In this post I am going to share cool jquery plugin (jQuery Snow Plugin) to add Fullscreen Snow Falling Effect With jQuery to wish Happy Christmas to your visitor on 25th of December. jQuery Snow Plugin is a simple jQuery snow plugin with customizable options and elements. Works with pure HTML elements. Can be used with FontAwesome or any other icon font as well as images.
Integrate snow falling effect on your website
Libraries
Include latest jquery core lib with jquery.snow.js
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js">script> <script src="jquery.snow.js">script> |
HTML
You can simply markup your html page with awesome messages or images.
JS
Finally apply plugins snow falling effect to the whole page body.
jQuery.fn.snow({ // also works on any block element target: jQuery("body"), // uses font awesome iconic font elements : [ { html: '', color: '#ffffff' } ] }); |
In order to compensate for not having a ratio mechanism built-in you can just add a proportionate number of copies to the elements array, see below:
var snowEffectInterval = jQuery.fn.snow({ // min size of element (default: 20) minSize: 10, // max size of element (default: 50) maxSize: 20, // flake fall time multiplier (default: 20) fallTimeMultiplier: 20, // flake fall time difference (default: 10000) fallTimeDifference: 10000, // interval (miliseconds) between new element spawns (default: 500) spawnInterval: 100, // jQuery element to apply snow effect on (should work on any block element) (default: body) target: jQuery("body"), //elements to use in generating snow effect elements : [ // Element #1 { // html element to be spawned for this element html: '', // hex color for this element - works only for font based icons color: '#ffffff' }, // Element #2 { // html element to be spawned for this element html: '', // hex color for this element - works only for font based icons color: '#ed9b40' }, // Element #3 { // html element to be spawned for this element html: '', // hex color for this element - works only for font based icons color: '#ffffff' }, // Element #4 { // html element to be spawned for this element html: '', // hex color for this element - works only for font based icons color: '#cc2037' }, // Element #5 { // html element to be spawned for this element html: '', // hex color for this element - works only for font based icons color: '#ffffff' }, ] }); |
