I can't get this GSAP flex button swap animation working perfectly. I have a .service_card-button with icon (.service_icon-wrapper) on the left and text (.service_button-text) on the right. Initial state has padding on parent(service card button): 0.2rem 1rem 0.2rem 0.2rem (left 0.2rem, right 1rem). On hover, everything works crossing motion, color swaps, plus→minus line scale—but the final positions are off. The icon should slide to the true right edge (respecting 0.2rem right padding after padding flip to 1rem 0.2rem), and text should hit the true left edge (1rem left padding). Using getBoundingClientRect() and dynamic padding reads, but the math consistently leaves a gap. Need exact method to position icon/text at container's padded edges during flex transform animation.

I'm requested to create something like this but I find really complex to create it, the easy way is to just listen to mouse hover event over a element but as u can see and test in the website : https://epica.ru/ the hover effect is way complex then regular add addEventListener("mouseover" do u have any idea from to start ?

Hi, Im new here! I just started to use GSAP in order to animate things in my website, but the thing is that I'm not sure what's the best way to make a complex button like for example this one, I know I have to use useGSAP, useRef and Timeline in order to make complex animations, But I'm not sure how to trigger mouseenter or mouseleave and how would look a button component with the best use guides for performance.

I want a button similar to the 'Get Started' button at the top of the page on dora.run/ai, when I hover over it, the color changes in the same way. I’d really appreciate your help!

I've been struggling with this code all day. I've tried everything to get the hover effect to work correctly with a .reverse() but this was the closest I could get to it working correctly. Apparently, it works fine when hovering and unhovering the mouse, but if I repeat these actions, the animation freezes or does weird things. How can I fix this, or is there a better way to do this hover animation? I'd appreciate any help.

Hey people, Simply, I want to make this text transition, 20240711-0916-21.0398922.mp4 I tried to do it with Flip, but it probably doesn't support text, I tried Flip.fit and it didn't work as well(maybe don't know how to use it) So, is it doable.

I'm facing a little bug in my code. I tried onHover code is working fine, on simple hover out also it works smoothly. But when I try to come out of the button and click on the body, the animation gets stuck and not clearing all the props. I have attached the video below and the codepen link for better understanding.

Hello I have a list of links and wanted to create a hover effect that animates all elements in some way (ie reduce opacity) but do something different on the hovered element (ie animate a contained span). I have created a pen with a React functional component that uses gsap. In essence I am doing the following: - Create 2 lists of elements (hovered element, non hovered elements) - Create 2 gsap timelines - Trigger those timelines on mouseover and on mouseleave. I have 1 problem and 1 question. Question: am I using best practices? I have wrapped the code inside a gsap context and I'm reverting the context when the component lifecycle ends. However I have 2 eventlisteners that I am not sure if thery are removed when lifecycle of component ends. Problem: animation only happens once for each element. How can i persist the timeline effects? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I'm trying to create something like if I hover on a particular section my cursor will change. I've linked my CodePen that I tried. In my case, when I'm hovering over the "show" section I'm getting the custom cursor. But when I'm moving the pointer to another section the custom cursor is not getting hidden. Also when I'm hovering over the "show" section the custom cursor is revealed from the top left corner of the page. But I need the cursor to sync with my mouse pointer. Like when I'm hovering over the section the custom cursor should reveal from the mouse location. And here is a short brief of what I've done on my code. I use "scale-0" to hide the custom cursor Initially. When I'm hovering over the "show" section I've changed the "scale" value to "1" to reveal the custom cursor. And "onMouseLeave" I've changed the scale value to "0" again to hide the custom cursor again. (Note: I'm not sure why the "Custom cursor" is not hidden initially on CodePen)

Hello, I've seen this effect on few websites -> cursor has a transparent radius around itself, that when it hovers over a text, the part of text that is "inside" the radius loses it's fill color and only outline remains. I am a somewhat of a beginner, and I am very curious how this works because I'd love to implement it myself. If there is someone that could atleast point me in right direction, to help me figure this out I'd be very thankful. I've also found codepen that is kinda similiar but the principle is a bit different, to my understanding it can only be used on a flat color background, but on the websites that are linked below, this effect is used with picture/photos as background. Here are some websites that are utilizing this effect: https://maxilla.jp/ https://www.alexthery.com/

