Hi there @vladdesign, It's hard to debug without a look at the barba.js issue but it sounds like it's down to how barba.js is replacing/loading the DOM This thread has links to a few previous forum posts that may prove useful - Good luck with your project - I hope this helps.

Thanks a million for taking the time to respond... I have spent this afternoon 'trial and erroring' barba based on what you sent but still no cigar... the whole transition i have on my site works as it should do... infact it looks great... its just the bit where the animations don't play once entering the new page after transition. I noticed in your GSAP you included .then(resolve()); which i thought fixed the problem... the transitions work, the animations work... but the link doesnt go anywhere, just stays on the page I am on... Maybe I am out of my depth with GSAP... I am so close I don't want to give up on it as it does exactly what I want... I am 99% there! eeek!

Hey @rootx86 This is probably not related to GSAP at all, but more to the way barba.js handles things. The thing with transiton-libraries, such as barba.js is, that on transition they remove the old contents and add in the new contents. If your GSAP animations refer to any of the contents that have been removed, they will stay connected to those contents after the transition. For solving that, so you will need to put those animations you are creating inside a function and call that function after the new contents on your page have been loaded by barba ( best inside one of the hooks provided by barba ). Hope this helps. Cheers, Paul

First I want to apologize for the amount of code that's in my CodePen, I had to scrap it from my project and make sure I could recreate the issue. In my project I'm using Smooth Scrollbar & Barba.js but I didn't include the Barba code because I was able to recreate the issue without it (plus can you even use barba.js page transitions in codepen?) Anyway the issue I'm having is when you scroll to the end of the page (or to the end of the 2nd pinned section), then resize the window and scroll back up the "portfolio" section is missing. If you inspect element you can see that the "portfolio" section seems like it is still stuck in the pinReparent; which is below all the script tags BUT it doesn't make sense because if you inspect element and watch the two pinReparent's happen; once you get to the end of both sections, the sections leave the pinReparent state but once you resize the window the portfolio section jumps back into the pinReparent state. This issue only happens on a window resize event, so I'm not sure if it's an issue with pinReparent, Smooth Scrollbar or my code. Before I added Smooth Scrollbar to my project I only had the portfolio section and the only way I could get that section to scroll correctly with Smooth Scrollbar was to add the pinReparent. The same goes for when I added the zoom section into the project, it wouldn't work without it. I have tried to add a couple different eventlisteners but that didn't help. Here is the most recent one I tried on my project: let allTriggers = ScrollTrigger.getAll(); ScrollTrigger.addEventListener("refresh", () => bodyScrollBar.update()); ScrollTrigger.refresh(); let progress = 0; ScrollTrigger.addEventListener("refreshInit", () => progress = allTriggers.progress ); ScrollTrigger.addEventListener("refresh", () => allTriggersscroll(progress * ScrollTrigger.maxScroll(window))); bodyScrollBar.addListener(ScrollTrigger.update); I also tried to wrap it in a window.addEventListener and some different variations but no luck. Another weird thing is the word "TEXT" that's in the portfolio section; jumps up once the pin/horizontal scrolling starts. I'm not sure why it does it in the CodePen but is does not do it in my project.

Good afternoon. I managed to make a transition animation when clicking on "Back", but when clicking on a link with index.html it is not possible to implement flip. In Slack Barba, only one person answered me, but he says that barba is not very good... But it turns out to make an animation in the cover__div block... P.S.: codesandbox why doesn't it work out the transition here... https://codesandbox.io/s/withered-river-i8cqs?file=/index.html Maybe there is really some option with another plugin for the transition? 😒

It might have something to do with the fact that it has redirect to get the latest version, so it will return this. https://unpkg.com/@barba/core@2.9.7/dist/barba.umd.js It might be swapping the instance out in the middle of the transition.

