gsap works only once in click event

Everything works fine, but only once. How to solve that?

There are several problems I see:

1. When you click a second time, you call .reverse() on the timeline which obviously orients it in the backwards direction, but when you click again, you never play() to make the playhead go in the FORWARD direction again. So it's perpetually stuck in trying to make the playhead go backwards and when it hits the beginning, it can't go any further backwards. 
2. Every time you click, you're adding more and more and more tweens into that same timeline. That's definitely bad. You should just create the timeline initially paused, add your animations, and then on click, just play() or reverse().

Does that clear things up?

Is this a school project? Your code looks similar to the first question. Anyways, you should not put timeline creation code inside an event handler. 

 

const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
tl.to(".nav-icon", 0.7, { yPercent: -20, opacity: 0 })

      .to(".nav-bar", 0.5, { xPercent: 20, yPercent: 20 })
      .to(".nav-bar", 0.9, { xPercent: -120 })
      .to(".nav-bar", 0.9, { xPercent: 0, zIndex: -99 })
      .to(".nav-bar", 0.1, { xPercent: 0, yPercent: 0, zIndex: -99 })
      .to(".nav-icon", 0.7, { yPercent: 0, opacity: 1, zIndex: 99 })

      .to("#second-line", 0.7, { xPercent: -100, opacity: 0 }, "<")

      .to("#first-line", 0.7, { rotation: 45, y: 20, width: 40 }, "<")
      .to("#third-line", 0.7, { rotation: -45, y: -20, width: 40 }, "<");

const menuBtn = document.querySelector(".nav-icon");
let alfa = 0;
menuBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  menuBtn.classList.add("green");
  if (alfa == 0) {
    tl.play();
    alfa = 1;
  } else {
    tl.reverse();
    alfa = 0;
  }
});
