Lottie for Flutter
Lottie is a mobile library for Android and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile!
This repository is an unofficial conversion of the Lottie-android library in pure Dart.
It works on Android, iOS, macOS, linux, windows and web.
Usage
Simple animation
This example shows how to display a Lottie animation in the simplest way.
The Lottie
widget will load the json file and run the animation indefinitely.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:lottie/lottie.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: ListView(
children: [
// Load a Lottie file from your assets
Lottie.asset('assets/LottieLogo1.json'),
// Load a Lottie file from a remote url
Lottie.network(
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xvrh/lottie-flutter/master/example/assets/Mobilo/A.json'),
// Load an animation and its images from a zip file
Lottie.asset('assets/lottiefiles/angel.zip'),
],
),
),
);
}
}
AnimationController
Specify a custom This example shows how to take full control over the animation by providing your own AnimationController
.
With a custom AnimationController
you have a rich API to play the animation in various ways: start and stop the animation when you want,
play forward or backward, loop between specifics points...
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:lottie/lottie.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
late final AnimationController _controller;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_controller = AnimationController(vsync: this);
}
@override
void dispose() {
_controller.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: ListView(
children: [
Lottie.asset(
'assets/LottieLogo1.json',
controller: _controller,
onLoaded: (composition) {
// Configure the AnimationController with the duration of the
// Lottie file and start the animation.
_controller
..duration = composition.duration
..forward();
},
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
See this file for a more comprehensive example.
Control the size of the Widget
The Lottie
widget takes the same arguments and have the same behavior as the Image
widget
in term of controlling its size.
Lottie.asset(
'assets/LottieLogo1.json',
width: 200,
height: 200,
fit: BoxFit.fill,
)
width
and height
are optionals and fallback on the size imposed by the parent or on the intrinsic size of the lottie
animation.
Custom loading
The Lottie
widget has several convenient constructors (Lottie.asset
, Lottie.network
, Lottie.memory
) to load, parse and
cache automatically the json file.
Sometime you may prefer to have full control over the loading of the file. Use LottieComposition.fromByteData
to
parse the file from a list of bytes.
This example shows how to load and parse a Lottie composition from a json file.
class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}
class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
late final Future<LottieComposition> _composition;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_composition = _loadComposition();
}
Future<LottieComposition> _loadComposition() async {
var assetData = await rootBundle.load('assets/LottieLogo1.json');
return await LottieComposition.fromByteData(assetData);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return FutureBuilder<LottieComposition>(
future: _composition,
builder: (context, snapshot) {
var composition = snapshot.data;
if (composition != null) {
return Lottie(composition: composition);
} else {
return Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
}
},
);
}
}
Custom drawing
This example goes low level and shows you how to draw a LottieComposition
on a custom Canvas at a specific frame in
a specific position and size.
class CustomDrawer extends StatelessWidget {
final LottieComposition composition;
const CustomDrawer(this.composition, {Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return CustomPaint(
painter: _Painter(composition),
size: Size(400, 400),
);
}
}
class _Painter extends CustomPainter {
final LottieDrawable drawable;
_Painter(LottieComposition composition)
: drawable = LottieDrawable(composition);
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
var frameCount = 40;
var columns = 10;
for (var i = 0; i < frameCount; i++) {
var destRect = Offset(i % columns * 50.0, i ~/ 10 * 80.0) & (size / 5);
drawable
..setProgress(i / frameCount)
..draw(canvas, destRect);
}
}
@override
bool shouldRepaint(CustomPainter oldDelegate) {
return true;
}
}
Modify properties at runtime
This example shows how to modify some properties of the animation at runtime. Here we change the text,
the color, the opacity and the position of some layers.
For each ValueDelegate
we can either provide a static value
or a callback
to compute a value for a each frame.
class _Animation extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Lottie.asset(
'assets/Tests/Shapes.json',
delegates: LottieDelegates(
text: (initialText) => '**$initialText**',
values: [
ValueDelegate.color(
const ['Shape Layer 1', 'Rectangle', 'Fill 1'],
value: Colors.red,
),
ValueDelegate.opacity(
const ['Shape Layer 1', 'Rectangle'],
callback: (frameInfo) => (frameInfo.overallProgress * 100).round(),
),
ValueDelegate.position(
const ['Shape Layer 1', 'Rectangle', '**'],
relative: Offset(100, 200),
),
],
),
);
}
}
Limitations
This port supports the same feature set as Lottie Android.
Flutter Web
Run the app with flutter run -d chrome --web-renderer canvaskit
