SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

GSAP utilities provide a collection of math and data-handling helpers (clamp, mapRange, normalize, interpolate, random, snap, toArray, wrap, distribute) to simplify and stabilize GSAP animation logic and reduce boilerplate and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clamp values to a range in tweens and callbacks to enforce limits.
  • mapRange / normalize / interpolate for converting inputs (e.g., scroll progress, user input) to animation ranges.
  • random / snap for controlled randomness and grid-aligned motion in timelines.
  • toArray / selector helpers for robust target handling and list processing.
  • distribute / wrap for staggered values, circular ranges, and grid-aware animations.

Quick Start

Use gsap.utils to clamp values, map ranges, normalize inputs, and snap or interpolate in your GSAP animations.

Frequently Asked Questions about gsap-utils

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map scroll progress to an animation range in GSAP?

To map scroll progress to an animation range in GSAP, use the gsap.utils.mapRange helper. It converts incoming input values into normalized animation ranges for precise scroll-driven timeline control.

How do I clamp values in a GSAP tween to enforce limits?

You can clamp values in a GSAP tween using the gsap.utils.clamp helper. It restricts outputs to a specified range, ensuring animation callbacks and values never exceed defined limits.

What is the best way to generate controlled randomness for timeline animations?

The best way to generate controlled randomness for timeline animations is using gsap.utils.random. It provides stable randomization within GSAP logic, reducing boilerplate and preventing unpredictable timeline errors.

Does GSAP provide utilities for array handling and target selection?

Yes, GSAP provides utilities for array handling and target selection via gsap.utils.toArray and selector helpers. They ensure robust list processing and reliable target handling during complex animations.

Why use GSAP utility helpers for interpolation and snapping?

Use GSAP utility helpers for interpolation and snapping to stabilize complex animation logic. gsap.utils.interpolate and snap reduce boilerplate and errors when handling grid-aligned motion and value conversion.

When do I need to use wrap or distribute helpers in GSAP animations?

You need to use wrap or distribute helpers in GSAP animations when creating circular ranges, staggered values, and grid-aware motion. These gsap.utils helpers simplify complex array distribution for timelines.
