I am currently working on a personal react project that involves particle.js, which is a library for creating interactive backgrounds. However, as I am watching some Udemy videos to learn how to use it, I encounter a problem: it’s not showing any particles on my screen.
App.js
import './App.css';
import { Routes, Route, useLocation } from 'react-router-dom'
import Particles from 'react-tsparticles';
import { loadFull } from 'tsparticles';
import Home from './containers/home';
import About from './containers/about';
import Skills from './containers/skills';
import Resume from './containers/resume';
import Portfolio from './containers/portfolio';
import Contact from './containers/contact';
import Navbar from './components/navBar';
import particlesConfig from "./helpers/particlesConfig";
function App() {
const particlesInit = async (main) => {
await loadFull(main);
};
const location = useLocation();
const renderParticleJsIfCurrentPageIsHomePage = location.pathname === "/";
return (
<div className="App">
{renderParticleJsIfCurrentPageIsHomePage && (
<Particles
id="particles"
options={particlesConfig}
init={particlesInit}
/>
)}
<Navbar />
<Routes>
<Route path='/' index element={<Home />} />
<Route path='/about' element={<About />} />
<Route path='/skills' element={<Skills />} />
<Route path='/resume' element={<Resume />} />
<Route path='/portfolio' element={<Portfolio />} />
<Route path='/contact' element={<Contact />} />
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
particlesConfig.js
export default {

I installed
npm packages but it didn’t help.
