ae-export-curves
Export After Effects curves as JSON
## Features
- Create small json objects containing curves infos from After Effect properties
- Supports bezier / hold / linear keyframe types
- Easily read these curves client-side with [ae-read-curves](https://github.com/pqml/ae-read-curves)
- :warning: **Doesn't support color property type & spatial properties like position / curve path**
## Requirements
- Node >= 8
- After Effects **in English**
- only tested with CC 2018, but may works with previous versions
## Example
```js
const curves = require('ae-export-curves')
// The function will read the current opened project
// and exports chosen property curves
curves({
// Choose the composition you want to export
composition: 'Comp 1',
// You can set a decimal precision
precision: 5,
properties: {
// First item of the array is the layer you want to access to
// then, just chain sub-properties until you reach the one you want to export
rotation: ['Shape Layer 1', 'Transform', 'Rotation'],
// Position is a spatial property. This is not support right now but you can
// split dimensions in After Effects and use X Position / Y Position
translateX: ['Shape Layer 1', 'Transform', 'X Position'],
// For multi-dimensional properties, you must specify which dimension
// you want to collect by specify an index at last item of the array
scaleX: ['Shape Layer 1', 'Transform', 'Scale', 0],
}
})
.then(json => console.log(json))
.catch(err => console.log(err))
```
