- # Frameworks other than React
2
-
3
- GSAP has no framework. What changes between frameworks is only **where an
4
- animation is created and where it is torn down** — the lifecycle. Everything
5
- else in this skill applies unchanged: motion design, timelines, ScrollTrigger,
6
- SVG, text, Flip, performance and accessibility.
7
-
8
- One pattern sits under every framework below:
9
-
10
- 1. Create animations inside `gsap.context(fn, root)`, so selector strings
11
- resolve inside the component's own root element.
12
- 2. Build the reduced-motion branch with `gsap.matchMedia()` inside that context,
13
- so it goes with it.
14
- 3. Call `ctx.revert()` when the component goes away. That undoes every tween,
15
- ScrollTrigger, SplitText and matchMedia created inside, and restores inline
16
- styles.
17
-
18
- Timers, raw `addEventListener` calls and observers are not GSAP's — clear them
19
- yourself in the same cleanup.
20
-
21
- ## Vanilla JavaScript
22
-
23
- ```js
24
- import gsap from "gsap";
25
- import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger";
26
-
27
- gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
28
-
29
- export function mountReveal(root) {
30
- const ctx = gsap.context(() => {
31
- const mm = gsap.matchMedia();
32
- mm.add(
33
- {
34
- motion: "(prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)",
35
- reduced: "(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)",
36
- },
37
- ({ conditions }) => {
38
- if (conditions.reduced) {
39
- gsap.set("[data-item]", { autoAlpha: 1, y: 0 });
40
- return;
41
- }
42
- gsap.from("[data-item]", {
43
- autoAlpha: 0,
44
- y: 24,
45
- stagger: { amount: 0.4 },
46
- scrollTrigger: { trigger: root, start: "top 75%" },
47
- });
48
- },
49
- );
50
- }, root);
51
-
52
- return () => ctx.revert(); // call when root is removed
53
- }
54
- ```
55
-
56
- A static page that never removes the element can skip the cleanup. Anything that
57
- swaps content — a client-side router, HTMX, Turbo, a modal — cannot.
58
-
59
- ## Vue 3 and Nuxt
60
-
61
- ```vue
62
- <script setup>
63
- import gsap from "gsap";
64
- import { onMounted, onUnmounted, ref } from "vue";
65
-
66
- const root = ref(null);
67
- let ctx;
68
-
69
- onMounted(() => {
70
- ctx = gsap.context(() => {
71
- gsap.from("[data-item]", { autoAlpha: 0, y: 24, stagger: 0.06 });
72
- }, root.value);
73
- });
74
-
75
- onUnmounted(() => ctx?.revert());
76
- </script>
77
-
78
- <template>
79
- <section ref="root">…</section>
80
- </template>
81
- ```
82
-
83
- - `onMounted` never runs during server rendering, so this is safe under Nuxt as
84
- written.
85
- - Animation that reacts to state belongs in a `watch` that adds its tweens to
86
- the same context with `ctx.add(() => { … })`, so they are reverted with it.
87
-
88
- ## Svelte
89
-
90
- ```svelte
91
- <script>
92
- import gsap from "gsap";
93
- import { onMount } from "svelte";
94
-
95
- let root;
96
-
97
- onMount(() => {
98
- const ctx = gsap.context(() => {
99
- gsap.from("[data-item]", { autoAlpha: 0, y: 24, stagger: 0.06 });
100
- }, root);
101
- return () => ctx.revert();
102
- });
103
- </script>
104
-
105
- <section bind:this={root}>…</section>
106
- ```
107
-
108
- A function returned from `onMount` runs when the component is destroyed.
109
- `onMount` does not run during server rendering. The markup uses Svelte's
110
- classic syntax; check how your Svelte version declares a `bind:this` variable
111
- before copying it.
112
-
113
- ## Astro
114
-
115
- An Astro `<script>` runs once. With view transitions enabled, the page is
116
- swapped without a reload, so build on each page load and revert before each
117
- swap:
118
-
119
- ```astro
120
- <script>
121
- import gsap from "gsap";
122
-
123
- let ctx;
124
-
125
- document.addEventListener("astro:page-load", () => {
126
- ctx = gsap.context(() => {
127
- gsap.from("[data-item]", { autoAlpha: 0, y: 24, stagger: 0.06 });
128
- });
129
- });
130
-
131
- document.addEventListener("astro:before-swap", () => ctx?.revert());
132
- </script>
133
- ```
134
-
135
- Inside a React, Vue or Svelte island, use that framework's section instead.
136
-
137
- ## Mounting twice
138
-
139
- Selector strings are scoped to the context's root, but `motionPath.path` and
140
- `morphSVG.shape` are resolved by the plugins against the whole document. A
141
- component rendered twice with a hardcoded id drives the first instance's
142
- geometry. Generate an id per instance in every framework, not only React.
143
-
144
- ## What the audit covers here
145
-
146
- - `audit-gsap.mjs` reads `.js`, `.ts`, `.jsx`, `.tsx` and `.mjs` files only.
147
- Logic inside `.vue`, `.svelte` or `.astro` files is not scanned — keep the
148
- animation in a sibling module, like `mountReveal` above, if you want it
149
- checked.
