SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a collection of pure helper utilities under gsap.utils for performing common value transformations in animations, such as clamping, mapping, normalizing, interpolating, and snapping, reducing boilerplate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clamping and range transformations: easily constrain numbers to a range and map values from one range to another during animations or interactions.
  • Value composition and color handling: compose transforms, interpolate colors or objects, and split colors for component-wise animation.
  • Real-world use case: normalize scroll progress to a 0–360 rotation and snap it to grid steps for a responsive UI with smooth motion.

Quick Start

Import GSAP and begin using gsap.utils for clamping, mapping, normalization, and snapping in your animation logic.

Frequently Asked Questions about gsap-utils

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I clamp and map values to a specific range during GSAP animations?▼

GSAP utility methods like clamp and mapRange constrain values to specific boundaries and translate numbers from one range to another, reducing boilerplate code in animation scripts and ScrollTrigger callbacks.

What is the best way to normalize scroll progress for UI state calculations?▼

Normalizing scroll progress with GSAP utils translates scroll position into a zero-to-one range, enabling consistent value transforms across multiple targets and events during responsive UI interactions.

Can I interpolate colors and objects component-wise using GSAP utility methods?▼

GSAP utils support interpolating colors and objects while splitting colors for component-wise animation, allowing granular control over value composition and color handling within animation logic.

How do I snap animation values to grid steps in ScrollTrigger callbacks?▼

Snapping values with GSAP utils rounds numbers to defined grid steps or increments, ensuring smooth motion and consistent value alignment when calculating UI states in ScrollTrigger callbacks.

Do I need external dependencies to use GSAP utility methods for value transformations?▼

GSAP utility methods for clamping, mapping, normalizing, interpolating, and snapping are pure helper functions requiring no external dependencies, designed for direct use in animation scripts.
