Fully declarative React Lottie player

Fully declarative React Lottie player

Inspired by several existing packages wrapping lottie-web for React, I created this package because I wanted something that just works and is simple to use. None of the alternatives properly handle changes of props like playing/pausing/segments. This lead to lots of hacks to get the animations to play correctly.

react-lottie-player is a complete rewrite using modern hooks 🎣 for more readable code, an easy to use, seamless and fully declarative control of the lottie player.

Does not leak memory like lottie-web if you use repeaters.

Install

npm install --save react-lottie-player

Usage

import React from 'react'
import Lottie from 'react-lottie-player'
// Alternatively:
// import Lottie from 'react-lottie-player/dist/LottiePlayerLight'


import lottieJson from './my-lottie.json'

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <Lottie
      loop
      animationData={lottieJson}
      play
      style={{ width: 150, height: 150 }}
    />
  )
}

Lazy loading example

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [animationData, setAnimationData] = useState();

  useEffect(() => {
    import('./animation.json').then(setAnimationData);
  }, []);

  if (!animationData) return <div>Loading...</div>;
  return <Lottie animationData={animationData} />;
}

LottiePlayerLight

The default lottie player uses eval. If you don't want eval to be used in your code base, you can instead import react-lottie-player/dist/LottiePlayerLight. For more discussion see #39.

Lottie animation track scrolling div

See example/App.js (ScrollTest) in live example.

Resize mode: cover

If you want the animation to fill the whole container, you can pass this prop. See also #55:

<Lottie rendererSettings={{ preserveAspectRatio: 'xMidYMid slice' }} />
