Answer 1

When you install the npm i react-particles-js in your project. In the initial doc the develper mentioned the react-particles-js is dependant on "tsparticles" so you just install "npm i tsparticles".

npm i tsparticles

Nothing else and restart your server .I think this time its working fine. Here is my Particle component.

import React from 'react'
import Particles from 'react-particles-js'

function Particless  (){
    return (
      <Particles
      params={{
        particles: {
          number: {
            value: 200,
            density: {
              enable: true,
              value_area: 1000,
            }
          },
        },
      }}
    />
    )
}

export default Particless

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/16.6.3/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-dom/16.6.3/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>

Answer 2

try installing ts particles npm package as this should fix the issue

Answer 3

Uninstall "react-particles-js", because it's deprecated. Install "react-particles" instead.

npm install react-particles

In your Component:

import Particles from "react-particles";

Answer 4

here is what I did.

removed the node modules > removed the packagelock.json > npm i tsparticles

then it worked for me.
