Lottie for React Native, iOS, and Android

Lottie component for React Native (iOS and Android)

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!

For the first time, designers can create and ship beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating it by hand.

Installing (React Native >= 0.60.0)

Install lottie-react-native (latest) and lottie-ios (3.0.3):

yarn add lottie-react-native
yarn add lottie-ios@3.0.3

npm i --save lottie-react-native
npm i --save lottie-ios@3.0.3

Go to your ios folder and run:

pod install

_ IMPORTANT _

If you have issues linking your iOS project check out this StackOverflow thread on how to fix it.

If your app crashes on Android, means auto linking didn't work. You will need to make the following changes:

android/app/src/main/java//MainApplication.java

add import com.airbnb.android.react.lottie.LottiePackage; on the imports section
add packages.add(new LottiePackage()); in List<ReactPackage> getPackages();

android/app/build.gradle

add implementation project(':lottie-react-native') in the dependencies block

android/settings.gradle

add:

include ':lottie-react-native'
project(':lottie-react-native').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/lottie-react-native/src/android')

Installing (React Native == 0.59.x)

Install lottie-react-native (latest) and lottie-ios (3.0.3):

yarn add lottie-react-native
yarn add lottie-ios@3.0.3

npm i --save lottie-react-native
npm i --save lottie-ios@3.0.3

Use react-native link to add the library to your project:

react-native link lottie-ios
react-native link lottie-react-native

Go to your ios folder and run:

pod install

_ IMPORTANT _

If you have issues with your iOS project, open the Xcode project configuration and add the Lottie.framework as Embedded Binaries.

Apps that use static Xcode project linking need to set iOS deployment version to iOS 12 or switch to CocoaPods-based linking (using frameworks) or downgrade lottie-react-native to version 2.6.1.

Installing (React Native <= 0.58.x)

Install lottie-react-native (2.5.11) and lottie-ios (2.5.3):

yarn add lottie-react-native@2.5.11
yarn add lottie-ios@2.5.3

npm i --save lottie-react-native@2.5.11
npm i --save lottie-ios@2.5.3

Use react-native link to add the library to your project:

react-native link lottie-ios
react-native link lottie-react-native

Go to your ios folder and run:

pod install

_ IMPORTANT _

If you have issues with your iOS project, open the Xcode project configuration and add the Lottie.framework as Embedded Binaries.

Usage

(If you are using TypeScript, please read this first)

LottieView can be used in a declarative way:

import React from 'react';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';

export default class BasicExample extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <LottieView source={require('./animation.json')} autoPlay loop />;
  }
}

Additionally, there is an imperative API which is sometimes simpler.

import React from 'react';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';

export default class BasicExample extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.animation.play();
    // Or set a specific startFrame and endFrame with:
    this.animation.play(30, 120);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <LottieView
        ref={animation => {
          this.animation = animation;
        }}
        source={require('../path/to/animation.json')}
      />
    );
  }
}

Lottie's animation progress can be controlled with an Animated value:

import React from 'react';
import { Animated, Easing } from 'react-native';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';

export default class BasicExample extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      progress: new Animated.Value(0),
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    Animated.timing(this.state.progress, {
      toValue: 1,
      duration: 5000,
      easing: Easing.linear,
    }).start();
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <LottieView source={require('../path/to/animation.json')} progress={this.state.progress} />
    );
  }
}

API

You can find the full list of props and methods available in our API document. These are the most common ones:

Prop	Description	Default
`source`	Mandatory - The source of animation. Can be referenced as a local asset by a string, or remotely with an object with a `uri` property, or it can be an actual JS object of an animation, obtained (for example) with something like `require('../path/to/animation.json')`.	None
`style`	Style attributes for the view, as expected in a standard `View`.	The `aspectRatio` exported by Bodymovin will be set. Also the `width` if you haven't provided a `width` or `height`
`loop`	A boolean flag indicating whether or not the animation should loop.	`true`
`autoPlay`	A boolean flag indicating whether or not the animation should start automatically when mounted. This only affects the imperative API.	`false`
