 # LottieSharp

 |--|--|
 
-**News**
+LottieSharp is built for WPF applications only. It targets .NET 6  and is built using [SkiaSharp](https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp) and [Skottie](https://skia.org/docs/user/modules/skottie/).
+
+### What can I do with LottieSharp?
+You can load [lottie animations](https://lottiefiles.com/) and play them in your applications, creating beautiful UIs.
+
+![demo in action](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ascora/LottieSharp/develop/Images/demo.gif "Demo in Action")
+
+PS.: Screen cast by: http://recordit.co/ 
+
+### How to start?
+
+
+Add LottieSharp to your application:
+
+```PM> Install-Package LottieSharp -Version 2.0.0```
+
+Reference LottieSharp in your XAML Window/Page/UserControl:
+
+```xmlns:lottie="clr-namespace:LottieSharp.WPF;assembly=LottieSharp.WPF"```
+
+Add a LottieAnimationView control. Set properties as you wish:
+```
+<lottie:LottieAnimationView
+    Width="200"
+    Height="300"
+    HorizontalAlignment="Center"
+    VerticalAlignment="Center"
+    AutoPlay="True"
+    FileName="{Binding Path=SelectedAsset.FilePath}"
+    RepeatCount="-1" />
+```
+
+
+### Properties, Methods and Events
+
+| Properties  | Values      | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| AutoPlay    | True, False | When true, the animation file is automatically played and it is loaded |
+| FileName    | string      | Path to the Lottie file. This property can be used in databind (see demo app) |
+| RepeatCount | -1..N       | How many times the animation will repeat after once played. The default is 0, meaning it doesn't repeat. -1 means it repeats forever. |
+| IsPlaying   | True, False | Represents the current aninaation status. |
+
+
+| Events | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| EventHandler OnStop | It's triggered when animation stops, however if RepeatCount is forever this event isn't triggered. |
+
+
+| Methods | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| PlayAnimation() | Starts the animation |
+| StopAnimation() | Stops the animation |
+
+### Next steps
+This is the first release with basic features but very functional. For next releases I want to:
+- Improve player mechanism
+- Add reverse mode
+
+
+### Questions?
+>### Why Lottie?
+>Lottie enables us to easily include beautiful and performant vector animations in applications. Since Lottie animations are exported as JSON files, file sizes remain >small and animations can easily be resized and looped with without losing quality. So, no more heavy videos or gifs!
+
+>### Where do I find lottie animations?
+>There are many **FREE** files you can use. Visit [LottieFiles](https://lottiefiles.com/) website, there are a huge community for lottie!
+
+>### How do I create my own animations?
+> 1. Adober effects, see [this post](https://uxdesign.cc/creating-lottie-animations-with-after-effects-e5124feb8a9c)
+> 2. [Framer](https://www.framer.com/plugins/lottie/)
+> 3. And others... see [this post](https://github.com/LottieFiles/awesome-lottie)

-Watch this repository, a new release is coming!
