How to add Lottie Player to a Datalife Engine website

Embed Lottie Player on Datalife Engine

01

Create a Lottie Player plugin for Datalife Engine on Common Ninja

First, create a Datalife Engine Lottie Player plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Lottie Player and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Lottie Player plugin

When you're done creating the Lottie Player plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Lottie Player Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Lottie Player plugin to your Datalife Engine website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Datalife Engine website.

04

Paste the code to your Datalife Engine website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Datalife Engine website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Datalife Engine’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Lottie Player Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Lottie Player plugin on your Datalife Engine website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Lottie Player plugin on your Datalife Engine plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Datalife Engine website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Lottie Player plugin to your Datalife Engine website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Datalife Engine website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Lottie Player widget when you want high quality animations on your site without slowing it down. Lottie files are lightweight, scalable, and crisp on all devices, making them ideal for micro interactions, illustrated scenes, and animated icons. This widget lets you embed and control those animations with options for looping, triggering, and styling. It is perfect for breathing life into hero sections, onboarding flows, loading states, or success messages. Engaging motion can draw attention to important elements and explain ideas more intuitively than static images. At the same time, the efficient format keeps performance strong, which is important for both user experience and search visibility.
