Particle Background Effect [ 20+ Best Particle Animation ]

Hello Friends, in this article I will teach you How to create particle effects in JavaScript and also i have listed best Particle Background Effect examples which are available on CodePen.

How to create Particle On Click ?

Step 1 — Creating a New Project

In this step, we need to create a new project folder and files(index.htmlstyle.css and main.js) for creating a Particle Effect. In the next step, you will start creating the structure of the webpage.

Step 2 — Setting Up the basic structure

In this step, we will add the HTML code to create the basic structure of the project.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Particles on click</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
  <script src="main.js"></script>
</head>
    <body data-particle="particle.png"></body>
</html>

We need to add a data attribute inside body tag, and add particle image which we want to show on mouse click

Step 3 — Adding Styles for the Classes

In this step, we will add styles to the section class Inside style.css file

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
}
body {
  margin: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  background: #fafafa;
}
particle {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  opacity: 0;
  pointer-events: none;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: contain;
  z-index: 1;
}

Step 4 — Adding JavaScript code

In this step, we will add some JavaScript code to build Particle in main.js file

function pop(event) {
  const amount = 50; // particle amount
  let x = event.clientX,
    y = event.clientY + window.scrollY;

  const create = (x, y) => {
    for (let i = 0; i < amount; i++)
      createParticle(x, y, event.target.dataset.particle);
  };

  // check if the button gots clicked with the keyborad
  if (event.clientX === 0 && event.clientY === 0) {
    const box = event.target.getBoundingClientRect();
    x = box.left + box.width / 2;
    y = box.top + box.height / 2;
  }
  create(x, y);
}

function createParticle(x, y, image) {
  const particle = document.createElement("particle");
  document.body.appendChild(particle);

  // just play a little bit with these values :)
  const size = Math.floor(Math.random() * 28 + 8);
  const destinationX = (Math.random() - 0.5) * 300;
  const destinationY = (Math.random() - 0.5) * 300;
  const rotation = Math.random() * 500;
  const duration = Math.random() * 1000 + 4000;
  const delay = Math.random() * 250;

  particle.style.backgroundImage = `url(${image})`;
  particle.style.width = particle.style.height = `${size}px`;

  const animation = particle.animate(
    [
      {
        transform: `translate(-50%, -50%) translate(${x}px, ${y}px) rotate(0deg)`,
        opacity: 1
      },
      {
        transform: `translate(-50%, -50%) translate(${x + destinationX}px, ${
          y + destinationY
        }px) rotate(${rotation}deg)`,
        opacity: 0
      }
    ],
    {
      duration,
      easing: "cubic-bezier(0, .9, .57, 1)",
      delay
    }
  );
  animation.onfinish = removeParticle;
}
function removeParticle(event) {
  event.srcElement.effect.target.remove();
}
if (document.body.animate) document.body.addEventListener("click", pop);
