Hey Daryl and welcome to the GreenSock forums. 

 

Our GSAP 3 migration guide is perfect for converting code from v2 to v3:

Here's how I'd write your animateIn function for example:

function animateIn(e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
  gsap.to(nav, { // no Max/Lite
    duration: 1.3, // duration in vars parameter
    width: 300, // no need for "" around numerical values unless you need to add units
    height: 300,
    borderTopLeftRadius: "30% 29%",
    borderTopRightRadius: "70% 26%",
    borderBottomRightRadius: "29% 74%",
    borderBottomLeftRadius: "71%",
    ease: "elastic" // use the condensed form for strings
  });

  gsap.to("nav ul", {
    duration: 0.4
    opacity: 1,
    ease: "none"
  }).delay(0.45);
}

Side note: none of the properties besides opacity are performant to animate. If you want it to animate more performantly you might consider using SVG and MorphSVGPlugin instead.

Before that block of code, I still need to add useRef and useEffects?

You need to use refs and effects when appropriate. GSAP 3 doesn't magically remove the need for those.

Just now, daryl.codes said:

import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import { gsap ,Power3 } from "gsap";

let nav = useRef(null)

useEffect(() => {
    animateIn(e)
}, [])

let nav = document.getElementById("navigation");
nav.addEventListener("click", animateIn);

function animateIn(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    gsap.to(nav, { // no Max/Lite
      duration: 1.3, // duration in vars parameter
      width: 300, // no need for "" around numerical values unless you need to add units
      height: 300,
      borderTopLeftRadius: "30% 29%",
      borderTopRightRadius: "70% 26%",
      borderBottomRightRadius: "29% 74%",
      borderBottomLeftRadius: "71%",
      ease: "elastic" // use the condensed form for strings
    });
 
    gsap.to(nav, {
      duration: 0.4,
      opacity: 1,
      ease: "none"
    }).delay(0.45);
  }

function animateOut() {
    gsap.to(nav, {
        duration: 0.5,
        width: 30,
        height: 30,
        borderTopLeftRadius: "10%",
        borderTopRightRadius: "10%",
        borderBottomRightRadius: "10%",
        borderBottomLeftRadius: "10%",
        ease: "Power2"
    });

    gsap.to(nav, {
        duration: 0.2,
        opacity: 0,
        ease: "Linear"
    });
}

window.addEventListener("click", function() {
    //Hide the menus if visible
    animateOut();
});

Hello, Zach, thanks for the help, Im getting a useeffect error.

[ZachSaucier]

Hey Daryl. Can you please create a minimal demo of the issue using CodePen, StackBlitz, or CodeSandbox? It's really hard for us to debug without seeing the error.