I've created a custom cursor whose X and Y gets updated on change of mouse. Using React and GSAP. The cursor also changes in size when it is hovered on a specific text. However, the hover state is not consistent and glitches at the time of using it. I'm sharing the codesandbox link where the same problem is replicated. Any and every help is appreciated, thank you. Codesandbox Link: Link

As you can observe in the code pen link, both the instances get triggered on interacting with any one of them. What concept am I missing? I guess this is because both button instances share the same ref. I am unsure. What is the gsap way of doing this? I read gsap context, This gsap thread, and gsap with react basics But I am still confused.

Hello All, I need help on Gsap, if you see the link of codepen theres a hover on text, I want something like on this Site on the last section https://dimitriossykovaris.netlify.app/about Hover on the mail u will see the hover Thanks,

I have an Image reveal while hovering over a text, what I want is something like on this site https://dennissnellenberg.com/ on Recent work section

Hello All, I am looking for the same text hover effect like below link. https://www.artistsweb.com/?fbclid=IwAR1ZFgHylvcRXuiqxcfiLOykfnX7VyQv4CssztG0TbkdW1RlxEWcZ1bMkXE Please help me out.

Hey! I would like the timeline to be completed before it fires again. Now when you hover really quickly it doesn't look good at all. I'm missing something in the structure that I struggle to find out. My first thought was to find the isActive() and then do some if statements. But isActive() is returning false all the time. - How can I finish the timeline before it fires again? - Do someone know why isActive() always returning false? This is probably a rookie mistake, and, this is my first post in a forum (ever!), so let me know if I could explain/structure my post better!

Hello, Im trying to make the images dissapear, by having them on negative yPos and the transitioning them on hover back on the screen. mainly with section.addEventListener('mouseenter', createHoverReveal); section.addEventListener('mouseleave', createHoverReveal); Is there something missing in my code?

Hey there ? I have no real idea of what I'm doing when it comes to javascript, but I'm totally hooked on the interactions and animations that are possible when using it. And today I discovered GSAP, which seems to tie all that stuff together very nicely. So here I am asking for help, trying to implement GSAP into my most recent 'Project'. What I'm trying to do is replicate an interaction on the Wieden + Kennedy home page. The closer your cursor gets to the featured project title (lower left of the screen) the more it's underline grows. When the cursor reaches the project title, the underline reaches it's full length, and underlines the project title. I'll also point out that it doesn't matter where your cursor is hovered on that featured project title, the underline stays at it's maximum value. (Something I've been having trouble figuring out) [It's definitely easier to see this in action than to read my crappy explanation of it, so it might be worth clicking the link up there] Phewf. After piecing together sections of code from around the web, and before I discovered GSAP. This is what I had. https://codepen.io/samuelhigginson/pen/MWKBjJm It's.. kind of something that works? But there are a couple of things that aren't quite right. My line starts to get going as soon as the cursor enters the viewport. On W+K's page there seems to be some kind of 'Trigger Div' which initiates the interaction. My line only reaches 100% when the cursor is exactly in the centre of the Project Title. W+K have a much more satisfying 'Hover anywhere on the Project Title' thing going on. If the window resizes, the distances change and things go wrong. And the final difference I can spot, and what ultimately led me to GSAP. That delicious easing. My lines width is a scaled replication of the cursors distance from the Project Title. What W+K have, is a buttery smooth, slippery sliming line. And I'm all about that. So I got to googling and came across this post, here on the GreenSock forum. I noticed some similarities between the solution offered there and what I had going on, so I forked the pen and started trying to merge that solution with my own. And I ended up with this. https://codepen.io/samuelhigginson/pen/LYGgaab?editors=1111 Not great. But.. not totally disgusting? I know I've probably over complicated this massively, and my approach and calculations are probably way off. But this is all my perfectly smooth brain can manage, for now. So I'm reaching out to you people with the GreenSocks and asking for help. Anything you can suggest to get this little line dancing would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hiya everyone. I am new here but really hoping someone can help me out as I would love to use this amazing library to achieve this cool effect just posted on codrops; (https://tympanus.net/codrops/2020/07/01/creating-a-menu-image-animation-on-hover/). You'll see in the article it explains that the effect works on the direction of your cursor - actually it has two effects, one for when the image is revealed/hidden and the other for moving the mouse over the nav title. I'm trying to adapt the direction based element of this effect into a Webflow project and I am struggling with this because the tutorial seems to go the long way round of achieving these effects (see the layout at the start of the tutorial) and also the fact that there are multiple JS files created. I am fairly new to js and also GSAP (love it though) so a lot of this is a bit overwhelming and also makes it very hard to achieve using Webflow but essentially I would like help with these two directional based effects on hover; 1) I just want to reveal and hide elements on hover with the direction dependent on the mouse direction 2) moving the mouse to the left rotate's the image to the left, and to the right it does the inverse. If anyone is able to offer me help I would hugely appreciate it! Thanks so much

