That's not assigning window to gsap - it looks like he was just creating some aliases that were simpler to work with in his code. So he can reference timeline instead of gsap.timeline, and set instead of gsap.set. Another way of writing that would be: 

const timeline = window.gsap.timeline;
const set = window.gsap.set;
const registerPlugin = window.gsap.registerPlugin;
const ScrollTrigger = window.ScrollTrigger;

Does that clear things up? 

 

It's part of the more modern ES6 syntax sugar.

Thanks for the docs link. But I not quit understand why need to include window, because if I remove window then the code will not work. In other examples there is no window before gsap.registerPlugin.

 

const registerPlugin = gsap.registerPlugin;

 

Also I cannot get the meaning of "..." in the line "...document.querySelectorAll(".apple-image--complete")"

const COMPLETES = [
  ...document.querySelectorAll(".apple-image--complete"),
  document.querySelector(".apple-image--complete"),
];

You don't need to include it. Just do it the way we show in our docs and demos. You do not need to refer the window for any GSAP stuff. The author of that CodePen is just using an advanced coding style. In fact, it's the first time I've seen someone do that.

 

// const {
//   gsap: { timeline, set, registerPlugin },
//   ScrollTrigger,
// } = window

// registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger)


gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger)

const setClip = () =>
  gsap.set('.logo path', {
    x: () => window.innerWidth / 2 - 12,
    y: () => window.innerHeight / 2 - 12,
    scale: 0,
    transformOrigin: '50% 50%',
  })

setClip()
ScrollTrigger.addEventListener('refresh', () => {
  setClip()
  document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0
})

...

const INTRO = () =>
  gsap.timeline({
    scrollTrigger: {
      scrub: 0.5,
      trigger: '.section--intro',
      pin: '.section--intro .section__content',
      start: 'top top',
      end: 'bottom bottom',
    },
  })

It's more ES6 code. That's just another way to concat and copy arrays.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_syntax#spread_in_array_literals

 

A good resources for a lot of the stuff you're bringing up can be found in this JavaScript course. It's really good!
