Lottie-Player
Add the element lottie-player and set the src property to a URL pointing to a valid Bodymovin JSON.
<lottie-player
autoplay
controls
loop
mode="normal"
src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_UJNc2t.json"
style="width: 320px"
>
</lottie-player>You may set and load animations programatically as well.
<lottie-player autoplay controls loop mode="normal" style="width: 320px">
</lottie-player>const player = document.querySelector("lottie-player");
player.addEventListener("rendered", (e) => {
//Load via URL
player.load("https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_UJNc2t.json");
// or load via a Bodymovin JSON string/object
player.load(
'{"v":"5.3.4","fr":30,"ip":0,"op":38,"w":315,"h":600,"nm":"new", ... }'
);
});TGS-Player
Add the element tgs-player and set the src property to a URL pointing to a valid TGS JSON.
<tgs-player autoplay loop mode="normal" src="https//domain/example.tgs">
</tgs-player>ReactJS & VueJS
Import the player either as
import * as LottiePlayer from "@lottiefiles/lottie-player";or
require("@lottiefiles/lottie-player");Use as follows
<lottie-player
autoplay
controls
loop
mode="normal"
src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_UJNc2t.json"
style="width: 320px"
></lottie-player>Typescript ReactJS
Import the player either as
import * as LottiePlayer from "@lottiefiles/lottie-player";or
require("@lottiefiles/lottie-player");Use as follows
<lottie-player
autoplay
controls
loop
mode="normal"
src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_UJNc2t.json"
style="width: 320px"
></lottie-player>For typescript projects an added step is required. The component must be declared as a JSX intrinsic element. Create a file 'declarations.d.ts' in the root of your project and add the code below to the file.
declare namespace JSX {
interface IntrinsicElements {
"lottie-player": any;
}
}Nuxt 2
Create a lottie-player.js file inside the /plugins folder and add the below code to the file:
import * as LottiePlayer from "@lottiefiles/lottie-player";\
Open nuxt.config.js file and add the following entry to register the newly created plugin:
export default {
plugins: [{ src: "~/plugins/lottie-player.js", mode: "client" }]
}This is because the player script needs to be rendered on the browser/client side and we must configure Nuxt to load the script on the client side only.
\
You would then be able to use the player as follows inside any component:
<lottie-player
autoplay
controls
loop
style="width:400px"
src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_RItkEz.json"
speed="1"
debug
/>Nuxt 3
The process for Nuxt 3 is slightly different.
Create a lottie-player.client.ts file inside the /plugins folder and add the below code to the file:
import * as LottiePlayer from "@lottiefiles/lottie-player";
export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => LottiePlayer);\
Your plugin will be automatically available throughout your Nuxt application thanks to the plugin auto-registration. Note the client suffix in the name of the plugin - this tells Nuxt to load it only on the client side, as the Lottie Player script can only be rendered in the browser.
You would then be able to use the player as follows inside any component:
<lottie-player
autoplay
controls
loop
style="width:400px"
src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_RItkEz.json"
speed="1"
debug
/>NextJS
The process to import in NextJS is similar to Nuxt in the sense that on SSR mode, the library must be declared as a client side module. To do this, import the library within a react useEffect hook.
import React, { useRef } from "react";
export default function Home() {
const ref = useRef(null);
React.useEffect(() => {
import("@lottiefiles/lottie-player");
});
return (
<div className={styles.container}>
<main className={styles.main}>
<lottie-player
id="firstLottie"
ref={ref}
autoplay
controls
loop
mode="normal"
src="https://assets4.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_gb5bmwlm.json"
style={{ width: "300px", height: "300px" }}
></lottie-player>
</main>
</div>
);
}Do add a declaration file named declaration.d.ts to the root of the project as well
declare namespace JSX {
interface IntrinsicElements {
"lottie-player": any;
}
