Get Player instance

To call methods on the instance of the Player component. You may get a reference to the component and call the methods on ref.current. That's a solid way of doing a document.getElementById(); You may then use this ref i.e.: player in the example below to call methods that are described in this documentation.

import { createSignal, createEffect } from 'solid-js';
import { Player } from 'lottie-solid';

export default function App() {
  const [playerRef, setPlayerRef] = createSignal<HTMLDivElement>();

  return (
    <Player
      ref={setPlayerRef} // set the ref to your component
      loop
      src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_XZ3pkn.json"
      style={{ height: '300px', width: '300px' }}
    />
  );
}

Get Lottie instance

The lottieRef prop returns the Lottie instance which you can use to set data and call methods as described in the bodymovin documentation.

import { createSignal, createEffect } from 'solid-js';
import { Player, AnimationItem } from 'lottie-solid';

export default function App() {
  const [lottieRef, setLottieRef] = createSignal<AnimationItem>();

  // example of calling a method on the lottie instance
  // this will pause the animation after 1 second
  createEffect(() => {
    const lottie = lottieRef();
    if (lottie) {
      setTimeout(() => lottie.pause(), 1000);
    }
  });
  
  return (
    <Player
      lottieRef={setLottieRef} // the lottie instance is returned in the argument of this prop. set it to your local state
      loop
      src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_XZ3pkn.json"
      style={{ height: '300px', width: '300px' }}
    />
  );
}

Listening for events

import { createSignal, createEffect } from 'solid-js';
import { Player, AnimationItem } from 'lottie-solid';

export default function App() {
  const [lottieRef, setLottieRef] = createSignal<AnimationItem>();


  const doSomething = () => {
    lottieRef()?.play(); // make use of the lottie instance and call methods
  }
  
  return (
    <Player
      onEvent={(event) => {
        // check event type and do something
        if (event === 'load') {
          this.doSomething();
        }
      }}
      lottieRef={setLottieRef}
      loop
      src="https://assets3.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_XZ3pkn.json"
