## Introduction

A Solid library for rendering [lottie](https://lottiefiles.github.io/lottie-docs/) and [dotLottie](https://dotlottie.io) animations in the browser.

### What is dotLottie?

dotLottie is an open-source file format that aggregates one or more Lottie files and their associated resources into a single file. They are ZIP archives compressed with the Deflate compression method and carry the file extension of ".lottie".

[Learn more about dotLottie](https://dotlottie.io/).

## Installation

```bash
npm install @lottiefiles/dotlottie-solid
```

## Usage

```jsx
import { DotLottieSolid } from '@lottiefiles/dotlottie-solid';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <DotLottieSolid
      src="path/to/animation.lottie"
      loop
      autoplay
    />
  );
};
```

### DotLottieSolidProps

The `DotLottieSolidProps` extends the `HTMLCanvasElement` Props and accepts all the props that the `HTMLCanvasElement` accepts. In addition to that, it also accepts the following props:

#### RenderConfig

The `renderConfig` object accepts the following properties:

| Property name      | Type   | Required | Default                       | Description             |
| ------------------ | ------ | :------: | ----------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `devicePixelRatio` | number |          | window\.devicePixelRatio \| 1 | The device pixel ratio. |

## Custom Playback Controls

`DotLottieSolid` component makes it easy to build custom playback controls for the animation. It exposes a `dotLottieRefCallback` prop that can be used to get a reference to the [`dotLottie`](../web/README.md#documentation) web player instance. This instance can be used to control the playback of the animation using the methods exposed by the [`dotLottie`](../web/README.md#documentation) web player instance.

Here is an example:

```tsx
import { createSignal } from 'solid-js';
import { DotLottieSolid } from '@lottiefiles/dotlottie-solid';

const App = () => {
  const [dotLottie, setDotLottie] = createSignal();

  function play() {
    if (dotLottie()) {
      dotLottie().play();
    }
  }

  function pause() {
    if (dotLottie()) {
      dotLottie().pause();
    }
  }

  function stop() {
    if (dotLottie()) {
      dotLottie().stop();
    }
  }

  function seek() {
    if (dotLottie()) {
      dotLottie().setFrame(30);
    }
  }

  return (
    <DotLottieSolid
      src="path/to/animation.lottie"
      loop
      autoplay
      dotLottieRefCallback={setDotLottie}
    />
    <div>
      <button onClick={play}>Play</button>
      <button onClick={pause}>Pause</button>
      <button onClick={stop}>Stop</button>
      <button onClick={seek}>Seek to frame no. 30</button>
    </div>
  );
};
```

You can find the list of methods that can be used to control the playback of the animation [here](../web/README.md#documentation).

## Listening to Events

`DotLottieSolid` component can receive a `dotLottieRefCallback` prop that can be used to get a reference to the [`dotLottie`](../web/README.md#documentation) web player instance. This reference can be used to listen to player events emitted by the [`dotLottie`](../web/README.md#documentation) web instance.

Here is an example:

```tsx
import { createSignal, createEffect, onCleanup } from 'solid-js';
import { DotLottieSolid } from '@lottiefiles/dotlottie-solid';

const App = () => {
  const [dotLottie, setDotLottie] = createEffect();

  createEffect(() => {
    // This function will be called when the animation starts playing.
    function onPlay() {
      console.log('Animation start playing');
    }

    // This function will be called when the animation is paused.
    function onPause() {
      console.log('Animation paused');
    }

    // This function will be called when the animation is completed.
    function onComplete() {
      console.log('Animation completed');
    }

    function onFrameChange({currentFrame}) {
      console.log('Current frame: ', currentFrame);
    }

    // Listen to events emitted by the DotLottie instance when it is available.
    if (dotLottie()) {
      dotLottie().addEventListener('play', onPlay);
      dotLottie().addEventListener('pause', onPause);
      dotLottie().addEventListener('complete', onComplete);
      dotLottie().addEventListener('frame', onFrameChange);
    }
  });

  onCleanup(() => {
    if (dotLottie()) {
      dotLottie().removeEventListener('play', onPlay);
      dotLottie().removeEventListener('pause', onPause);
      dotLottie().removeEventListener('complete', onComplete);
      dotLottie().removeEventListener('frame', onFrameChange);
    }
  })

  return (
    <DotLottieSolid
      src="path/to/animation.lottie"
      loop
      autoplay
      dotLottieRefCallback={setDotLottie}
    />
  );
};
```

[dotLottie](../web/README.md#documentation) instance exposes multiple events that can be listened to. You can find the list of events [here](../web/README.md#documentation).
