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();
