Install Player-animator%2c — Version 0.9.9 Or Later. ((exclusive))

Here is the solution for the installation, followed by a paper discussing the topic.

Upgrading from an Older Version

If you currently have 0.8.5 or 0.9.0 installed, follow these steps to migrate safely:

1. Backup your project (commit changes to Git).
2. Read the changelog (available on GitHub under releases).
3. Update the version:

   npm install player-animator@0.9.9
   

4. Test your animations. The breaking changes between 0.8.x and 0.9.9 primarily affect event listener naming (on('play') vs onPlay). Refer to the migration guide.

CDN for Browser (no build tools)

<script type="importmap">
"imports": 
      "player-animator": "https://unpkg.com/player-animator@0.9.9/dist/index.esm.js"
</script>
<script type="module">
import Player from 'player-animator';
const player = new Player( duration: 60 );
</script>

Upgrading from an older version (<0.9.9)

If you have a version older than 0.9.9, breaking changes may exist. To upgrade: install player-animator%2C version 0.9.9 or later.

npm install player-animator@latest

Then consult the changelog (replace with actual repo) for migration notes.
Key changes in 0.9.9+ typically include:

• Improved timeline accuracy
• Better TypeScript support
• New onComplete callback signature
• Removed deprecated methods (e.g., stop() replaced by pause() + seek(0))

Using Version 0.9.9+ in Popular Frameworks

Basic usage example (v0.9.9+)

import PlayerAnimator from 'player-animator';
// Create instance
const player = new PlayerAnimator(
duration: 2000,          // 2 seconds
loop: false,
easing: t => t,          // linear
onUpdate: (progress) => 
// progress = 0..1
document.getElementById('box').style.transform = translateX($progress * 200px);
,
onComplete: () => console.log('Animation finished'),
onPlay: () => console.log('Started'),
onPause: () => console.log('Paused')
);
// Control
player.play();
setTimeout(() => player.pause(), 500);
setTimeout(() => player.resume(), 1000);

2. Check in browser console

import PlayerAnimator from 'player-animator';
console.log(PlayerAnimator.version); // "0.9.9" or higher

If you are using the CDN, type in the console:

console.log(window.PlayerAnimator.version);

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

We will cover three primary scenarios: using a package manager (recommended), direct CDN for prototyping, and manual download.

React 18+

import  useEffect, useRef  from 'react';
import  PlayerAnimator  from 'player-animator';
function AnimatedCharacter() 
const canvasRef = useRef(null);
useEffect(() => 
const animator = new PlayerAnimator(
container: canvasRef.current,
versionRequirement: '0.9.9' // built-in check
);
animator.loadSpriteSheet('/character.png',  frameSize:  width: 64, height: 64  );
animator.play('idle'); Here is the solution for the installation, followed
return () => animator.destroy();

, []);
return <canvas ref=canvasRef />;
