|
||||
| `"+=200%"` | 200% of viewport height after trigger |

```
|
||||
toggleActions: "play pause resume reset"
|
||||
^ ^ ^ ^

## Recipes with Copilot Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Fade-in Batch Reveal
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Using GSAP ScrollTrigger.batch, animate all .card elements:
|
||||
fade in from opacity 0, y 50 when they enter the viewport at 85%.
|
||||
Stagger 0.15s between cards. Animate once (no reverse).
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
|
||||
|
||||
ScrollTrigger.batch('.card', {
|
||||
onEnter: elements => {
|
||||
gsap.from(elements, {
|
||||
opacity: 0,
|
||||
y: 50,
|
||||
stagger: 0.15,
|
||||
duration: 0.8,
|
||||
ease: 'power2.out',
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
start: 'top 85%',
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Why `batch` over individual ScrollTriggers: batch groups elements entering together into one animation call, which is more performant than creating one ScrollTrigger per element.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Scrub Animation (scroll-linked)
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP scrub: animate .hero-image scale from 1 to 1.3 and opacity to 0
|
||||
as the user scrolls past .hero-section.
|
||||
Perfectly synced to scroll position, no pin.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
gsap.to('.hero-image', {
|
||||
scale: 1.3,
|
||||
opacity: 0,
|
||||
ease: 'none', // Critical: linear easing for scrub
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: '.hero-section',
|
||||
start: 'top top',
|
||||
end: 'bottom top',
|
||||
scrub: true,
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Pinned Timeline
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP pinned timeline: pin .story-section while a sequence plays —
|
||||
fade in .title (y: 60), scale .image to 1, slide .text from x: 80.
|
||||
Total scroll distance 300vh. Scrub 1 for smoothness.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const tl = gsap.timeline({
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: '.story-section',
|
||||
start: 'top top',
|
||||
end: '+=300%',
|
||||
pin: true,
|
||||
scrub: 1,
|
||||
anticipatePin: 1,
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
tl
|
||||
.from('.title', { opacity: 0, y: 60, duration: 1 })
|
||||
.from('.image', { scale: 0.85, opacity: 0, duration: 1 }, '-=0.3')
|
||||
.from('.text', { x: 80, opacity: 0, duration: 1 }, '-=0.3');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Parallax Layers
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP parallax: background image moves yPercent -20 (slow),
|
||||
foreground text moves yPercent -60 (fast). Both scrubbed to scroll, no pin.
|
||||
Trigger is .parallax-section, start top bottom, end bottom top.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Slow background
|
||||
gsap.to('.parallax-bg', {
|
||||
yPercent: -20,
|
||||
ease: 'none',
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: '.parallax-section',
|
||||
start: 'top bottom',
|
||||
end: 'bottom top',
|
||||
scrub: true,
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Fast foreground
|
||||
gsap.to('.parallax-fg', {
|
||||
yPercent: -60,
|
||||
ease: 'none',
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: '.parallax-section',
|
||||
start: 'top bottom',
|
||||
end: 'bottom top',
|
||||
scrub: true,
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Horizontal Scroll Section
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP horizontal scroll: 4 .panel elements inside .panels-container.
|
||||
Pin .horizontal-section, scrub 1, snap per panel.
|
||||
End should use offsetWidth so it recalculates on resize.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const sections = gsap.utils.toArray('.panel');
|
||||
|
||||
gsap.to(sections, {
|
||||
xPercent: -100 * (sections.length - 1),
|
||||
ease: 'none',
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: '.horizontal-section',
|
||||
pin: true,
|
||||
scrub: 1,
|
||||
snap: 1 / (sections.length - 1),
|
||||
end: () => `+=${document.querySelector('.panels-container').offsetWidth}`,
|
||||
invalidateOnRefresh: true,
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Required HTML:
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div class="horizontal-section">
|
||||
<div class="panels-container">
|
||||
<div class="panel">1</div>
|
||||
<div class="panel">2</div>
|
||||
<div class="panel">3</div>
|
||||
<div class="panel">4</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Required CSS:
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.horizontal-section { overflow: hidden; }
|
||||
.panels-container { display: flex; flex-wrap: nowrap; width: 400vw; }
|
||||
.panel { width: 100vw; height: 100vh; flex-shrink: 0; }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Character Stagger Text Reveal
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Split .hero-title into characters using SplitType.
|
||||
Animate each char: opacity 0→1, y 80→0, rotateX -90→0.
|
||||
Stagger 0.03s, ease back.out(1.7). Trigger when heading enters at 85%.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install split-type
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import SplitType from 'split-type';
|
||||
|
||||
const text = new SplitType('.hero-title', { types: 'chars' });
|
||||
|
||||
gsap.from(text.chars, {
|
||||
opacity: 0,
|
||||
y: 80,
|
||||
rotateX: -90,
|
||||
stagger: 0.03,
|
||||
duration: 0.6,
|
||||
ease: 'back.out(1.7)',
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: '.hero-title',
|
||||
start: 'top 85%',
|
||||
toggleActions: 'play none none none',
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Scroll Snap Sections
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP: each full-height section scales from 0.9 to 1 when it enters view.
