Wagtail Lottie
Wagtail + Lottie is a Wagtail package for playing Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin.
Usage
- Export your animation from Adobe After Effect with Bodymovin.
- Compress the folder in zip format.
- Create a Lottie animation from Wagtail and add this zip file.
Can be used like this at Wagtail page level :
from wagtail_lottie.models import LottieAnimation
from wagtail_lottie.widgets import LottieAnimationChooser
from wagtail_lottie.blocks import LottieAnimationChooserBlock
class HomePage(Page):
lottie_animation_foreign_key = models.ForeignKey(LottieAnimation, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
lottie_animation_stream_field = StreamField([
('lottie_animation_block', LottieAnimationChooserBlock()),
('rich_text', blocks.RichTextBlock())
])
content_panels = [
FieldPanel('lottie_animation_foreign_key', widget=LottieAnimationChooser),
StreamFieldPanel('lottie_animation_stream_field')
]And rendered this way at html level :
<!-- For ForeignKey -->
{% include 'wagtail_lottie/lottie_animation.html' with value=page.lottie_animation_foreign_key %}
<!-- For StreamField -->
{% for block in page.lottie_animation_stream_field %}
{% include_block block %}
{% endfor %}