I have already watched the video, I have practiced doing something from there, taking into account the recommendations of Cassie. And it worked. But here is not a separate working out of flip, namely in the transition. In the gsap topics, I found a description, only according to the old version of barba... I took your example, barba works, but the flip process itself seems to work only at the end, when the page has already opened, there is some flashing of the block on the page. But it does not work during the download process... As in the reference, in it, flip is in the process... https:/ / studio-size. com/ https://prnt.sc/1g61lut - screen Some simple animation of the transition is obtained, but the entire page as a whole, for example, opacity or zoomout, but not a separate block... There is clearly some nuance here that I don't understand and probably just don't know that it exists

By the way, I was able to connect barba, I thought I read that it is well compatible with gsap, but I can't figure out where to attach the animation yet... And I'm not lucky with examples =_= I found a description here, but with an old version of barba...

Thank you @akapowl for your time. I tried this but did not succeed. Some of the threads are suggesting to refresh ScrollTrigger like ScrollTrigger.refresh(true); with Barba.js function and some are suggested to add gsap into function and pass it to Barba. but I have gsap on the footer and Barba in the middle content both are not connected each other I'm still looking for a solution.

I figured out what the problem was in my setup, specifically why my timelines would only run on the first page load. Basically Barba doesn't reinit scripts after a page transition, so you have to load them inside a barba hook. So I just did this: barba.hooks.after(() => { $('.c-hamburger').on('click', function() { $('.c-hamburger, .hamburger, .r-header').toggleClass('is-active'); tl_overlay_in.reversed() ? tl_overlay_in.play() : tl_overlay_in.reverse(); }); }); So after every page transition this gets reinitialised and all runs perfect now. This actually applies to other JS (like a slider) as well. There might be a better way to do this, but I'll do some more homework later. I do have another question though, in the onComplete hook of my page out transition of Barba I'd like to reset a timeline to its starting values, in the starting state it would be on a page load. Is there a specific function for that? tl_overlay_in.invalidate().restart(); The code above doesn't seem to work, is there something that I can use? barba.init({ transitions: [{ name: 'transition-base', leave: function(data) { var done = this.async(); gsap.to('.overlay', {left: 0, duration: .5, ease: 'cubicbezier'}); // Somewhere here or in the onComplete I need to reset a specific timeline to its starting values gsap.to(data.current.container, 0.5, { opacity: 0, onComplete: done }); }, enter: function(data) { var done = this.async(); gsap.to('.overlay', {left: '100%', duration: .5, delay: .5, ease: 'cubicbezier', clearProps: 'all'}); gsap.from(data.next.container, 0.5, { opacity: 0, onComplete: done }); } }] });

Hey @adamoc. Seems like you are having issues similar to what mine were about. This here is probably what is most important to get your head around with barba: Everything inside the barba container will get removed on transitioning to another page and will be replaced with the content inside the barba-container of the page you are aiming at. When you revisit the initial page then, the content is loaded fresh. Every timeline you might initiate on load of window e.g., will be aiming at those elements that are there on load and will stay 'connected' to these even when they are removed on transition. But since they actually are not there anymore - but have been replaced - when you come back to this page, you won't see anything happen. You will have to find a way to reinitiate the timeline for page-specific elements everytime you transition to that page, just like @mdelp suggested above. Hope this helps clear things up a bit. There is a lot to consider when using something like barba.

Here's an example: https://www.azzerad.com/ For a month I've been trying to learn how to do nice page transitions which look seamless like on the page above. I am using the SPA framework Nuxt.js which has a lot of stuff for this kind of transition. However, I was never successful in utilizing it perfectly. Either my content loads way too fast and the curtain effect is not there or the routing doesn't work the way I want. I tried vue's navigation guards, nuxt loader component but without a good result. Of course, for animations, I use GSAP which should help the transitioning between pages easier. Let's say I click on the link, transition in the curtain, load the content behind and then transition out. This should be doable with the timeline I believe. Does anybody know how to nail this kind of page transition? I took a look at barba.js but that is basically the same as vue's transition hooks but still, I can't use it properly for the curtain.

