[](#installation-and-usage)

### 1. Require the package

[](#1-require-the-package)

You can install this package via composer using:

[](#3-usage-in-blade)

Simply add `@snowfall` directive in your blade file, inside of the `` tag, on the pages where you want the snowfall to appear:

```

    @snowfall

```

### 4. Configuration

[](#4-configuration)

Edit `config/snowfall.php` to customize:

- **activate**: Enable or disable globally.
- **start\_date / end\_date**: Optional seasonal activation.
- **layers**: Array of snow layers. Each layer supports:
    - **flake\_count**: Number of flakes in this layer.
    - **max\_size**: Maximum flake size.
    - **max\_speed**: Maximum falling speed.
    - **swing\_min / swing\_max**: Side-to-side swinging amplitude.
- **color**: Snow RGB color (e.g., `'255,255,255'`).
- **opacity**: Snow opacity (`0.0`–`1.0`).
- **canvas\_z\_index**: Z-index of the snow ``.

Example:

```
'layers' => [
    [
        'flake_count' => 60,
        'max_size' => 4,
        'max_speed' => 1,
        'swing_min' => 0.5,
        'swing_max' => 1.5,
    ],
    // Add more layers as needed
],
```

#### Environment Variables

[](#environment-variables)

You may override any configuration setting via .env. Here are the available keys:

##### Master switch

[](#master-switch)

```
SNOWFALL_ENABLED=true
```

`true` → package loads and snow logic runs (default value)

`false` → package does nothing, no assets included

##### Mode control

[](#mode-control)

```
SNOWFALL_MODE=seasonal
```

Possible values:

ValueDescription`seasonal`Snow only appears between the configured dates (default value)`always`Snow appears all the time##### Seasonal dates

[](#seasonal-dates)

```
SNOWFALL_START_DATE=2025-12-01
SNOWFALL_END_DATE=2025-12-31
```

If not provided, the package defaults to:

December 1 → December 31 of the current year.

### 5. Notes

[](#5-notes)

The snow is rendered via a `` overlay with pointer-events: none so it won’t block user interaction. Works on all modern browsers with JavaScript enabled. Multiple layers create depth for a more realistic snowfall effect.
