gsap-animations

GSAP scroll-linked animations in React use ScrollTrigger for section reveals and pinned storytelling, scoped via useGSAP to keep toggle behaviors aligned to scroll position. Batch triggers and use transform-based animations for smooth production performance.

GSAP timeline sequencing chains hero reveals, overlaps, and precise timing using gsap.timeline for deterministic motion across complex UI states. Explicit duration and easing choices keep production timeline animations predictable and polished.

GSAP SplitText animates typography by chars, words, or lines, while MorphSVG creates dynamic SVG path transitions for high-impact storytelling. Both are gated plugin features used within React via useGSAP for scoped, production-ready motion.

GSAP animation performance issues on scroll often stem from unbatched triggers and layout thrashing. Apply batching, use transform-based animations, and follow cleanup practices with useGSAP in React to keep production websites smooth.

GSAP works with React for production web animation patterns by using useGSAP for scoped integration, ensuring proper cleanup and batching of many triggers. This prevents janky scroll effects and timeline chaos in complex UI motion work.

Avoid GSAP for web animations when simple CSS transitions suffice or when gated plugins like SplitText and MorphSVG are unavailable. For complex timeline sequencing and scroll-linked storytelling requiring deterministic motion, GSAP remains the appropriate choice.
