SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you apply GSAP’s utility helpers correctly so you can transform values, manage collections, and build reusable animation logic without rewriting common math and parsing code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Value Mapping and Normalization: Clamp, map, normalize, interpolate, wrap, and snap numeric or color values for animation workflows.
  • Randomization and Distribution: Generate reusable random values, shuffle arrays, and distribute properties across targets for staggered effects.
  • Unit and Collection Utilities: Extract units, append units, scope selectors, convert inputs to arrays, and compose helper functions for cleaner code.
  • Use Case: You need to map scroll progress to rotation, snap positions to a grid, and apply the same helper logic across many targets in a GSAP animation.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to explain or write GSAP code that uses gsap.utils helpers for clamping, mapping, snapping, or array handling in your animation.

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 a rotation value using GSAP utilities?

GSAP utility helpers like mapRange and interpolate map scroll progress to rotation by normalizing input values and scaling them to your target range. You can apply these reusable functions across multiple targets in your animation callbacks.

What is the best way to clamp and snap animation values to a grid in GSAP?

GSAP utils clamp and snap functions restrict values to defined boundaries and grid increments. This ensures animation targets align precisely to grid positions without requiring additional plugin registration.

Can I generate reusable random values and shuffle arrays for GSAP staggers?

GSAP utils random generates reusable random values, shuffles arrays, and distributes properties across targets. This enables complex staggered animation effects without rewriting custom math logic.

Do I need to register a GSAP plugin to use utility helpers like toArray and selector?

GSAP utility helpers like toArray and selector do not require plugin registration. You can convert inputs to arrays and scope selectors directly within your animation code for collection handling.

How does the pipe function compose helper logic for GSAP animation callbacks?

GSAP utils pipe composes multiple helper functions into a single reusable function for cleaner code. This allows you to chain value transformations like clamping and snapping within tween logic.

Why does my GSAP unit parsing fail when mapping numeric values in animations?

GSAP utils handle unit parsing by extracting and appending units to numeric values during mapping. Using the correct reusable function forms ensures proper unit conversion without breaking animation logic.
