Hi there, TL;DR How to prevent the gsap animations to be aborted in react because of a rerender/prop change How to use dynamic props/state inside a gsap tween without beeing interrupted I'm building a spinng wheel with dynamic start- and end-points. You guys already helped me a lot with this: Now I need to implement this into an acutal react application. The biggest problem is, that I use dynamic Properties inside my gsap tweens to calculate e.g. the stop position or when to stop animation. React rerenders my component and aborts the whole animation as soon as a property changes. Of course react should do that - but how to I keep my animation running? What my code should do: start spinning by clicking the "Start Spinning" Button Wheel is spinning infinite Stop wheel by clicking the "Stop Spinning" Button Wheel at least the minimum amount (5) and then stops at the set position What my code actually does: start spinning by clicking the "Start Spinning" Button Wheel is spinning infinite Clicking "Stop Spinning" does not work -> triggers in my local invironment a rerender and aborts the animation in codepen it flickers and then nothing happens (the stop position is never passed into the tween) ... In the codepen it actually does not rerender but the updated prop won't be passed into the tween. const loopAnim = gsap.to(circleRef.current, { rotation: "+=360", ease: "none", duration: 0.5, onComplete: () => { // The props won't update in here... if (loopIteration.current >= fullSpins && typeof stopAt === "number") { stopAnim.play(); } else { loopIteration.current++; loopAnim.play(0); }, paused: true });

How can I change the transform to matrix I find it difficult to drag in the slider when creating the tilt effect as well as some delay in changing the slide and I think this will fix it just a belief I use gsap.to https://codesandbox.io/s/broken-currying-05h9k

Hi everyone, I'm working on a projet where I have a menu, and a side-menu. Every thing is fine: when i click on the menu button the side menu opens, and when i click again it get back to close state. But if I click to fast the side menu closes but the text inside doesn't disapear, any idea on why please ? :) (I can't reproduce on codepen so I guess the code here and the two screen would help ^^" ) Screen 1: side menu is closed Screen 2: side menu is open Screen 3: side meni is closed but text inside is still visible My GSAP code: const handleAnim = () => { let sideMenuBackground = document.querySelector(".sideMenu__background"); let sideMenu = document.querySelector(".sideMenu"); if (menuCheckbox) { TweenMax.from(sideMenuBackground, 0, { width: "0px", ease: Power1.easeIn }) TweenMax.to(sideMenuBackground, 0.3, { width: "324px" }) TweenMax.from(sideMenu, { display: "none", opacity: "0", ease: Power0.easeNone }) TweenMax.to(sideMenu, 0.3, { display: "block", opacity: "1", delay: 0.4 }) } else { TweenMax.to(sideMenu, { display: "none", opacity: "0", ease: Power0.easeNone }) TweenMax.to(sideMenuBackground, 0.1, { width: "0", delay: 0.2 }) } } The "handleAnim" function is called in menu burger button and icons button: <nav className={`navList ${menuCheckbox && "navList__isOpen"}`}> <div className={menuCheckbox ? "menuBurger__nav menuBurger__cross" : "menuBurger__nav"}> <input type="checkbox" onClick={() => { handleCheckbox(); }} /> <span className="top"></span> <span className="middle"></span> <span className="bottom"></span> </div> <ul> <li> <button onClick={() => { handleCheckbox(); }}> <i className="fal fa-folders"></i> </button> </li> <li> <button onClick={() => { handleCheckbox(); }}> <i className="fal fa-balance-scale"></i> </button> </li> <li> <button onClick={() => { handleCheckbox(); }}> <i className="fal fa-receipt"></i> </button> </li> </ul> </nav>

Hello, I am try to create some UI micro interactions for my buttons on a react app I am currently developing. I have seen Mo.js and I noticed that it had a easy way to add burst animations using a burst object. I have never really tackled any complex animation with GSAP, so I was hoping someone may offer an opinion on a way to tackle these types of animations (ideally with GSAP 3)? Thanks A

