Rive Overview

Rive is a real-time interactive design and animation tool that helps teams create and run interactive animations anywhere. Designers and developers use our collaborative editor to create motion graphics that respond to different states and user inputs. Our lightweight open-source runtime libraries allow them to load their animations into apps, games, and websites.

Examples

Check out the example/ folder to run an example application using the Rive React Native runtime. It runs on the local build of this library, and showcases a number of ways to use the Rive component and useRef hook pattern:

• Setting a Rive file via a URL, or asset in the Android/iOS projects
• Displaying single or multiple animations / artboards on one component
• Setting up and maniuplating a state machine via inputs
• ...and more!

Steps:

• Run yarn bootstrap
• cd example
• yarn expo run:android or yarn expo run:ios

iOS:

• You may need to run pod install (first time) or pod update RiveRuntime (updates to the underlying Rive iOS runtime) in the example/iOS folder to get the runtime installed or updated
