Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hello paper, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forum! Here are some various examples See the Pen wBDHA by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen See the Pen qxsfc by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen See the Pen yYbBGb by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen Do have specific effect your going for? Happy Tweening! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted March 1, 2020 Cool examples. Would be awesome to see some updated examples with React or Vue rather than Jquery! 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted March 1, 2020 @Aquasar hello and welcome to the GreenSock forums! It's quite straightforward to use vanilla JS instead of jQuery. React and Vue aren't similar to jQuery... Also simple to upgrade the syntax to GSAP 3! Let us know if you are running into any issues during the conversion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted March 24, 2020 Thanks for the reply @ZachSaucier . For me the issue is not using Vanilla JS instead of JQuery. It is more related to the fact of using React and the GSAP library together. For example, as someone just starting out, the syntax is quite a bit different and takes quite a lot of digging around just to get up and running. Some of the things I had to search for a while - gsap vs TweenMax vs TimeLineMax. I realize when using npm to install gsap, as most React users would I believe, the syntax is for example gsap.timeline - Where to put the animation logic for gsap, for instance inside a useEffect hook - Using useRef to grab dom elements for the animations. Again a lot of these are probably trivial for you, but for a noob it could be non trivial, especially when trying to learn a new library Link to post Share on other sites

It explains the basics of how to get things up and running. For React, we have an article on that as well: And of course you're free to ask here in the forums if you have specific questions!