I want to change color of my background and text again and again parsing my array of colors. I don´t know if I can do that using a variable or changing itemColor value, I was thinking in using an onComplete funcion by I will use this inside React, let itemColor = 0; var tl = gsap.timeline(); tl.to("#bg", { backgroundColor: colors[itemColor].dark, duration: 1, delay: 3 }).to("#h1go", { color: colors[itemColor].light, duration: 1, delay: 0 }); Also I have a Codesandbox link for React https://codesandbox.io/s/gsap-react-text-gsaptimeline-cuk58?file=/src/App.js Thanks in advance

Just moved to GSAP 3.2 from TweenMax 2.latest and noticed this warning. Does not happen with TweenMax.set equivalent. For code gsap.set("#nb", {top: "200px"}); //... //... gsap.set("#nb", {clearprops: "top", bottom: "58px"}); I get a warning in 3.2.6, but things continue to work well. Invalid property clearprops set to top Missing plugin? gsap.registerPlugin() Here is the full log demo.localhost-1588964285633.log PS: #nb { position: absolute; padding-top: 8px; white-space: normal; /* needed for edge because edge doesn't understand break-spaces */ white-space: break-spaces; font-size: 16px; width: 100%; left: 0%; line-height: 1.3; }

Hi guys, this is how i normally created my loops in my banners before gsap3: // ... tl.addCallback(function(){ if(loopCount < 3){ loopCount++; // fade out elements }else{ tl.pause(); } }); Now, that addCallback is not present anymore I use "call()", but the ad does not loop correctly, but only two times. Is "call" not being processed in every loop of the timeline? This would be my whole timeline. Also notice the "tl.to({}, 0.1, {});" in the end, which is needed to avoid a flickering when looping. This was not the case in gsap2 as well. var loopCount = 0; var tl = new TimelineMax({paused:true, repeat:-1}); tl.timeScale(1.2); //fr1 tl.from('#logo', 1, {scale:1.2, opacity: 0 }); tl.to({}, 2, {}); tl.from('.line, .line2', 0.2, { opacity: 0 }); tl.to('.cls-1', 1.2, { 'stroke-width': 102 }); //fr2 tl.from('#bg-blue', 3, {opacity: 0}, 'kaas') tl.from('#stuk1', 0.2, {opacity: 0}, 'kaas'); tl.from('#shop', 0.5, {y: 50, opacity: 0, ease:Back.easeOut},'kaas'); tl.from('#stuk1_shade', 0.2, {opacity: 0}, 'kaas'); tl.from('#stuk2r', 1.3, {x: -72, opacity: 0, ease:Power4.easeOut}, 'kaas'); tl.from('#stuk2l', 1.3, {x: 72, opacity: 0, ease:Power4.easeOut}, 'kaas'); tl.from('#stuk3r', 1.5, {x: -121, opacity: 0, ease:Power4.easeOut}, 'kaas'); tl.from('#stuk3l', 1.5, {x: 121, opacity: 0, ease:Power4.easeOut}, 'kaas'); tl.from('#stoerer', 0.5, {scale: 0.5, opacity: 0, ease:Back.easeOut}, 'kaas+=1.2'); tl.to({}, 1, {}); tl.to('#stoerer', 0.2, {scale: 0.95, yoyo: true, repeat: 3}); tl.to({}, 2, {}); // loop tl.call(function(){ if(loopCount <= 5){ loopCount++; tl.set('.cls-1', { 'stroke-width': 14 }); tl.set('.line, .line2, #logo', { opacity: 0 }); tl.to('#frame2', 0.5, {opacity: 0}); }else{ tl.pause(); } }); tl.to({}, 0.1, {}); What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I am trying to add a defaults values for my fromTo(), I tried putting defaults: {} inside gsap.timeline({}) as below const tl_shapes = gsap.timeline( { defaults: { opacity: 0 } }, { defaults: { opacity: 1 } } ); function step_shapes_animation () { return tl_shapes .fromTo( ".step-2 .shapes img:first-child", { x: -200 }, { x: 0, duration: duration } ) .fromTo( ".step-2 .shapes img:last-child", { y: -200 }, { y: 0, duration: duration }, "-=0.4" ); } I am not sure if this is the right way to do it but second element doesn't seem to work and it starts with initial opacity: 1 and I guess it is because fromTo() has 2 objects and I can't put 2 objects for defaults. I am wondering if there is a right way to do it.

