This library is available on two of the most popular CDNs and it's easy and ready to use, if you were using particles.js it's even easier.
You'll find the instructions below, with all the links you need, and don't be scared by TypeScript, it's just the source language.
The output files are just JavaScript. 🤩
CDNs and npm have all the sources you need in Javascript, a bundle browser ready (tsparticles.engine.min.js), and
all
files splitted for import syntax.
If you are interested there are some simple instructions just below to guide you to migrate from the old particles.js library.

npm install tsparticles-engineyarn add tsparticles-enginepnpm install tsparticles-engineconst tsParticles = require("tsparticles-engine");
// or
import { tsParticles } from "tsparticles-engine";The imported tsParticles is the same instance you have when including the script in the page using the <script> tag.
Load tsParticles and configure the particles:
index.html
<div id="tsparticles"></div>
<script src="tsparticles.engine.min.js"></script>app.js
/* tsParticles.load(@params); */
tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: {
/* options here */
},
// url: "http://foo.bar/particles.js // this can be used as an alternative to options property
});
// after initialization this can be used.
/* tsParticles.setOnClickHandler(@callback); */
/* this will be fired from all particles loaded */
tsParticles.setOnClickHandler((event, particles) => {
/* custom on click handler */
});
// now you can control the animations too, it's possible to pause and resume the animations
// these methods don't change the config so you're safe with all your configurations
// domItem(0) returns the first tsParticles instance loaded in the dom
const particles = tsParticles.domItem(0);
// play will start the animations, if the move is not enabled it won't enable it, it just updates the frame
particles.play();
// pause will stop the animations
particles.pause();ng-particles

The plugin page hosted on WordPress.org can be found here
Actually, an official tsParticles plugin isn't existing, but I have a collaboration with
the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin collection.
Use Premium Addons for Elementor Page Builder and get the chance to include tsParticles in your next WordPress website without the need to write a single line of code. See a Live Example.

$ pnpm i
$ pnpm run build
$ cd demo/vanilla
$ pnpm startBoom! 💥 http://localhost:3000 and you can check out other demos.
If you are brave enough you can switch to the dev branch for trying the features under development.
tsParticles has a package that makes this library 100% compatible with the particles.js configuration.
Seriously, you just need to change the script from particles.js to the bundled compatibility package, et-voilà, you're ready 🧙!
