NativeScript Particle Emitter

Particle emitter component for NativeScript.

Installation

Describe your plugin installation steps. Ideally it would be something like:

tns plugin add nativescript-particle-emitter

Usage

Add your particle emitter Page from XML:

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd"
  xmlns:pe="nativescript-particle-emitter">
  <GridLayout>
    <pe:ParticleEmitter isEmitting="true" />
  </GridLayout>
</Page>

or you can choose to pass in some configuration:

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd"
  xmlns:pe="nativescript-particle-emitter">
  <GridLayout>
    <pe:ParticleEmitter
      isEmitting="true"
      showDebug="true"
      emitOriginX="150"
      emitOriginY="200" 
      emitOriginWidth="100"
      emitOriginHeight="100"
      particleDuration="1000"
      emitCount="4" 
      emitInterval="60"  
      emitDistance="120"  
      emitDistanceVariation="50"  
      emitAngle="90"  
      emitAngleVariation="45" 
      colorPalette="red, green, #0000FF" />
  </GridLayout>
</Page>

Properties

Property	Default	Description
isEmitting	false	Controls wether the emitter is emitting
showDebug	false	Shows debug helpers
emitInterval	50	The interval used for emitting in milliseconds

emitDistanceVariation	40	Distance variation. Each particle will travel a random number in the range [distance - variation, distance + variation]
emitAngle	0	The angle (in degrees) at which particles are emitted
emitAngleVariation	180	Angle variation. Each particle will be emitted at a random angle in the range [angle - variation, angle + variation]
emitOriginX	0	The X coordinate of the center of the emit box
emitOriginY	0	The X coordinate of the center of the emit box
