Lottie

Lottie allows you to implement animation-specific operations.

NOTE

The APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Modules to Import

import lottie from '@ohos/lottieETS'

NOTE

To use Lottie, download it first by running the ohpm install @ohos/lottieETS command in the Terminal window.

lottie.loadAnimation

loadAnimation(

path: string, container: object, render: string, loop: boolean, autoplay: boolean, name: string ): AnimationItem

Loads an animation. Before calling this API, declare the Animator('__lottie_ets') object and make sure the canvas layout is complete. This API can be used together with the lifecycle callback onReady() of the Canvas component.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
path string Yes Path of the animation resource file in the HAP file. The resource file must be in JSON format. Example: path: "common/lottie/data.json"
container object Yes Canvas drawing context. A CanvasRenderingContext2D object must be declared in advance.
render string Yes Rendering type. The value can only be "canvas".
loop boolean | number No If the value is of the Boolean type, this parameter indicates whether to repeat the animation cyclically after the animation ends. If the value is of the number type and is greater than or equal to 1, this parameter indicates the number of times the animation plays.
Default value: true
autoplay boolean No Whether to automatically play the animation
Default value: true
name string No Custom animation name. In later versions, the name can be used to reference and control the animation.
Default value: ""
initialSegment [number, number] No Start frame and end frame of the animation, respectively.

lottie.destroy

destroy(name: string): void

Destroys the animation. This API must be called when a page exits. This API can be used together with a lifecycle callback of the Canvas component, for example, onDisappear() and onPageHide().

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
name string Yes Name of the animation to destroy, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are destroyed.

Example

// xxx.ets
import lottie from '@ohos/lottieETS'

@Entry
@Component
struct Index {
  private controller: CanvasRenderingContext2D = new CanvasRenderingContext2D()
  private animateName: string = "animate"
  private animatePath: string = "common/lottie/data.json"
  private animateItem: any = null

  onPageHide(): void {
    console.log('onPageHide')
    lottie.destroy()
  }

  build() {
    Flex({ direction: FlexDirection.Column, alignItems: ItemAlign.Center, justifyContent: FlexAlign.Center }) {
      Canvas(this.controller)
      .width('30%')
      .height('20%')
      .backgroundColor('#0D9FFB')
      .onReady(() => {
        console.log('canvas onAppear');
        this.animateItem = lottie.loadAnimation({
          container: this.controller,
          renderer: 'canvas',
          loop: true,
          autoplay: true,
          name: this.animateName,
          path: this.animatePath,
        })
      })

      Animator('__lottie_ets') // declare Animator('__lottie_ets') when use lottie
      Button('load animation')
        .onClick(() => {
        if (this.animateItem != null) {
          this.animateItem.destroy()
          this.animateItem = null
        }
        this.animateItem = lottie.loadAnimation({
          container: this.controller,
          renderer: 'canvas',
          loop: true,
          autoplay: true,

lottie.play

play(name: string): void

Plays a specified animation.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
name string Yes Name of the animation to play, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are played.

Example

lottie.play(this.animateName)

lottie.pause

pause(name: string): void

Pauses a specified animation. The next time lottie.play() is called, the animation starts from the current frame.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
name string Yes Name of the animation to pause, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are paused.

Example

lottie.pause(this.animateName)

lottie.togglePause

togglePause(name: string): void

Pauses or plays a specified animation. This API is equivalent to the switching between lottie.play() and lottie.pause().

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
name string Yes Name of the target animation, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are paused or played.

Example

lottie.togglePause(this.animateName)

lottie.stop

stop(name: string): void

Stops the specified animation. The next time lottie.play() is called, the animation starts from the first frame.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
name string Yes Name of the target animation, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are stopped.

Example

lottie.stop(this.animateName)

lottie.setSpeed

setSpeed(speed: number, name: string): void

Sets the playback speed of the specified animation.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
speed number Yes Playback speed. The value is a floating-point number. If the value is greater than 0, the animation plays in forward direction. If the value is less than 0, the animation plays in reversed direction. If the value is 0, the animation is paused. If the value is 1.0 or -1.0, the animation plays at the normal speed.
name string Yes Name of the target animation, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are set.

Example

lottie.setSpeed(5, this.animateName)

lottie.setDirection

setDirection(direction: AnimationDirection, name: string): void

Sets the direction in which the specified animation plays.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
direction AnimationDirection Yes Direction in which the animation plays. 1: forwards; -1: backwards. When set to play backwards, the animation plays from the current playback progress to the first frame. When this setting is combined with loop being set to true, the animation plays backwards continuously. When the value of speed is less than 0, the animation also plays backwards.
AnimationDirection: 1 | -1
name string Yes Name of the target animation, which is the same as the name in the loadAnimation API. By default, all animations are set.

Example

lottie.setDirection(-1, this.animateName)

AnimationItem

Defines an AnimationItem object, which is returned by the loadAnimation API and has attributes and APIs. The attributes are described as follows:

Name Type Description
name string Animation name.
isLoaded boolean Whether the animation is loaded.
currentFrame number Frame that is being played. The default precision is a floating-point number greater than or equal to 0.0. After setSubframe(false) is called, the value is a positive integer without decimal points.
currentRawFrame number Number of frames that are being played. The precision is a floating point number greater than or equal to 0.0.
firstFrame number First frame of the animation segment that is being played.
totalFrames number Total number of frames in the animation segment that is being played.
frameRate number Frame rate (frame/s).
frameMult number Frame rate (frame/ms).
playSpeed number Playback speed. The value is a floating-point number. If the value is greater than 0, the animation plays forward. If the value is less than 0, the animation plays backward. If the value is 0, the animation is paused. If the value is 1.0 or -1.0, the animation plays at the normal speed.
playDirection number Playback direction.
1: forward.
-1: backward.
playCount number Number of times the animation plays.
isPaused boolean Whether the current animation is paused. The value true means that the animation is paused.
autoplay boolean Whether to automatically play the animation upon completion of the loading. The value false means that the play() API needs to be called to start playing.
loop boolean | number If the value is of the Boolean type, this parameter indicates whether to repeat the animation cyclically after the animation ends. If the value is of the number type and is greater than or equal to 1, this parameter indicates the number of times the animation plays.
renderer any Animation rendering object, which depends on the rendering type.
animationID string Animation ID.
timeCompleted number Number of frames that are played for an animation sequence. The value is affected by the setting of AnimationSegment and is the same as the value of totalFrames.
segmentPos number ID of the current animation segment. The value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 0.
isSubframeEnabled boolean Whether the precision of currentFrame is a floating point number.
segments AnimationSegment | AnimationSegment[] Current segment of the animation.
