[tsParticles](https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles) slim bundle loads some of the most used features to
a `tsparticles-engine` instance.

## How to use it

### CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

The CDN/Vanilla version JS has two different files:

- One is a bundle file with all the scripts included in a single file
- One is a file including just the `loadSlim` function to load the tsParticles slim preset, all dependencies must be
  included manually

#### Bundle

Including the `tsparticles.slim.bundle.min.js` file will work exactly like `v1`, you can start using the `tsParticles`
instance in the same way.

This is the easiest usage, since it's a single file with the some of the `v1` features.

All new features will be added as external packages, this bundle is recommended for migrating from `v1` easily.

#### Not Bundle

This installation requires more work since all dependencies must be included in the page. Some lines above are all
specified in the **Included Packages** section.

### Usage

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

```javascript
(async () => {
  await loadSlim(tsParticles); // not needed if using the bundle script, required for any other installation

  await tsParticles.load("tsparticles", {
    /* options */
  });
})();
```

### React.js / Preact / Inferno

_The syntax for `React.js`, `Preact` and `Inferno` is the same_.

This sample uses the class component syntax, but you can use hooks as well (if the library supports it).

_Class Components_

```typescript jsx
import React from "react";
import Particles from "react-particles";
import type { Engine } from "tsparticles-engine";
import { loadSlim } from "tsparticles-slim";

export class ParticlesContainer extends PureComponent<unknown> {
  // this customizes the component tsParticles installation
  async customInit(engine: Engine) {
    // this adds the bundle to tsParticles
    await loadSlim(engine);
  }

  render() {
    const options = {
      /* custom options */
    };

    return <Particles options={options} init={this.customInit} />;
  }
}
```

_Hooks / Functional Components_

```typescript jsx
import React, { useCallback } from "react";
import Particles from "react-particles";
import type { Engine } from "tsparticles-engine";
import { loadSlim } from "tsparticles-slim";

export function ParticlesContainer(props: unknown) {
  // this customizes the component tsParticles installation
  const customInit = useCallback(async (engine: Engine) => {
    // this adds the bundle to tsParticles
    await loadSlim(engine);
  });

  const options = {
    /* custom options */
  };

  return <Particles options={options} init={this.customInit} />;
}
```

### Vue (2.x and 3.x)

_The syntax for `Vue.js 2.x` and `3.x` is the same_

```vue
<Particles id="tsparticles" :particlesInit="particlesInit" :options="options" />
```

```js
const options = {
  /* custom options */
};

async function particlesInit(engine: Engine) {
  await loadSlim(engine);
}
```

### Angular

```html
<ng-particles [id]="id" [options]="options" [particlesInit]="particlesInit"></ng-particles>
```

```ts
const options = {
  /* custom options */
};

async function particlesInit(engine: Engine): void {
  await loadSlim(engine);
}
```

### Svelte

```sveltehtml

<Particles
        id="tsparticles"
        options={options}
        particlesInit="{particlesInit}"
/>
```

```js
let options = {
  /* custom options */
};

let particlesInit = async (engine) => {
  await loadSlim(engine);
};
```
