Basic usage

The Particles library depends on anime.js to perform animations, so you need to include it before Particles. Also, please make sure to include all the scripts at the end of the body element.

Then you can start disintegrating/integrating things like:

<!-- Normal HTML element to disintegrate -->
<button class="button">Button</button>

<script src="anime.min.js"></script>
<script src="dist/particles.min.js"></script>
<script>
    // Initialize a new instance of Particles to disintegrate/integrate the button
    var particles = new Particles('.button');

    // Disintegrate the button into particles
    particles.disintegrate();

    // particles.integrate(); // would do the opposite
</script>

Options

For customization, you can pass options to Particles constructor. That options will override the default values, and will be used for any future operation (disintegrate or integrate). You can also override the options for a specific operation. Here is the complete list of options available:

Name	Type	Default	Description
canvasPadding	Integer	150	Padding for the generated canvas that will be positioned right behind the target element. A canvasPadding = 0 will cause the canvas and the target element to have the same dimensions.
duration	Integer	1000	Duration (ms) to perform the animations of target element and particles.
easing	String or Function	easeInOutCubic	Easing function to perform the animation of target element. It will be passed directly to anime.js.
type	String	circle	Type of particle. Could be any of the following values: circle, rectangle, triangle
style	String	fill	Style of particle. Could be any of the following values: fill, stroke.
direction	String	left	Direction to start disintegrating the element. Could be any of the following values: left, right, top, bottom. The opposite direction will be used to perform the integrate operation.
size	Float or Function	Random from 1 to 4	Size (px) for particles.
speed	Float or Function	Random from -2 to 2	Pixels per frame that a particle will be moved. It could be a function to set it randomly per particle (as default value).
color	String	Target's background-color	Color used to fill the particles.
particlesAmountCoefficient	Float	3	A coefficient to calculate the amount of particles to animate. A particlesAmountCoefficient = 0 will result in 0 particles, while bigger values will increase the amount of particles.
oscilationCoefficient	Float	20	A coefficient to calculate the oscilation of particles while animating. A oscilationCoefficient = 0 will result in no oscilation (straight movements), while bigger values will increase the oscilation, resulting in a kind of randomness.
begin	Function	undefined	Execute a function at the beginning of the animation.
complete	Function	undefined	Execute a function at the end of the animation.
