I have been trying to implement Particles.js on my portfolio website but have been rather unsuccessful. This is the following line of code I have run in my library to get it running:
npm i react-tsparticles
I couldn't add this package to my website so i tried to add this to a new project. i tried 2 different tutorial video to add it but it didn't work out. These are the videos

This is how my page looks right now
This is how my page should look
This is my configuration file for particles
const particlesConfig = {

enable: true,

},
particles: {

}
},

},

},

}
}
},

};
export default particlesConfig;
This is my background component
import React from 'react';
import Particles from "react-tsparticles";
import particlesConfig from '../config/particles-config.js';
const particleBackground = () => {
return (
<Particles options={particlesConfig} height="50vh" width='50vw'/>
)
}
export default particleBackground
And this is my App component
import React from "react";
import ParticleBackground from "./components/ParticleBackground";
import "./App.css"
const App = () => {
return (
<div className="App">
<ParticleBackground/>
<div className="particlesheader">
<h1>Particle.JS</h1>
</div>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
Hope you guys can help me out! Thanks!
I think there is problem with latest version of react-tsparticles.
this codesandbox react-tsparticles template using version 1.40.2 but latest version for react-tsparticles is 2.0.6. I uninstalled 1.40.2 in codesandbox and installed 2.0.6 and i realized the problem is about new versions.
So i installed the version 1.40.2 in my project and it's working right now.
