Lottie component for React Native (iOS and Android)
Lottie is a mobile library for Android and iOS that parses [Adobe After Effects](http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html) animations exported as JSON with [bodymovin](https://github.com/bodymovin/bodymovin) and renders them natively on mobile!
For the first time, designers can create **and ship** beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating it by hand.
# Getting Started
Get started with Lottie by installing the node module with yarn or npm:
```
yarn add lottie-react-native
```
or
```
npm i --save lottie-react-native
```
## iOS
Use `react-native link` to add the library to your project:
```
react-native link lottie-ios
react-native link lottie-react-native
```
After this, open the Xcode project configuration and add the `Lottie.framework` as `Embedded Binaries`.
## Android
For android, you can `react-native link` as well:
```
react-native link lottie-react-native
```
# Usage
LottieView can be used in a declarative way:
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';
export default class BasicExample extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
);
}
}
```
Additionally, there is an imperative API which is sometimes simpler.
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';
export default class BasicExample extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.animation.play();
// Or set a specific startFrame and endFrame with:
this.animation.play(30, 120);
}
render() {
return (
{
this.animation = animation;
}}
source={require('../path/to/animation.json')}
/>
);
}
}
```
Lottie's animation progress can be controlled with an `Animated` value:
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Animated, Easing } from 'react-native';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';
export default class BasicExample extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
progress: new Animated.Value(0),
};
}
componentDidMount() {
Animated.timing(this.state.progress, {
toValue: 1,
duration: 5000,
easing: Easing.linear,
}).start();
}
render() {
return (
);
}
}
```
## API
You can find The full list of props and methods available in our [API document](https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-react-native/blob/master/docs/api.md). These are the most commont ones:
| Prop | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
|**`source`**| **Mandatory** - The source of animation. This must be a JS object of an animation, obtained (for example) with something like `require('../path/to/animation.json')`. This is needed in order to fix things. | *None* |
|**`style`**| Style attributes for the view, as expected in a standard [`View`](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/layout-props.html). | The `aspectRatio` exported by Bodymovin will be set. Also the `width` if you haven't provided a `width` or `height` |
|**`loop`**| A boolean flag indicating whether or not the animation should loop. | `false` |
|**`autoPlay`**| A boolean flag indicating whether or not the animation should start automatically when mounted. This only affects the imperative API. | `false` |
