## How to use it
### CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery
```html
```
### Usage
Once the scripts are loaded you can set up `tsParticles` like this:
```javascript
(async () => {
await loadStarsPreset(tsParticles);
await tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: {
preset: "stars",
},
});
})();
```
#### Customization
**Important ⚠️**
You can override all the options defining the properties like in any standard `tsParticles` installation.
```javascript
tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: {
particles: {
shape: {
type: "square", // starting from v2, this require the square shape script
},
},
preset: "stars",
},
});
```
Like in the sample above, the circles will be replaced by squares.
### Frameworks with a tsParticles component library
Checkout the documentation in the component library repository and call the `loadStarsPreset` function instead
of `loadFull`, `loadSlim` or similar functions.
The options shown above are valid for all the component libraries.
