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.
