Animating a <ul> with a delay on each <li>

[The Refinery 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi there,

 

I'm sure this is really easy to do, but I can't seem to work it out. I just want to animate the <ul> and have each <li> have a slight delay on it so they come in one after the other. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Refinery!

 

You are just overthinking it a bit. All you need is the following:

 

gsap.from(".list__item", {
  opacity: 0,
  duration: 0.5,
  x: 50,
  stagger: 0.5
});

What you are doing in your code is creating an individual Tween for each of the list items, not a timeline that contains all the items. As each tween is independent and only contains one item, there is nothing to stagger and they all paly at the same time.

Of course! Thanks for that- been looking at code for too long today 🤦‍♂️

 

Thanks!
