Install this theme component
This theme component creates confetti where the user clicks or taps. The amount of confetti and the angle of spread of confetti can both be controlled using settings.
This TC creates more fun for your community to make it more interactive.
The confetti is made possible with tsParticles, a JS library for animating confetti, snow, lines and more.
Some assistance came from [ask.discourse.com](http://ask.discourse.com).
Settings:
1. `confetti_amount` changes the amount of confetti on each click.
> ⚠ Try not to put too high a number, or there will be more lag with the confetti appearing and dispersing. 100-200 is a good range.
1. `confetti_spread` changes the angle of which the confetti disperses. All numbers are in degrees. A value of `360` causes the confetti to disperse in all directions. A value of `1` causes the confetti to disperse and fall in a straight line.
2. `allowed_in` sets where the confetti can be used in. Enter the category slug(s) into this field. For multiple categories, separate the slugs with a `|` (no spaces).
Leaving this field blank enables confetti in all pages.

This is fun! Might I suggest adding limits to where this is enabled? It doesn’t seem practical when navigating a general space, but it could be fun on a celebratory page.

this needs to be tied to the automation for members’ birthdays 😃

Would this be a forum page like `/leaderboard` or `/about`, or topics in a specific category?

UPDATE:
There is a new setting, `allowed_in`, that allows the confetti to be showed only in specific categories. Enter the category slug. For multiple categories, separate them with a `|`.

This is now fixed! Leaving this field blank enables confetti in all pages.

Update: the `allowed_in` category is now updated to use `category` as the `list_type` for the setting. This allows a better way to select categories.

The theme creator preview link doesn’t do anything for me.

Whoops, my bad. The categories in the setting were `#school` and `#movies`. I’ve changed it to `#general`.

This may be the most useless TC 😆

I’ll be modernising the script tag soon. Perhaps even with a setting to show on specific URL paths.
