## lottie.loadAnimation

loadAnimation(

path: string, container: object, render: string, loop: boolean, autoplay: boolean, name: string ): AnimationItem

Loads an animation. Before calling this method, declare the **Animator('\__lottie\_ets')** object and check that the canvas layout is complete. This method can be used together with a lifecycle callback of the **Canvas** component, for example, **onAppear()** and **onPageShow()**.

- Parameters
  | Name            | Type                         | Mandatory  | Description                                      |

  | path           | string                      | Yes   | Path of the animation resource file in the HAP file. The resource file must be in JSON format. Example: **path: "common/lottie/data.json"**|
  | container      | object                      | Yes   | Canvas drawing context. A **CanvasRenderingContext2D** object must be declared in advance.|
  | render         | string                      | Yes   | Rendering type. The value can only be **"canvas"**.                       |
  | loop           | boolean \| number | No   | If the value is of the Boolean type, this parameter indicates whether to repeat the animation cyclically after the animation ends; the default value is **true**. If the value is of the number type and is greater than or equal to 1, this parameter indicates the number of times the animation plays.|
  | autoplay       | boolean                     | No   | Whether to automatically play the animation. The default value is **true**.                       |
  | name           | string                      | No   | Custom animation name. In later versions, the name can be used to reference and control the animation. The default value is null.       |
  | initialSegment | [number, number]       | No   | Start frame and end frame of the animation, respectively.                |


## lottie.destroy

destroy(name: string): void

Destroys the animation. This method must be called when a page exits. This method can be used together with a lifecycle callback of the **Canvas** component, for example, **onDisappear()** and **onPageHide()**.
