Best practice about React with GSAP

Hi,

 

Here there is my code : https://codesandbox.io/s/gsap-with-react-n23k7h?file=/src/index.tsx

 

I'm following a tutorial written in JS Vanilla with GSAP, but i need to use it on React so i transform all the code. Of course all work's great, like expected. 

 

But i don't know if there is a better way to write that. For example inside the components "InputContainer" (/component/form/input/inputContainer):

 

1. i push all the '.input-container' inside the revealRefs array, instead of querySelectorAll ( i also tried the utility 'selectors' but it doesn't work, maybe because this container is inside a map loop, don't know)

2. Then inside the useEffect i loop revealRefs, and inside the forEach i needed to use querySelector if i wanna select all the input's

 

There are similar example in the code, but if i  refactor one component, the others are the same.

 

So there is a better way to handle that? 

 

Thank You😆😀

In react, Ref's are not populated until after the first render. In theory, so long as you were using your q function in a hook, it should have worked. If you tried to use it outside of a hook, it wouldn't have. I didn't check at the time and your code has since changed, so I have no idea.

I wonder if you were using it wrong - do you have a very simple demo showing it NOT working? 

I try again to use it, and now it works, previously i had done some mistake. :(
