# defaultAnimation

The default animation resource.

## Declaration

```swift
var defaultAnimation: AnimationResource? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The component looks up the resource by key if defaultKey is non-nil and the library contains an animation that the key identifies. Otherwise, the component returns the first entry in the library.
