Trigger animation from ViewModel

[Genfood]

Is it possible to start the animation from the ViewModel?

You can create a trigger with a Command BindableProperty, bind the command and init the animation. Similar to https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/AlohaKit.Animations/blob/main/src/AlohaKit.Animations/Triggers/BeginAnimation.cs, but with one command. We can add it to the library.

Can you help us provide a small example?

We still don't understand what you are describing.

Cab you help us with an example, im also looking for a way to start an animation at the opening of a page without a trigger or a scroll.
