Usage
Load particles.js and configure the particles:
index.html
<div id="particles-js"></div> <script src="particles.js"></script>app.js
/* particlesJS.load(@dom-id, @path-json, @callback (optional)); */ particlesJS.load('particles-js', 'assets/particles.json', function() { console.log('callback - particles.js config loaded'); });particles.json