|
||||
Also add global scroll snapping between sections using ScrollTrigger.create snap.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const sections = gsap.utils.toArray('section');
|
||||
|
||||
sections.forEach(section => {
|
||||
gsap.from(section, {
|
||||
scale: 0.9,
|
||||
opacity: 0.6,
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: section,
|
||||
start: 'top 90%',
|
||||
toggleActions: 'play none none reverse',
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
ScrollTrigger.create({
|
||||
snap: {
|
||||
snapTo: (progress) => {
|
||||
const step = 1 / (sections.length - 1);
|
||||
return Math.round(progress / step) * step;
|
||||
},
|
||||
duration: { min: 0.2, max: 0.5 },
|
||||
ease: 'power1.inOut',
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Scroll Progress Bar
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP: fixed progress bar at top of page. scaleX 0→1 linked to
|
||||
full page scroll, scrub 0.3 for slight smoothing. transformOrigin left center.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
gsap.to('.progress-bar', {
|
||||
scaleX: 1,
|
||||
ease: 'none',
|
||||
transformOrigin: 'left center',
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: document.body,
|
||||
start: 'top top',
|
||||
end: 'bottom bottom',
|
||||
scrub: 0.3,
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.progress-bar {
|
||||
position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0;
|
||||
width: 100%; height: 4px;
|
||||
background: #6366f1;
|
||||
transform-origin: left;
|
||||
transform: scaleX(0);
|
||||
z-index: 999;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. ScrollSmoother Setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Set up GSAP ScrollSmoother with smooth: 1.5, effects: true.
|
||||
Show the required wrapper HTML structure.
|
||||
Add data-speed and data-lag to parallax elements.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# ScrollSmoother is part of gsap — no extra install needed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import { ScrollSmoother } from 'gsap/ScrollSmoother';
|
||||
gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger, ScrollSmoother);
|
||||
|
||||
ScrollSmoother.create({
|
||||
wrapper: '#smooth-wrapper',
|
||||
content: '#smooth-content',
|
||||
smooth: 1.5,
|
||||
effects: true,
|
||||
smoothTouch: 0.1,
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div id="smooth-wrapper">
|
||||
<div id="smooth-content">
|
||||
<img data-speed="0.5" src="bg.jpg" /> <!-- 50% scroll speed -->
|
||||
<div data-lag="0.3" class="float">...</div> <!-- 0.3s lag -->
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 10. Animated Number Counter
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
GSAP: animate .counter elements from 0 to their data-target value
|
||||
when they enter the viewport. Duration 2s, ease power2.out.
|
||||
Format with toLocaleString. Animate once.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
document.querySelectorAll('.counter').forEach(el => {
|
||||
const obj = { val: 0 };
|
||||
gsap.to(obj, {
|
||||
val: parseInt(el.dataset.target, 10),
|
||||
duration: 2,
|
||||
ease: 'power2.out',
|
||||
onUpdate: () => { el.textContent = Math.round(obj.val).toLocaleString(); },
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: el,
|
||||
start: 'top 85%',
|
||||
toggleActions: 'play none none none',
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<span class="counter" data-target="12500">0</span>
|
||||
```

## React Integration (useGSAP)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install gsap @gsap/react
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```jsx
|
||||
import { useRef } from 'react';
|
||||
import { useGSAP } from '@gsap/react';
|
||||
import gsap from 'gsap';
|
||||
import { ScrollTrigger } from 'gsap/ScrollTrigger';
|
||||
|
||||
gsap.registerPlugin(useGSAP, ScrollTrigger);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why useGSAP instead of useEffect:**
|
||||
`useGSAP` automatically kills all ScrollTriggers created inside it when the component unmounts — preventing memory leaks. It also handles React strict mode's double-invoke correctly. Think of it as a drop-in replacement for `useLayoutEffect` that GSAP understands.
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
React: use useGSAP from @gsap/react to animate .card elements inside containerRef.
|
||||
Fade in from y 60, opacity 0, stagger 0.12, scrollTrigger start top 80%.
