AFrame Animation Start\End Condition

I'm trying to get the cylinder to begin and pause rotating on mouse click but I can only get it to begin, not stop. I'm not sure what else would work? When I add the end condition it stops working all together. My question is, how can I get the begin and end conditions to be the same input?

I would threw the logic to a seperate a-frame component.

Having a setup like this:

<a-cylinder animation-controller
            animation="resumeEvents: start; pauseEvents: pause">
</a-cylinder>

When clicked - switch a boolean, and depending on the value start or stop the animation:

 <script src="https://aframe.io/releases/1.3.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
<script>
  AFRAME.registerComponent("animation-controller", {
    init: function() {
      this.running = false
      this.el.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
        if (!this.running) {
          this.el.emit("start") // animation not running - start it
        } else {
          this.el.emit("pause") // animation running - stop it
        }
        this.running = !this.running // flip the flag
      })
    }
  })
</script>
    <a-scene cursor="rayOrigin: mouse">
      <a-cylinder animation-controller position="0 1 -3" color="red"
                  animation="property: rotation; to: 0 0 360; dur:1000; loop: true; resumeEvents: start; pauseEvents: pause">
      </a-cylinder>     
    </a-scene>

Original answer - for aframe < 1.0.0

I would threw the logic to a seperate a-frame component.

Having a setup like this:

<a-cylinder anim-controller>
  <a-animation begin="start" end="stop" (...)></a-animation>
</a-cylinder>

When clicked - switch a boolean, and depending on the value start or stop the animation:

AFRAME.registerComponent("anim-controller", {
  init: function() {
    this.running = false
    this.animComp = document.querySelector("a-animation")
    this.el.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
      if (!this.running) {
        this.animComp.emit("start") // animation not running - start it
      } else {
        this.animComp.emit("stop") // animation running - stop it
      }
      this.running = !this.running // flip the flag
    })
  }
})

Simple - if the animation is running - start it. Otherwise stop it.

Fiddle here.
