Particle drift: A canvas field of slow drifting particles that wrap at the edges, and link with faint lines and ease away where the pointer passes.

## Frameworks

react, vue, svelte, astro, html

## Preview controls

These controls are passed to the demo. Defaults and limits describe the preview; consult the implementation for its full prop API.

| Name | Type | Default | Options or constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| count | number | 200 | From 40 to 300; step 10 |
| color | color | #38BDF8 | No additional limit in the metadata. |
| connectDistance | number | 130 | From 40 to 200; step 5 |

## Usage notes

Particle drift uses the wide preview frame with a dark theme setting.

### Which frameworks are available for Particle drift?

Particle drift is available for React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, HTML. The live preview uses React; the source observations below apply to index.tsx. Check the selected port before relying on the same interactions.

### What does Particle drift depend on?

The React metadata lists these npm dependencies beyond React: clsx.

### What accessibility details are visible in Particle drift?

The React source for Particle drift includes: attributes and handlers (aria-hidden). These are source observations. Verify accessible names, focus order and keyboard behavior in the composed page.

### How does Particle drift handle reduced motion?

Particle drift reads the motion preference in its React source through matchMedia(prefers-reduced-motion). Check the full implementation, shared styles and selected port with reduced motion enabled; these observations do not establish that every animation stops.
