Prerequisites
Technical knowledge needed to build Lottie Creator Plugins.
Here's what you need to know to start building plugins.
Technical knowledge needed
Lottie Creator plugins are web applications that run inside Lottie Creator. You should be comfortable with:
HTML and CSS: Your plugin's UI is standard web content rendered in an iframe
JavaScript: Your plugin logic is written in JavaScript
Good to know
TypeScript: Lottie Creator provides TypeScript types for the Creator API.
React, Vue, etc.:
You can use any web framework or build process to create complex user interfaces — as long as the output bundles into the required format (a JavaScript file for plugin logic and an HTML file for the UI).
We provide a React starter template with Vite to help you get started quickly.
Basic animation concepts: Familiarity with layers, keyframes, and easing will help you work with the Lottie Creator API
