repeat

repeat( value:Number ) : [Number | self]

Gets or sets the number of times that the timeline should repeat after its first iteration.

Parameters

  • value: Number

    (default = 0) - Omitting the parameter returns the current value (getter), whereas defining the parameter sets the value (setter) and returns the instance itself for easier chaining.

Returns : [Number | self]​

Omitting the parameter returns the current value (getter), whereas defining the parameter sets the value (setter) and returns the instance itself for easier chaining.

Details​

Gets or sets the number of times that the timeline should repeat after its first iteration.

For example, if repeat is 1, the timeline will play a total of twice (the initial play plus 1 repeat). To repeat indefinitely, use -1. repeat should always be an integer.

To cause the repeats to alternate between forward and backward, set yoyo to true. To add a time gap between repeats, use repeatDelay. You can set the initial repeat value via the vars parameter, like:

var tl = gsap.timeline({ repeat: 2 });

This method serves as both a getter and setter. Omitting the parameter returns the current value (getter), whereas defining the parameter sets the value (setter) and returns the instance itself for easier chaining, like myTimeline.repeat(2).yoyo(true).play();

//gets current repeat value
var repeat = tl.repeat();

//sets repeat to 2
tl.repeat(2);
