Add Snow to Your Website with Snowify: 2 lines of JavaScript

It's the holiday season and what better way to get into the festive spirit than by adding some snow to your website? With Snowify, a small JavaScript library, you can easily add a snow effect to any website by simply inserting two lines of code in the head of your HTML file.

To use Snowify, first, you need to include the library in your HTML file. You can do this by adding the following script tag in the head of your HTML page:

<script src="https://gauravkrp.com/snowify.min.js"></script>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, you need to initialize the snow effect by calling the initSnowify() function. You can do this by adding the following script tag in the head of your HTML file:

<script>
  initSnowify();
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will use the default values for the snow effect, which include a white color and a count of 200 snowflakes. You can customize the snow effect by passing an options object to the initSnowify() function. Make sure that this function get called only after DOM is loaded, so you might need to move this piece of code to the footer or before body closing tag.

For example, you can specify the color of the snowflakes by using the snowColor property:

<script>
  initSnowify({
    snowColor: 'offWhite',
    snowCount: 100
  });
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The snowColor property can be set to one of the following values: white, offWhite, veryLightBlue, lightBlue, and blue. The default value is white.

You can also customize the number of snowflakes to display on the screen by using the snowCount property. The snowCount property can be set to any positive integer. The default value is 200.

Snowify is a simple and easy-to-use JavaScript library that lets you add a snow effect to any website. It's a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday season and bring some cheer to your website. Snowify your website today and spread the holiday cheer!
