LottieGen is a tool for generating C#, C++, and other outputs from Lottie / Bodymovin JSON files. LottieGen is built as a .NET Core global tool, which means it will run anywhere .NET Core is available, including Linux and Mac.
LottieGen requires .NET Core 3.1 SDK or later.
The following commands are examples only; adjust the paths and versions as necessary.
The latest release version can be installed from NuGet:
dotnet tool install -g LottieGen
A specific release version can be installed from NuGet:
dotnet tool install -g LottieGen --version 6.1.0
CI builds can be installed from MyGet:
dotnet tool install -g LottieGen --add-source https://dotnet.myget.org/F/uwpcommunitytoolkit/api/v3/index.json --version 7.0.0-build.2
See the list of CI builds available on the LottieGen MyGet page. Note that these builds may not be as stable as the official release builds.
Local builds can be installed from your bin\nupkg directory:
dotnet tool install -g LottieGen --add-source f:\GitHub\Lottie-Windows\bin\nupkg --version 7.0.0-build.18.g31523b44e4
Local builds can also be run directly without installing, see below.
dotnet tool update -g LottieGen
dotnet tool uninstall -g LottieGen
Local builds can be run directly without installing as a .NET core global tool. Just install .NET Core 3.1, build the LottieGen.sln solution and run the output.
f:\GitHub\Lottie-Windows\LottieGen\bin\AnyCpu\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\lottiegen.exe
And of course you can copy LottieGen to a directory and run directly without installing it, for example:
copy f:\Github\Lottie-Windows\LottieGen\bin\AnyCpu\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\* d:\mybuildtools
All of the help for LottieGen is built into the tool.
