Setting Up

This project uses mkdocs to generate the HTML pages from the documentation, and pip to install dependencies.

It's recommended you install dependencies on some kind of virtual environment.

Once you have your environment, you can run

pip install requirements.txt

or

make install_dependencies

Building the Docs

You can use

make

To build the static HTML.

During development, you might want to use

make docs_serve

Which spins up a local server to host the docs and automatically reloads when done

Finding Unknown Features

You can run ./tools/unknown_features.js and pass file names as arguments and it will print a summary of unknown features in the given files.

Note that it requires modern versions of node and the compiled schema.

Example with setup:

# Build the schema
make lottie.schema.json

# Install newer node on python virtualenv
pip install nodeenv
nodeenv -p

# Run on several files
./tools/unknown_features.js /my/lotties/*.json
