Installation

via yarn

yarn add @lottiefiles/lottie-interactivity

via npm

npm install --save @lottiefiles/lottie-interactivity

via cdn

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@lottiefiles/lottie-interactivity@latest/dist/lottie-interactivity.min.js"></script>

Demo

To see examples of all these features, please visit the LottieFiles interactivity page.


Getting started

1. Import lottie player script to DOM

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@lottiefiles/lottie-player@1/dist/lottie-player.js"></script> // place this in your body element

2. Add a Lottie to html dom with an ID set to the div

<lottie-player
  id="firstLottie"
  src="https://assets2.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_i9mxcD.json"
  style="width:400px; height: 400px;"
>
</lottie-player>

3. Setup configuration

The name of the player ie: 'firstLottie' in this example is the ID set to the lottie web component on the html page. Configration will contain an actions object. This object takes an array named actions which consists of an array of objects. Multiple objects can be added into this array and therefore multiple actions such as "seek","play", "stop" and "loop", can be set.

Each object has a start and end which is essentially a percentage for the height of the lottie container and is a value between 0 and 1. The visibility arrays first value is the start and the second value is the end. This refers to the percentage of the viewport.

Ensure that the ending frame is the frame you want the interactivity to end at. This could be the last frame or a frame of your choosing. In this case it is set to 100.

Configuration modes include "scroll" where the animation will be synced to the scrolling of the window, "cursor" where the scrolling of the animation will be synced to the cursor position within the container. And "chain" allowing you to interact with multiple Lottie animations one after the other.

The configuration can include a container field as shown in the next example. If a container is not provided the parent div will be taken as a container.

ensure that the interactivity library is imported to the body of your html DOM

LottieInteractivity.create({
  mode: 'scroll',
  player: '#firstLottie',
  actions: [
    {
      visibility: [0, 1],
      type: 'seek',
      frames: [0, 100],
    },
  ],
});
3.1 React config

The configuration for the library remains the same for react apps. However usage and initialization is as follows. Import the create function from the lottie interactivity library and call the create function. With frameworks like react it is ideal to add an event listener that waits for the lottie player to load before calling the interactivity library. An example is as follows for a very basic react class component.

import React from 'react';
import '@lottiefiles/lottie-player';
import { create } from '@lottiefiles/lottie-interactivity';

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.myRef = React.createRef(); // 1. create a reference for the lottie player
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    // 3. listen for player load. see lottie player repo for other events
    this.myRef.current.addEventListener('load', function (e) {
      // 4. configure the interactivity library
      create({
        mode: 'scroll',
        player: '#firstLottie',
        actions: [
          {
            visibility: [0, 1],
            type: 'seek',
            frames: [0, 100],
          },
        ],
      });
    });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <div style={{ height: '400px' }}></div>
        <lottie-player
          ref={this.myRef} // 2. set the reference for the player
          id="firstLottie"
          controls
          mode="normal"
          src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_UJNc2t.json"
          style={{ width: '320px' }}
        ></lottie-player>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;
3.2 Vue config

The configuration for the library remains the same for vue apps. However usage and initialization is as follows. Import the create function from the lottie interactivity library and call the create function. With frameworks like vue it is ideal to add an event listener that waits for the lottie player to load before calling the interactivity library. An example is as follows for a very basic vue class component.

<template>
  <!--  1. Create a lottie player with a reference -->
  <lottie-player id="firstLottie"
                 ref="lottie"
                 controls
                 mode="normal"
                 src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_UJNc2t.json"
                 style="width: 320px;">
  </lottie-player>
</template>

<script>
  import '@lottiefiles/lottie-player';
  import { create } from '@lottiefiles/lottie-interactivity';

  export default {
  name: 'App',

  mounted() {
    // 2. listen for player load. See lottie player repo for other events
    this.$refs.lottie.addEventListener('load', function() {
      // 3. configure the interactivity library
      create({
        mode: 'scroll',
        player: '#firstLottie',
        actions: [
          {
            visibility: [0, 1],
            type: 'seek',
            frames: [0, 100],
          },
        ],
      });
    })
  }
}
</script>
