### `Usage`

Load particles.js and configure the particles:

**index.html**
```html
<div id="particles-js"></div>

<script src="particles.js"></script>
```

**app.js**
```javascript
/* particlesJS.load(@dom-id, @path-json, @callback (optional)); */
particlesJS.load('particles-js', 'assets/particles.json', function() {
  console.log('callback - particles.js config loaded');
});
```
