Import the library and please follow Basic Usage, you can use library on any NPM-based project such as React, Vue and Svelte.

  interface IntrinsicElements {
    "lottie-player": any;

</lottie-player>

With SSR Framework

We should be careful when using on SSR frameworks such as NextJS, NuxtJS and Svelte, as it means the library must to be rendered on browser/client side.

• NextJS

import { useEffect } from "react";

export default function Home() {
  // ...

  useEffect(() => {
    import("@thorvg/lottie-player");
  });

  // ...
}

• NuxtJS

<template>
  {/* ... */}
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    mounted() {
      import("@thorvg/lottie-player");
    }
  }
</script>

• Svelte

<script>
  import { onMount } from 'svelte';

  onMount(async () => {
    await import('@thorvg/lottie-player');
  });
</script>

API

Properties

| Property | Description | Type | Default Value | Required | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | src | A graphic resource to play. It could be an internal/external URL or JSON string for Lottie. | string | undefined | Y | | speed | Animation speed (for Lottie) | number | 1 | N | | autoplay | When set to true, automatically plays the animation on loading it (for Lottie) | boolean | false | N | | count | Number of times to loop the animation | number | undefined | N | | loop | When set to true, loops the animation. The count property defines the number of times to loop the animation. Setting the count property to 0 and setting the loop to true, loops the animation indefinitely. | boolean | false | N | | direction | Direction of the animation. Set to 1 to play the animation forward or set to -1 to play it backward. | number (1 or -1) | 1 | N | | mode | Play mode. Setting the mode to PlayMode.Bounce plays the animation in an indefinite cycle, forwards and then backwards. | PlayMode | PlayMode.Normal | N | | intermission | Duration (in milliseconds) to pause before playing each cycle in a looped animation. Set this parameter to 0 (no pause) or any positive number. | number | 1 | N |

const player = document.querySelector('lottie-player');
