Lottie for React

Lottie component for React

Lottie is a library that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as JSON with bodymovin and renders them natively!

For the first time, designers can create and ship beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating it by hand.

Installing

Install @rafaelns/react-lottie:

yarn add @rafaelns/react-lottie

or

npm i --save @rafaelns/react-lottie

Usage

LottieView can be used in a declarative way:

import React from 'react';
import Lottie from '@rafaelns/react-lottie';
import animation from './animation.json'

export const BasicExample = () => {
  return <Lottie source={animation} autoPlay loop />;
}

Additionally, there is an imperative API which is sometimes simpler.

import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import Lottie, { AnimationItem } from '@rafaelns/react-lottie';
import animation from '../path/to/animation.json'

export const BasicExample = () => {
  const animationRef = useRef<AnimationItem>()
  
  useEffect(() {
    animationRef.current.play();
    // Or set a specific startFrame and endFrame with:
    animationRef.current.play(30, 120);
  }, [])

  return (
    <Lottie
      animationRef={animationRef}
      source={animation}
    />
  );
}
