# init(dictionaryLiteral:automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation:)

Creates an animation library from a variadic list of key-value pairs

## Declaration

```swift
init(dictionaryLiteral elements: (String, AnimationResource)..., automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `elements`: A list of key-value pairs that make up the dictionary. Each key is a unique animation name, and each value is an animation resource.
- `automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation`: Whether to automatically play the default animation when the entity is added to a scene and enabled. When true, the animation system plays the default animation automatically. When false, animations require manual playback. See doc://com.apple.RealityKit/documentation/RealityKit/AnimationLibraryComponent/automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation for details.

## Discussion

Discussion Use the ExpressibleByDictionaryLiteral initializer by directly assigning the library to a dictionary literal.