|
||||
Scope to containerRef so selectors don't match outside this component.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```jsx
|
||||
export function AnimatedSection() {
|
||||
const containerRef = useRef(null);
|
||||
|
||||
useGSAP(() => {
|
||||
gsap.from('.card', {
|
||||
opacity: 0,
|
||||
y: 60,
|
||||
stagger: 0.12,
|
||||
duration: 0.7,
|
||||
ease: 'power2.out',
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: containerRef.current,
|
||||
start: 'top 80%',
|
||||
toggleActions: 'play none none none',
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
}, { scope: containerRef });
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<div ref={containerRef}>
|
||||
<div className="card">One</div>
|
||||
<div className="card">Two</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pinned timeline in React:**
|
||||
```jsx
|
||||
export function PinnedStory() {
|
||||
const sectionRef = useRef(null);
|
||||
|
||||
useGSAP(() => {
|
||||
const tl = gsap.timeline({
|
||||
scrollTrigger: {
|
||||
trigger: sectionRef.current,
|
||||
pin: true, scrub: 1,
|
||||
start: 'top top', end: '+=200%',
|

}
|

});
|

tl.from('.story-title', { opacity: 0, y: 40 })
|

.from('.story-image', { scale: 0.85, opacity: 0 }, '-=0.2')

|

<p className="story-text">The story begins.</p>

**Next.js note:** Run `gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger)` inside a `useGSAP` or `useLayoutEffect` — or guard it:
|
||||
```js
|
||||
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
|
||||
```

## Lenis Smooth Scroll
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install lenis
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Integrate Lenis smooth scroll with GSAP ScrollTrigger.
|
||||
Add lenis.raf to gsap.ticker. Set lagSmoothing to 0.
|
||||
Destroy lenis on unmount if in React.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import Lenis from 'lenis';
|
||||
import { useEffect } from 'react';
|
||||
|
||||
const lenis = new Lenis({ duration: 1.2, smoothWheel: true });
|
||||
|
||||
const raf = (time) => lenis.raf(time * 1000);
|
||||
gsap.ticker.add(raf);
|
||||
gsap.ticker.lagSmoothing(0);
|
||||
lenis.on('scroll', ScrollTrigger.update);
|
||||
|
||||
// React cleanup
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
return () => {
|
||||
lenis.destroy();
|
||||
gsap.ticker.remove(raf);
|
||||
};
|
||||
}, []);
|
||||
```

## Responsive with matchMedia
|
||||
|
||||
**Copilot Chat Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Use gsap.matchMedia to animate x: 200 on desktop (min-width: 768px)
|
||||
and y: 100 on mobile. Both should skip animation if prefers-reduced-motion is set.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const mm = gsap.matchMedia();
|
||||
|
||||
mm.add({
|
||||
isDesktop: '(min-width: 768px)',
|
||||
isMobile: '(max-width: 767px)',
|
||||
noMotion: '(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)',
|
||||
}, context => {
|
||||
const { isDesktop, isMobile, noMotion } = context.conditions;
|
||||
if (noMotion) return;
|
||||
|
||||
gsap.from('.box', {
|
||||
x: isDesktop ? 200 : 0,
|
||||
y: isMobile ? 100 : 0,
|
||||
opacity: 0,
|
||||
scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.box', start: 'top 80%' }
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Accessibility
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Guard all scroll animations with prefers-reduced-motion
|
||||
const prefersReducedMotion = window.matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)');
|
||||
|
||||
if (!prefersReducedMotion.matches) {
|
||||
gsap.from('.box', {
|
||||
opacity: 0, y: 50,
|
||||
scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.box', start: 'top 85%' }
|
||||
});
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Show element immediately, no animation
|
||||
gsap.set('.box', { opacity: 1, y: 0 });
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or use `gsap.matchMedia()` with `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` condition (see above).
|
||||

||||
## Performance & Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Kill a specific trigger
|
||||
const st = ScrollTrigger.create({ ... });
|
||||
st.kill();
|
||||
|
||||
// Kill all triggers (e.g., on page transition)
|
||||
ScrollTrigger.killAll();
|
||||
|
||||
// Refresh all trigger positions (after dynamic content loads)
|
||||
ScrollTrigger.refresh();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance rules:**
|
||||
- Only animate `transform` and `opacity` — GPU-accelerated, no layout recalculation
|
||||
- Avoid animating `width`, `height`, `top`, `left`, `box-shadow`, `filter`
|
||||
- Use `ScrollTrigger.batch()` for many similar elements — far better than one trigger per element
|
||||
- Add `will-change: transform` sparingly — only on actively animating elements
|
||||
- Always remove `markers: true` before production
|
||||

## Common Copilot Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
**Forgot registerPlugin:** Copilot often omits `gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger)`.
|
||||
Always add it before any ScrollTrigger usage.
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrong ease for scrub:** Copilot defaults to `power2.out` even on scrub animations.
|
||||
Always use `ease: 'none'` when `scrub: true` or `scrub: number`.
|
||||
|
||||
**useEffect instead of useGSAP in React:** Copilot generates `useEffect` — always swap to `useGSAP`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Static end value for horizontal scroll:** Copilot writes `end: "+=" + container.offsetWidth`.
|
||||
Correct: `end: () => "+=" + container.offsetWidth` (function form recalculates on resize).
|
||||
|
||||
**markers left in production:** Copilot adds `markers: true` and leaves it. Always remove.
|
||||
|
||||
**Scrub without pin on long animations:** Scrubbing a long timeline without pinning means
|
||||
the element scrolls out of view. Add `pin: true` or shorten the scroll distance.
