Docs Request For New Plugins

[Praney Behl]

Hi Jack,

 

I was wondering if there are any docs and if possible, usage examples for the 2 new plugins EndArrayPlugin and CSSTransformPlugin.

 

Thanks,

Praney

What's CSSTransformPlugin? Never heard of that one before. 

 

As for EndArray, that's basically for tweening numbers in an array, like:

var a = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
TweenLite.to(a, 1, {endArray:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], onUpdate:function() {
    console.log(a);
}});

That'll tween the various elements to those values over the course of 1 second.

Sorry Jack, I meant CSSTransform utility. I see it has been updated and I was wondering if there was some proper documentation for its use.

CSSTransform hasn't even been released yet, and it will likely be for Club GreenSock members only. Where are you seeing an update? The minified version that was silently dropped into the bonus zip? 

 

CSSTransform hasn't been documented yet, partially because the API isn't firm enough yet. Club members are welcome to kick the tires a bit and provide feedback, but that probably won't be officially released for another month. Again, only a few people have even been told about its existence at this point.

 

Are you good with EndArrayPlugin now at least?

[Praney Behl]

Thanks Jack its all good. I'll wait till next month for its release.

Has this been documented? What's the utility designed to do, anyways?

 

Just curious

Don't think it's yet been documented, been waiting for a long time now

Sorry, folks. I have been working for weeks on CSSTransform actually. It's considered "experimental", that's why there are no docs yet. We're still trying to nail down the API. It's solving a very complex problem, and I'm working on adding SVG support. I'm excited about what this could mean for many apps, as I don't think there are any tools out there yet that solve these problems, but it's definitely a complex issue and it's taking a while to work around various browser quirks. I'm pretty confident I'll get it pretty soon, but again, it's "experimental" at this point. I'm reluctant to even explain what it does fully yet because I'm still formulating how to best do that. Thanks for your patience.

Hey Jack,

 

Any updates on the CSSTransform plugin. Its been an year so I thought I'll ask, API methods and some docs will be awesome. Also will be great to have the un-minified version in the Business bundle.

 

Cheers.

Sorry, Praney, at this point we're not sure we'll release that tool at all. It's a pretty serious undertaking, especially from a support standpoint, and I'm not sure demand would be super high for it anyway. It's definitely a lifesaver in certain circumstances, but I worry that it's a little too geeky for most. We're focusing our resources on other things that would be more likely to appeal to more of our customers.