Hey everyone, I am trying to recreate this animation from this video about GSAP and Barba.JS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMucZErEdZg However, the lines do not show up and I get no errors in console, can anyone shed some light on the problem? My HTML <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.scss" /> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/2.0.1/TweenLite.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/2.0.1/TimelineMax.min.js"></script> </head> <body data-barba="wrapper"> <ul class="transition"> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> <main data-barba="container" data-barba-namespace="home"> <h1>Hello World</h1> <a href="/index2.html">Test Link</a> </main> <script src="/testscript.js"></script> </body> </html> The CSS ul.transition { display: flex; position: absolute; z-index: 10; height: 100vh; width: 100%; top: 0; left: 0; margin: 0; pointer-events: none; } ul.transition li { transform: scaleY(0); background: yellow; width: 20%; } Javascript: let tl = new TimelineMax(); pageTransition(); function pageTransition() { tl.to(`ul.transition li`, 0.5, { scaleY: 1, transformOrigin: "bottom left", stagger: 0.2 }); tl.to(`ul.transition li`, 0.5, { scaleY: 0, transformOrigin: "bottom left", stagger: 0.1, delay: 0.1 }); console.log("page transition"); }

Hey @Sanady - welcome to the forums. That most likely is related to how things work with barba. Whenever you transition between pages, barba gets rid off the old content and adds in new content. My guess would be that you init your scrollTo function only once on page load. That would result in it only knowing the contents that are in place at that time and none of the contents that will be added in later on. Thus it has nothing to relate to after you transitioned and things result in errors. You'd probably have to wrap your scrollTo-functionality inside a function, and init that function in a barba hook every time you enter a new page (and best, also destroy it in some way for the old content when leaving a page). Hope this helps. Cheers, Paul

Sure, you can rewrite it with gsap 3, check migration guide The similar examples you can find by chosing filter by Technologies on awwwards site, chose Barba.js, GSAP Animation, Highway.js... filters

thank you for the answer. But unfortunately in your demo version, there is no barba shell. I thought I did the right thing. I have been reading the barba js forum for a long time and I understand how it works. I saw that I had to delete the scripts and initialize them, that's what I did with smoothScrollbar. In my version I re-run smoothScrollbar when I go from one page to another. And I thought to do it by analogy with scrollTrigger.... maybe I did not initialize it correctly. It's just strange, I couldn't find the code to reinitialize on the official barba.js website in the documentation... I'll look more closely

Hi guys, So I got things working perfectly now using Animsition and CSS animations but I notice some performance issues that slow down the animations from time to time. Since I'm very interested in Barba I started integrating this on a testsite but am a bit confused as to how I can integrate the Tweenmax functions. When I use the standard Barba fade transition it works flawless, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the standard fade transitions to the Tweenmax transitions. This is the standard Barba transition: var FadeTransition = Barba.BaseTransition.extend({ start: function() { /** * This function is automatically called as soon the Transition starts * this.newContainerLoading is a Promise for the loading of the new container * (Barba.js also comes with an handy Promise polyfill!) */ // As soon the loading is finished and the old page is faded out, let's fade the new page Promise .all([this.newContainerLoading, this.fadeOut()]) .then(this.fadeIn.bind(this)); }, fadeOut: function() { /** * this.oldContainer is the HTMLElement of the old Container */ return $(this.oldContainer).animate({ opacity: 0 }).promise(); }, fadeIn: function() { /** * this.newContainer is the HTMLElement of the new Container * At this stage newContainer is on the DOM (inside our #barba-container and with visibility: hidden) * Please note, newContainer is available just after newContainerLoading is resolved! */ var _this = this; var $el = $(this.newContainer); $(this.oldContainer).hide(); $el.css({ visibility : 'visible', opacity : 0 }); $el.animate({ opacity: 1 }, 400, function() { /** * Do not forget to call .done() as soon your transition is finished! * .done() will automatically remove from the DOM the old Container */ _this.done(); }); } }); /** * Next step, you have to tell Barba to use the new Transition */ Barba.Pjax.getTransition = function() { /** * Here you can use your own logic! * For example you can use different Transition based on the current page or link... */ return FadeTransition; }; Now I want to integrate the following into the above for the fadeout of the page (when a link is clicked and the site goes to a new page, before the new page starts loading): TweenMax.to(".overlay-black", 1.2, {height:'100%', ease:Power4.easeInOut}); TweenMax.to(".overlay-yellow", 1.4, {height:'100%', ease:Power4.easeInOut}); TweenMax.to(".overlay-white", 1.6, {height:'100%', ease:Power4.easeInOut}); And for the fade-in after the new page has loaded TweenMax.to(".overlay-black", 1.6, {height:'0', ease:Power4.easeInOut}); TweenMax.to(".overlay-yellow", 1.4, {height:'0', ease:Power4.easeInOut}); TweenMax.to(".overlay-white", 1.2, {height:'0', ease:Power4.easeInOut}); Now the Tweenmax functions probably have to go in a timeline first? And after, any idea how I can integrate the functions into the Barba functions that handle the transitions? As you have noticed my JS is very basic and I still have a lot to learn (working on it), so it would be great if someone can help me out. Thanks!

