tsParticles preset for a Matrix-style rain animation.

Discord Telegram

Quick checklist

  1. Install @tsparticles/engine (or use the CDN bundle below)
  2. Call loadMatrixPreset(tsParticles) before tsParticles.load(...)
  3. Set preset: "matrix" in options

How to use it

CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tsparticles/preset-matrix@4/tsparticles.preset.matrix.bundle.min.js"></script>

Usage

Once the scripts are loaded you can set up tsParticles like this:

(async () => {
  await loadMatrixPreset(tsParticles);

  await tsParticles.load({
    id: "tsparticles",
    options: {
      preset: "matrix",
    },
  });
})();

Frameworks with a tsParticles component library

Checkout the documentation in the component library repository and call the loadMatrixPreset function instead of loadFull, loadSlim or similar functions.

The options shown above are valid for all the component libraries.

Dependencies

This preset loads and combines the following packages:

Package Role in this preset README
@tsparticles/basic Base runtime bundle used by the preset https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/basic
@tsparticles/effect-shadow Adds glow/shadow rendering around particles https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/effect-shadow
@tsparticles/engine tsParticles engine and preset registration https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/engine
@tsparticles/plugin-poisson-disc Applies Poisson-disc particle distribution https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/plugin-poisson-disc
@tsparticles/plugin-trail Adds persistent canvas trail rendering https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/plugin-trail
@tsparticles/shape-matrix Adds matrix glyph particle shape https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/shape-matrix

If you want to customize one specific behavior, start from the related package README above.

Common pitfalls

  • Calling tsParticles.load(...) before loadMatrixPreset(tsParticles)
  • Using particles.shape.type: "matrix" without loading the matrix shape package
  • Applying the shadow and trail options without loading the corresponding effect packages
