Hello GreenSock
Written on October 31, 2019
GreenSock is an awesome animation library. I will say hello to GreenSock with the react app.
- Create a brand new react app with
npx create-react-app greensock cd greensock npm install gsap code . npm start
2. Create components
folder in src
and inside it create animation.js
3. Open /components/animation.js and create Greensock component
- First import React and TweenMax
- Define TweenMax when component mount.
- TweenMax have from() method, which is basically it starting style.
- TweenMax have to() method, which is declare its end state.
After Implementing these steps in animation.js, it will be –
import React from "react"; import TweenMax from "gsap/TweenMax"; class GreensockAnimation extends React.Component { componentDidMount(){ TweenMax.from(".greensock-animation", 1, {x:-100, opacity: 0, height: 0}); TweenMax.to(".greensock-animation", 3, {x:0, opacity: 1, height: 50}); } render(){ return ( <div className="greensock-animation"> <p>GreensockAnimation</p> </div> ) } } export default GreensockAnimation;
4. Open /App.js.
a. Import GreensockAnimation from ./components/animations
b. Use GreensockAnimation component before the header
Final look of my App.js is –
import React from 'react'; import logo from './logo.svg'; import './App.css'; import GreensockAnimation from "./components/animation"; function App() { return ( <div className="App"> <GreensockAnimation /> <header className="App-header"> <img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" /> <p> Edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload. </p> <a className="App-link" href="https://reactjs.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" > Learn React </a> </header> </div> ); } export default App;
The demo looks like a simple handshake with the GreenSock animation library.
