I'm trying to get a Lottie animation working with Vue by using vue-lottie, and I'm following the example code used in the repo, but when I try to run the code I see the following error in the console:

enter image description here

[Vue warn]: Error in mounted hook: "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"

After a lot of Googling, I found a solution described here:

The solution:

Instead of importing the animation data like this (as is shown in the example):

import * as animationData from '../path/to/the/animationData.json'

...instead import it like this:

import animationData from '../path/to/the/animationData.json'

So, a minimal working example of using vue-lottie in your own code would look like this:

<template>
  <div>
    <Lottie :options="animationOptions" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Lottie from 'vue-lottie/src/lottie.vue'
import animationData from '../path/to/your/animation.json'
export default {
  components: {
    Lottie
  },
  data: function () {
    return {
      animationOptions: {
        animationData: animationData
      }
    }
  }
}
</script>
