"core" vs "full"?

Great work on the active development of tsParticles!

Is there any option to import a reduced/smaller, more “core” tsParticles library? Core in the sense of the fundamental behavior and options.

Something like

import { tsParticlesCore } from "tsparticles";

that would provide only the most slimmed down possible functionality, and then could allow importing additional aspects if needed (manually)?

Theoretical example of more extensive features…

import { tsParticlesCore, tsParticlesShapes, tsParticlesPlugins,  } from "tsparticles";

Or support for the entire library if wanted, using the known regular import:

import { tsParticles } from "tsparticles";

Thanks in advance for thoughts.

Hi @ccssmnn, actually is not available but I’m working on the 2.x release that will be more customizable.

Hi @mmilano,

Actually, there are two builds: tsparticles.slim and tsparticles.

The slim version doesn’t have plugins preinstalled (Absorbers, PolygonMask, Emitters), the other build has all features.

If you want a more slimmer version you can check out the Loader class, it’s the class that creates all the container and the tsParticles object is just a wrapper to it loading shapes and plugins.

That class should be the lightest way to load tsParticles but I’m trying to bring more composability to the project so everyone can load only what is really necessary.
