A React Snowfall Effect with Physics

Source: Dev.to

I released an open‑source library called @hdcodedev/snowfall. It adds a snowfall effect to React applications where the snow interacts with the page content. Unlike typical overlays, this effect uses physics so snowflakes land and accumulate on your HTML elements (headers, cards, buttons, etc.).

Features

• Physics – wind, gravity, and collision detection.
• Accumulation – snow piles up on elements and eventually melts.
• Smart Detection – use data-snowfall attributes or let the library auto‑detect semantic tags.

Installation

npm install @hdcodedev/snowfall

Usage

import { Snowfall, SnowfallProvider } from '@hdcodedev/snowfall';

export default function App() {
  return (
    
      

      {/* Snow will accumulate on this element */}
      
        
## Winter Mode

      
    
  );
}
