MagicMouse.js

A lightweight javascript library to create some amazing effects for the mouse (cursor) on your website - MagicMouse.js : https://magicmousejs.web.app/

There’s more than 4 effects and I’m keep updating now, you can try other effect on https://magicmousejs.web.app/ by changing the example and click to “Try it” button.

Installation

MagicMouse.js is a vanilla javascript library so you DON’T need to include any other library like jQuery. You just need to include 2 things to your HTML :

Put the CSS file to your head tag:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/magic-mouse.css" />

Include the js file to the bottom of your HTML file (right before the end of body tag) :

  <script type="text/javascript" src="dist/magic_mouse.js"></script>

Insert your options and initialize :

<script type="text/javascript">
    options = {
	"cursorOuter": "circle-basic",
	"hoverEffect": "circle-move",
	"hoverItemMove": false,
	"defaultCursor": false,
	"outerWidth": 30,
	"outerHeight": 30
      };
    magicMouse(options);
</script>

Hover effect :

If you want your mouse have elegant hover effect, don’t forget to add the class “magic-hover” to the element you want it have hover effect, for example :

  <a class="magic-hover magic-hover__square">download</a>

Configuration list (updating):

Variable name	Value
cursorOuter	Default: “circle-basic”, other options : “disable”
hoverEffect	default: “circle-move”, other options : “pointer-blur”, “pointer-overlay”

CDN

Magicmouse.js is on the cloud now, you don’t even need to download it to your server :
