Creating a progress bar...

Without a minimal demo, it's very difficult to troubleshoot; the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, a 3rd party script, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or Stackblitz that illustrates the issue? 

 

Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored <div> elements and the GSAP code is best. See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependancies as possible. Start minimal and then incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer.

 

 

Here it is

 

The error I said is on the Codepen too:

Hi, I'm trying the quoted code.

function progressBarUpdate(tween) {
  console.log(tween.progress())
}

const tl = gsap.timeline({
  delay: 1,
  onUpdate: progressBarUpdate,
});
tl
  .add(animate())
  .add(reveal(), 'reveal')
  .add(start())

 

The timeline itself works perfectly. I just added onUpdate: progressBarUpdate and the function, and I get this error:

  Quote

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'progress')
    at Timeline.progressBarUpdate [as _onUpdate]

The problem comes from this line console.log(tween.progress())

 

Any idea?

Hi @Black Ducas I've split your reply to its own topic, no need to bother all these people 9 years later. 

 

If you would have logged tween you would see that you don't have access to it, because you never pass it to the function that you call in onComplete

 

If you pass the current timeline as an argument to the function, you do have access to it. Check out how functions work in Javascript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Functions Hope it helps and happy tweening!

Thanks @mvaneijgen

I thought the Rodrigo code worked on that point, maybe something is changed from 9 years ago, my fault.

 

I'm not understanding why the progress method doesn't update the progress bar timeline, where am I wrong?

Yeah probably something has changed 9 years later, no worries. It is always a good idea to log the things you get to make sure they are what you think they are. 

 

In this case you can do two things. You want to tween a timeline, so all the logic should move to the timeline. Pausing a tween and then controlling the timeline is what is tripping you up here. 

// With a timeline 
let progressBarTl = gsap.timeline({
    paused: true, // Timeline gets paused
})
progressBarTl.from(".progress-bar", {
  scaleX: 0,
  duration: 2,
  ease: "none"
});

// Using a single tween
const progressBarTl = gsap.from(".progress-bar", {
  paused: true, // Tween gets paused
  scaleX: 0,
  duration: 2,
  ease: "none"
});
