## What it is
A React component wrapper around particles.js/tsParticles for rendering animated particle backgrounds on an HTML canvas. It is deprecated and no longer actively maintained in favor of react-tsparticles.

## Use cases
- add animated particle background to a react app
- render interactive particles on canvas in react
- confine particles inside an svg polygon mask
- customize particle behavior via params object
- create a hero section with particle effects

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy react app already using react-particles-js
- you need the exact old API for compatibility

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use react-tsparticles instead
- you need bug fixes or ongoing support
- non-react projects

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation, graphics
- domain: frontend, web-development, graphics
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, particles, canvas, deprecated, tsparticles, web-server, nodejs
