• Responsive Design: Works seamlessly across different screen sizes.
• Performance Optimized: Efficiently manages snowflakes to ensure smooth animations.
• Easy Integration: Simple setup for any JavaScript framework or vanilla projects.
• TypeScript Support: Comes with type definitions for TypeScript projects.

Usage

<script>
  import SnowEffect from "make-anything-snow";

  const snowEffect = new SnowEffect({
    targetSelector: ".snow-container", // CSS selector for the container to apply the effect
    minSize: 5, // Minimum snowflake size in pixels
    maxSize: 20, // Maximum snowflake size in pixels
    speed: 5, // Snowflake fall speed (higher value = faster fall)
    maxFlakes: 200, // Maximum number of snowflakes to create
    density: 50, // Snowflake density (affects the number of flakes based on container size)
    wind: 2, // Wind strength affecting horizontal movement
    rotation: true, // Whether snowflakes should rotate as they fall
    rotationSpeed: 2, // Speed at which snowflakes rotate
    opacity: 0.8, // Opacity of the snowflakes,
    imageUrl: "snowflake.png", // Image to use for snowflakes (can be a URL or base64 data)
  });

  snowEffect.init(); // Initialize and start the snow effect
</script>

<div class="snow-container">
  <h1>Welcome to my project</h1>
  <p>Enjoy the snow effect on this page!</p>
</div>

<style>
  .snow-container {
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    overflow: hidden;
    pointer-events: none; /* Ensures snow doesn't block interactions */
    background: transparent; /* Set your desired background */
  }
</style>

Configuration Options

The following options can be passed to the SnowEffect constructor:

• targetSelector (string): Required. The CSS selector of the container where the snowflakes will fall. Defaults to .snow-container.
• imageUrl (string): Optional. The URL of the image used for snowflakes. Defaults to an SVG snowflake image.
• minSize (number): Optional. The minimum size of snowflakes in pixels. Defaults to 10.
• maxSize (number): Optional. The maximum size of snowflakes in pixels. Defaults to 30.
• speed (number): Optional. The speed at which the snowflakes fall. A higher value results in faster falling snowflakes. Defaults to 5.
• density (number): Optional. The density of the snowflakes. A higher value increases the number of snowflakes. Defaults to 30.
• maxFlakes (number): Optional. The maximum number of snowflakes to create. Defaults to 100.
• wind (number): Optional. The strength of the wind affecting the horizontal movement of the snowflakes. Defaults to 1.
• rotation (boolean): Optional. Whether snowflakes should rotate as they fall. Defaults to false.
• rotationSpeed (number): Optional. The speed of rotation for snowflakes. Defaults to 3.
• opacity (number): Optional. The opacity of the snowflakes. Ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). Defaults to 0.8.
