## What it is
A small JavaScript library that disintegrates DOM elements like buttons into bursting particle effects using canvas and anime.js, and can reassemble them. It offers configurable particle shape, style, direction, duration, and easing.

## Use cases
- add particle burst effect to button clicks
- disintegrate an element into particles on interaction
- create eye-catching micro-interactions on a website
- animate a button disappearing into particles
- reassemble an element from particles

## When to choose
- you want a polished particle disintegration effect on buttons or small elements with minimal setup
- you already use anime.js and want a ready-made effect on top of it
- you need configurable particle shapes, directions, and easing

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose animation library rather than one specific effect
- your project requires a permissively licensed dependency, as this repo has no license file
- you need effects on large elements or high-frequency animations where canvas particle overhead matters

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser
- tags: particles, buttons, animejs, canvas, micro-interactions, visual-effects, javascript
