lottie-vuejs is currently in development! Use in production environment at your own risk

lottie-vuejs is a simple VueJS wrapper for lottie-web. It encompasses critical lottie-web functionality into an vue component plugin. Utilize lottie-vuejs to quickly and almost effortlessly bring lottie functionality into your VueJS project.

Why Lottie?

Lottie is a mobile library for Web, and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively!

Designers can create and ship beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating it by hand. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words so here are 13,000:

Flexible After Effects features

Lottie supports solids, shape layers, masks, alpha mattes, trim paths, and dash patterns.

Manipulate your animation any way you like

You can go forward, backward, and most importantly you can program your animation to respond to any interaction.

Small file sizes

Bundle vector animations within your app without having to worry about multiple dimensions or large file sizes. Alternatively, you can decouple animation files from your app’s code entirely by loading them from a JSON API.
