A modular HTML Canvas library

DEMO (React)

import { Effect } from 'canvas-effects'

new Effect(HTMLCanvasElement, Config)

These are the required properties.

width : number

height : number

Setting the width or height value to Infinity will fill the respective viewport.

const foo = new Effect(bar, {
	width: Infinity,
	height: 500
})

All config properties listed from this point on are optional.

seed : number

Changes the amount of random points generated based on the size of the canvas. A smaller number will produce more points, resulting in lower performance.

Default: 5000

point : {Object}

color : [number, number, number, number]

RGBA value of point.

Default: [0, 0, 0, 1]

radius : number

Range tuple [max, min] of point radius.

Default: 2

velocity : number

Range tuple [max, min] of the velocity at which the vertices travel.

Default: 10

line : {Object}

color : [number, number, number, number]

RGBA value of line.

Default: [0, 0, 0, 1]

fade : boolean

If true, the lines will slowly disappear as they become larger.

Default: true

max : number

Length at which the lines disappear.

Default: 100

width : number

Sets the width of the line.

Default: 1

seed : number

Changes the amount of random points generated based on the sized of the canvas. A smaller number will produce more points, resulting in lower performance.

Default: 5000

color : [number, number, number, number]

ColorRGBA [r, g, b, a].

Default: [0, 0, 0, 1]

mouse : boolean

If true, the light source will move with the user's mouse.

Default: false

shade : number

A number from 0 to 1 representing the max shade value. If value is 1, then polygons will be completely black when hidden from the light source. If the value is 0, the light source will not affect the polygons at all.

Default: 0.5

stroke : {Object}

The stroke property is an object that allows the user to configure the strokes of the polygons. By default this property is not initialized and therefore the stroke is the same color as the polygon fill.

color : [number, number, number, number]

ColorRGBA [r, g, b, a] of the stroke.

Default: undefined

width : number

Sets the width of the stroke.

Default: undefined
