Why was this deprecated? #193

Just wondering why this was deprecated in favour of react-tsparticles?

wufe commented 2 years ago

In March 2020 the underlying code for the particles movements has been swapped with tsparticles, in order to have a common codebase, making this library a de facto React wrapper on top of it.

The tsparticles repository have a much bigger community and more frequent fixes/feature implementations.

Since then, frequent misalignments between versions of react/typescript/tsparticles have caused some integration bugs on this library, and I'm currently not actively working on it.

Since all this library does now is to provide a wrap on top of that core engine, I deprecated react-particles-js in favor of the official React wrapper that is being maintained alongside tsparticles, react-tsparticles, so the users can get better support.