Hello When my website launches im creating a timeline and then saving it in an object so later I can control it's playback. Thing is, when I call that timeline again, I would like to pass a parameter that will change the background color of my animation dinamically. I know that the timeline is just an object, and going to _first.vars.background I could change the color, but this is cumbersome. Is there a more direct approach so when I try to play or reverse my timeline I could pass parameters directly and change the burger background color? Thanks in advance :)

Hello, guys ? I have some div, positioned as 'left: 10px; top: 10px'. And then, i'm trying move it to 'left: 50%; top: 50%' and it works, but at the beginning of animation, div jumps. How can i fix this?

Hi, I meet a simple problem with a tween : when I execute a first time my tween and then resize my window, the tween is happens badly, but if I refresh my page everything works fine, I've searched on forums but I don't find expected results ? In a first time, I've thinked the problem was linked to my CSS properties but when GSAP tweening it uses pixels values, and that's my only clue to resolve the problem. Here, an attached minimal repository : https://github.com/pierredarrieutort/Jape/tree/minimal_repo_for_menu

I'm trying to convert Craig Roblewsky's CodePen Horizontal full-screen slider w/4 controls to GSAP 3 but I'm getting a console log error that I don't understand. Can anyone take a look and see if it's a simple fix? I'd like to use this slider with GSAP3. Thanks!

I've create a function which scrolls to the next anchor detecting the scroll direction (See below) const CONTAINER_STRING = '#main-container>main', CONTAINER = document.querySelector( CONTAINER_STRING ) let currentChild = 0 gsap.registerPlugin( ScrollToPlugin ) CONTAINER.addEventListener( 'wheel', ( { deltaY } ) => { if ( currentChild < CONTAINER.childElementCount - 1 && deltaY > 0 ) currentChild++ if ( currentChild > 0 && deltaY < 0 ) --currentChild gsap.to( CONTAINER, .5, { scrollTo: '#' + document.querySelector( `${CONTAINER_STRING}>:nth-child(${currentChild + 1})` ).id } ) }, { passive: true } ) My problem is i can't detect if gsap is currently tweening in my page. I've tried some tricks like extract the tween into a variable, but nothing works... ? So how can i detect an interpolation in my page or detect if this specific tween is active ?

Hey guys I may be blind, but is cycle method supported in the gsap3 release? Can't seem to make it work the old way. Thank you!

Hi! Help me please!)) Now I have loop animation to the right. If I click "Left(reverse)" animation go to the left, but animation stops. What I need do that animation works loop and when i click" Right(play)" and when I click "Left(reverse)"

Hi guys, I am working on this app that uses jquery for functionality, however I have never really used it, especially not in conjunction with GSAP. I did get the animation to work thanks to your doc, however I am not clear as to how I would do a GSAP fromTo method using the jQuery syntax. Basically I am trying to use GSAP to animate some jquery modal transitions. To just test that the animation is working at all I used the below .animate method which is animating fine, but what I really want to do is a fromTo animation, where the modal is scaled up from width/height:0 to 1200px x 705px. In my showModal function I have this: var showModal = function () { setTimeout(function(){ //alert("Boom!"); }, 2000); $(options.selector.outer).css('display', 'flex'); $(options.selector.inner).animate({width:"1200px", height:"705px", display:'flex'}, {duration:1000, complete:onShowComplete}); }; Thank you!

