Objectives

  • create animations with GSAP

Monday

The GSAP library

The GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) is a powerful and relatively easy to use suite of animation libraries for HTML5. As of April 2018, it includes:

  • TweenLite -handles animating just about any property of any object.
  • TweenMax - adds some extras.
  • TimelineLite a container for tweens to control them as a whole and precisely manage their timing in relation to each other
  • TimelineMax - adds some extras.

In this class, we will work with TweenMax.

  • Either download it from here or
  • include the library as CDN, like this:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.20.3/TweenMax.min.js"></script>

Creating animations with TweenMax and TweenLite

There are are two ways of creating animations:

  • Use a simple static method like Tweenlite.to . e..g
TweenLite.to(thing, 2, {left:"542px"});
  • Create a tweening object that you then can control with various methods.
var tween = new TweenLite (thing, 2, {left:"542px"});  
tween.play();

Motion animation with GSAP

HTML fragment 

<div id="universe">
  <img id="mc" src="https://openclipart.org/download/261329/Rocket-ship-Clip-Art.svg" height="100px" alt="a rocket" />
  <div id="pad"></div>
</div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.20.3/TweenMax.min.js"></script>

CSS: 

#universe {
  position: absolute;
  background-color: lightblue;
  height: 400px;
  width: 800px;
}

#mc {
  position: absolute;
  top: 290px;
  left: 10px;
}

#pad {
  position: absolute;
  top: 390px; left:10px;
  background-color: green;
  height: 10px;
  width: 2cm;
}

JavaScript: 

var rocket = document.getElementById("mc");
console.log("rocket=", rocket);
var anim = new TweenMax(rocket, 10, {
  bezier: {
    autoRotate: false,
    values: [
      { x: 20, y: -300 },
      { x: 99, y: -223 },
      { x: 200, y: -89 },
      { x: 300, y: -231 },
      { x: 400, y: -99 },
      { x: 500, y: -217 },
      { x: 500, y: 0}
    ]
  },
  paused: true,
  ease: Bounce.easeOut
});

rocket.onclick = function() {
  anim.restart();
  console.log("clicked rocket");
};

document.getElementById("pad").onclick = function() {
  console.log("clicked pad");
  TweenMax.to(mc, 5, { x: 0, y: 0});
};
