## 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()**.

| Name      | Type                             | Mandatory  | Description                                      |
| -------- | ------------------------------- | ---- | ---------------------------------------- |
| name     | AnimationEventName              | Yes   | Animation event type. The available options are as follows:<br>'enterFrame', 'loopComplete', 'complete', 'segmentStart', 'destroy', 'config_ready', 'data_ready', 'DOMLoaded', 'error', 'data_failed', 'loaded_images'|
| callback | AnimationEventCallback&lt;T&gt; | Yes   | Custom callback.                               |

**Example**

  ```ts
  private callbackItem: any = function() {
      console.log("grunt loopComplete")
  }
  let delFunction = this.animateItem.addEventListener('loopComplete', this.animateName)

  // Delete the event listener.
  delFunction()
  ```


## AnimationItem.removeEventListener

removeEventListener&lt;T = any&gt;(name: AnimationEventName, callback?: AnimationEventCallback&lt;T&gt;): void

Removes an event listener.

**Parameters**

| Name      | Type                             | Mandatory  | Description                                      |

| callback | AnimationEventCallback&lt;T&gt; | No   | Custom callback. By default, the value is null, meaning that all callbacks of the event will be removed.           |

**Example**

  ```ts
  this.animateItem.removeEventListener('loopComplete', this.animateName)
  ```


## AnimationItem.triggerEvent

triggerEvent&lt;T = any&gt;(name: AnimationEventName, args: T): void

Directly triggers all configured callbacks of a specified event.

**Parameters**

| Name  | Type                | Mandatory  | Description       |
| ---- | ------------------ | ---- | --------- |
| name | AnimationEventName | Yes   | Animation event type. |
| args | any                | Yes   | Custom callback parameters.|

**Example**

  ```ts
  private triggerCallBack: any = function(item) {
      console.log("trigger loopComplete, name:" + item.name)
  }

  this.animateItem.addEventListener('loopComplete', this.triggerCallBack)
  this.animateItem.triggerEvent('loopComplete', this.animateItem)
  this.animateItem.removeEventListener('loopComplete', this.triggerCallBack)
