How to setup particles.js with React ?

[Kasunjalitha]

I wanna setup this particles.js library with React application. I have installed with npm install particles.js. Then how to import it and use it? Where should I put particlesjs-config.json file?

You don't need to install that package to have particles in React. There's this package that already creates a particles component in React: https://github.com/Wufe/react-particles-js

There's a deprecation notice here: https://github.com/Wufe/react-particles-js#warning-deprecation-notice that recommends to migrate to react-tsparticles

It’s not recommended since there's a memory leak that can worsen the website performance
