Demo

* Live demo
* Demo source code

How to Use

Install: yarn add react-sparkle or npm install react-sparkle

Add Sparkle as a child of the element you want to add sparkles to. Important: the parent element must have either relative or absolute positioning.

``js
import React from 'react'
import Sparkle from 'react-sparkle'

const SparklyThing = () => (
// Note: the parent of Sparkle must be positioned relatively or absolutely



)
`

Options

All props are optional. These are the defaults:

`js
// The color of the sparkles. Can be a color, an array of colors,
// or 'random' (which will randomly pick from all hex colors).
color={'#FFF'}

// The number of sparkles to render. A large number could slow
// down the page.
count={50}

// The minimum and maximum diameter of sparkles, in pixels.
minSize={5}
maxSize={8}

// The number of pixels the sparkles should extend beyond the
// bounds of the parent element.
overflowPx={20}

// How quickly sparkles disappear; in other words, how quickly
// new sparkles are created. Should be between 0 and 1000,
// with 0 never fading sparkles out and 1000 immediately
// removing sparkles. Most meaningful speeds are between
// 0 and 150.
fadeOutSpeed={50}

// Whether we should create an entirely new sparkle when one
// fades out. If false, we'll just reset the opacity, keeping
// all other attributes of the sparkle the same.
newSparkleOnFadeOut={true}

// Whether sparkles should have a "flickering" effect.
flicker={true}

// How quickly the "flickering" should happen.
// One of: 'slowest', 'slower', 'slow', 'normal', 'fast', 'faster', 'fastest'
flickerSpeed={'normal'}
/>
`

Limitations


* The props only take effect on mount. If you need modified props to take effect, you need to unmount and remount Sparkle`.
* The sparkle image sprites aren't currently customizable. In the future, we might want to accept custom images or use drawn canvas shapes to eliminate the images altogether.