I am trying to have the arrow group move along the X while fading in and have the inner svg paths stagger fade in, but it seems the group move and fade won't work with the stagger of paths.

Hello, I hope you can help me with this. I am trying to create a custom hook for creating an image parallax using intersectionObserver API. Seems work partially but when I scroll I get this error: backend.js:6 Invalid property y set to 47.666666666666664 Missing plugin? gsap.registerPlugin() My goal: using Y or backgroundPosition from/to everytime the element is visible. import React, { useEffect } from 'react'; import { gsap } from 'gsap/all'; function useImageParallax(imagesParentSelector) { useEffect(() => { const appWrapper = document.querySelector('.app--layout'); const elements = document.querySelectorAll(imagesParentSelector); const scrollHandler = () => { let options = { root: null, }; // parallax effect let observer = new IntersectionObserver(function(entries) { entries.forEach((entry) => { const offset = appWrapper.scrollTop / 3; gsap.to(entry, { y: offset }); }); }, options); for (let elm of elements) { observer.observe(elm); } }; appWrapper.addEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler, { capture: false, passive: true }); return () => { appWrapper.removeEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler, { capture: false, passive: true }); }; }, [gsap]); } export default useImageParallax;

Hi community , this is my first project with React and GSAP. I really love the work we have created, but we have a big issue: In the project, we are using server side render with reactjs.NET. When we try to render a component with the gsap library we got this error: setTimeout is not supported in server-rendered Javascript Here is an image with the error too. please, help me with some ideas, I made great things with gsap and I dont want to dont finally use the library and I have to finish the project next week... thank you very much

Hi everyone. Firstly, I'd like to say thanks to an amazing forum, I've learnt so much here over the last few weeks. The effort you lot put into this is unreal. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a solution to the issues I'm having, hence this post. I'm trying to stagger animate a list in and out that changes length and properties. I'm using gsap3 with react hooks. I'm sure this is common and I'm just approaching it wrong so I would really appreciate someone taking a look at the link below: https://stackblitz.com/edit/gsap-react-listobject-stagger Thanks so much!

Hello again! I've managed to make some items orbit infinitely ? There are a few things I'm slightly struggling with: 1: I have tried using 'progress' and 'totalProgress' to make the animation start in 'full orbit' (i.e. without the beginning part). I've tried setting it all the places that seem correct (see commented out js in codepen). I must be missing something as nothing I've tried works..? 2: If you check the console, there are lots of errors like '"Invalid property" "start" "set to" 0.5714285714285714 "Missing plugin? gsap.registerPlugin()"'. I'm working in Magento2 ? so thought this was some kind of require.js error, but it also happens in the codepen demo. In the past I have seen this if there is a null target, but there are no null targets here. Why are these errors happening? 3: Also, in this simplified demo, the items seem to not follow the path exactly..? (offset and seems slightly wonky too). I assume this is something to do with the svg path itself? The 'items' are too small to need an offset? Magneto2 sidenote: I couldn't get MotionPathHelper to work, I really tried! I loaded it in the correct method via requirejs-config.js. Just mentioning this in case anyone has had the same issue and worked it out. I used the minified js files. Look forward to your response, thanks!! P.s. Loving version 3 !

Hello I have to do a airplane that fly vertically left and right whenever the user scrolled, I already did it with Scroll magic and I can't figure how to do it right, i know the problem is on the path it must take full height of my container but i don't know how to do it do you have any idea guys I've been stacked for 2 days Thank you

gsap.to(target, {duration: 0.3, autoAlpha: 0}); The expected behavior is that visibility will be set to hidden, but as you can see in this pen (see console) when you click the target (red div) the visibility is set to inherit. And because the target is still visible it's still clickable, so when it's clicked again, then the visibility is set to hidden. I suspect this is a bug. With GSAP 2 the visibility is correctly set to hidden.