Dear forum participants. I need your professionalism in coding. I can’t understand what is used to achieve effects such as in these examples: 1. When you click on any project from the bottom up, the rounded form of the divlock block https://jesperlandberg.dev/ 2. a very similar effect we can see when you click on the menu at https://www.chiaraluzzana.com/about 3. when you hover over any project + when you click on this project, a similar effect appears https://www.martinehrlich.com/ I hope I threw off enough examples to understand what I mean. I want to achieve a smooth distortion of the standard div block. With CSS, this smooth effect is not possible. Please tell me the script or explain how to repeat it? I also found a library with a similar menu, but I don’t quite understand whether it is or not: https://tympanus.net/Development/OffCanvasMenuEffects/bubble.html

In my codePen I have two icons with the same hover animation and it works independenly but altought I´m using the same class, I have the animation code twice in my Js. I tried to use a loop but I couldn’t make it works. There is a way to use a loop without the needing of JQuery?

I'm trying to create an effect, but i don't know where to start. Before hover text in white color, After hover into Text color will be change White to Green with animation like a slide left to right

Hey, I've seen this animation when hovering but I have no idea how to do it. Perhaps someone can help me with this please? Hover.mp4

Hi. I need some basic help with gsap.timeline() in a react environment. See my code below: import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react' import gsap, { TweenMax, Linear } from 'gsap'; import { ReactComponent as Twitter } from '../assets/svg/social/twitter.svg' const NavBar = () => { let twitterIcon = useRef(null); const tl = gsap.timeline() // this is the hover effect, making it glow green (all attributes are correct) const glowAnimation = (icon) => { tl.to(icon, 0.3, {attr: {style: "fill: rgb(48,223,171)"}, ease: Linear}) } // This just sets the initial colour of the black svg to white useEffect(() => { TweenMax.set(twitterIcon, {attr: {"style": "fill: rgb(255,255,255)"}}) }) return ( <div className="navbar"> <a title="Twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" // onMouseEnter={ glowAnimation({twitterIcon}) } // onMouseLeave={ something? reverse of tl } href="redacted"> <Twitter // This is an SVG imported as ReactComponent className="navbar__icon" title="Twitter" ref={el => {twitterIcon = el}} /> </a> </div> ) } export default NavBar The basic premise of this is that it is part of my header. It has only one twitter icon (svg) right now. I want to be able to add more icons in the future (e.g. facebook, github) hence why I want to be able to pass in some reference to an icon into a single gsap timeline to describe the hover animation (defined as glowAnimation function) when mouse over an icon, and reverse that timeline when mouse leaves that icon. So I created a function with that timeline. But I'm unsure how to pass the twitterIcon reference (made using useRef) into the onMouseEnter attribute. What am I doing wrong? And also, what can I put in the onMouseLeave attribute to reverse the glowAnimation function? Sorry if this is stupid