Hello, everybody. Not so long ago I started studying GSAP and fell in love with its features. I have achieved almost everything I wanted for my project and not long ago I started to study the Barba js bibliography. My question probably concerns GSAP + Barba interaction. If you open the project and scroll through not much to a block with a project called Blue (there are guys on a moto), you can click on the photo and you will be redirected to another page, absolutely the same. Apart from the fact that the first block says: this PROJECT PAGE or this INDEX PAGE First the gsap animation is played, and then there is a transition and at this point all my scripts stop working, you can see that the base scrollbar is back and smooth animation with ScrollTrigger stopped working. I saw an example of barba + gsap + locomotivescroll, but I don't know much about it yet and I'm asking you to look specifically at my example. Help me set up my script correctly so that my animation will play, and then the page will open and all scripts will work correctly. https://codepen.io/GeorgeDesign2020/project/editor/ZLrYEY

Hi @GeS, Zach is right, I have created some Barba.js learning resources that could help you. More specifically here is an example of Barba + Smooth ScrollBar + GSAP and GitHub repo. I would recommend learning Barba.js by watching this YouTube playlist first. Hope that helps.

Hello @Jloafs Many have had their issues with barba resolved - for example those, that I linked to above. And as also mentioned above: You will [(likely)] have to kill off the old ScrollTriggers in a barba hook when transitioning to another page, and create all neccessary ScrollTriggers for the next page from scratch after transitioning. You will find examples on how to do that and some more explanation on the why in the threads [linked to].

I'm having the same problem with Barba and scrolltrigger but don't want to abandon Barba. Has anyone had that same problem and found a solution? I'm new to gsap and javascript too btw so not an advanced user by any stretch of the imagination

Hello everyone, since a few months I've been working on a wordpress website (with oxygen builder) hosted on digital ocean. Recently I added page transitions thanks to Barbajs and with GSAP I have a swipe up effect. On chrome I have no problem but on Safari the site is slow to load, I don't know if it's the videos that are slow or the GSAP or barba js. The website is currently protected on a private server I can't give you access but here is a piece of my js that calls barba and gsap : function video_text_animation() { let tl = gsap.timeline(); if (tl.scrollTrigger) { tl.scrollTrigger.kill(); } //////// Video Header title ////////////// var childSplit = new SplitText(".bloc_header--header", {type:"lines", linesClass: "bloc_header--header-child"}); var parentSplit = new SplitText(".bloc_header--header", { type: "lines", linesClass: "bloc_header--header-parent"}); var w = window.innerWidth; var size = w > 1366 ?

Thanks Zach for your response. Working link should be at - https://repl.it/@eest/GSAP-and-Barba-Rules I was wondering whether the problem was with how I was using a GSAP animation. Barba seems to be running ok and the animation is initialising but not showing. It may be a Barba problem in which case it isn't appropriate for the forum. Thanks again Zach.

two days later I did it. I wonder what it didn’t work .... maybe I made a mistake somewhere before! I've already seen such a solution on the forum. but can anyone come in handy barba.hooks.beforeLeave(() => { ScrollTrigger.getAll().forEach(trigger => trigger.kill()) }); barba.hooks.after(() => { initScrolling(); });

FLIP is pretty new for tutorials, only a few months old. Could be some, but I still don't know about them. As for barba.js you can check out ihatetomatoes. He also have some other nice courses on gsap. https://ihatetomatoes.net/get-barba-101/