150
- - Its React-specific rules — `orphan-tween`, `state-per-event` and
151
- `shared-plugin-id` — apply only to React files. The rest apply to every file
152
- it reads: cost, loops, scrub, listeners, unmanaged instances, plugin
153
- registration, reduced motion and shipped dev tooling.

- body re-runs when they change; `revertOnUpdate: true` also reverts the previous
45
- run first.
46
-
47
- Being a layout effect matters: it runs **before paint**, so a `from` or a `set`
48
- lands without a flash of the end state.
49
-
50
- ## `contextSafe`
51
-
52
- Anything that creates a tween *outside* the hook body — an event handler, a
53
- promise, a callback — is created outside the context and never reverted.
54
-
55
- ```ts
56
- const { contextSafe } = useGSAP(() => { ... }, { scope: root });
57
-
58
- const onEnter = contextSafe(() => {
59
- gsap.to(el.current, { scale: 1.05 }); // now owned by the context
60
- });
61
- ```
62
-
63
- Two things to get right:
64
-
65
- - **Only wrap functions that create animations.** Playing a timeline that
66
- already exists creates nothing and needs no wrapper.
67
- - **`contextSafe` runs during render.** Reading a ref inside the callback you
68
- pass it trips React's "cannot access refs during render" lint rule. Build the
69
- timeline inside the hook body, keep it on a ref, and expose a plain
70
- `useCallback` that plays it.
71
-
72
- ## Refs, never state
73
-
74
- React state for a value that changes every frame is a re-render per frame.
75
-
76
- ```ts
77
- // Wrong
78
- const [x, setX] = useState(0);
79
- onMouseMove = (e) => setX(e.clientX);
80
-
81
- // Right
82
- const moveX = gsap.quickTo(el.current, "x", { duration: 0.5, ease: "power3" });
83
- onMouseMove = (e) => moveX(e.clientX);
84
- ```
85
-
86
- State is for *what exists* — is the modal open, which tab is active. GSAP owns
87
- *how it moves*. Crossing that line is the most common performance bug in
88
- animated React.
89
-
90
- ## The RSC boundary
91
-
92
- A component that animates is `"use client"`. Keep it a leaf so the page above it
93
- stays a Server Component.
94
-
95
- **If the target is currently a Server Component, converting it is part of the
96
- cost, and you have to price it before you design.** Two questions:
97
-
98
- 1. *Is the library already on this route?* Grep for existing GSAP use in the
99
- sections the page renders. If a sibling already loads `gsap` and
100
- `ScrollTrigger`, the marginal cost is this component's own JS — a kilobyte or
101
- two — rather than thirty-odd. That usually settles the argument. If nothing
102
- on the route loads GSAP yet, this animation is buying the whole library for
103
- one reveal, and it had better be worth it.
104
- 2. *Does anything claim otherwise?* A comment saying the section ships no client
105
- JavaScript stops being true the moment you add the hook. Update it in the
106
- same change — a stale claim in a docblock is worse than none, because the
107
- next person believes it.
108
-
109
- State both in the Notes section of your answer. "It becomes a client component"
110
- is a fact the reader needs, not a detail.
111
-
112
- ### Reaching the element
113
-
114
- A shared component that does not forward props has nowhere to hang a `data-*`
115
- attribute. Widening it to take the rest of its element's props is usually right
116
- and is often already the house pattern — check a sibling before inventing one.
117
- Finding the element positionally instead (`row.firstElementChild`,
118
- `querySelectorAll("path")[3]`) is a selector that breaks silently the next time
119
- the markup moves.
120
-
121
- Two consequences worth planning for:
122
-
123
- - **Data and copy come down as props.** A client component importing a content
124
- or locale module bundles every locale into the browser payload. Resolve on the
125
- server, pass what the visitor needs. The same applies to large generated data
126
- — path tables, keyframe sets: hand them down rather than importing them
127
- client-side.
128
- - **`"use client"` module scope still runs during SSR.** Registering plugins
129
- there is fine — GSAP defers anything touching `window` — but reading `window`
130
- or `document` at module scope is not.
131
-
132
- ## Reading the environment
133
-
134
- Read direction and preferences from the DOM inside the effect, not from a
135
- prop or a locale constant:
136
-
137
- ```ts
138
- const isRtl = document.documentElement.dir === "rtl";
139
- ```
140
-
141
- The layout stamps `dir` before first paint, and reading it there keeps the hook
142
- independent of the i18n library.
143
-
144
- ## Cleanup: what the context already owns
145
-
146
- Wider than it is usually given credit for, and worth knowing precisely —
147
- otherwise you write cleanup that does nothing and still miss the real leaks.
148
-
149
- While a context's function runs, GSAP points `_context` at that context, and
150
- these register themselves with it on construction. `context.revert()` then
151
- reverts them:
152
-
153
- - tweens and timelines
154
- - `ScrollTrigger`
155
- - `Observer`
156
- - `Draggable`
157
- - `SplitText`
158
- - `gsap.matchMedia()`
159
-
160
- So inside a `useGSAP` body, none of those need a manual `.kill()` or
161
- `.revert()`. An explicit one is redundant rather than wrong.
162
-
163
- **These are genuinely yours**, because GSAP never sees them:
164
-
165
- - `setTimeout` / `setInterval` — clear them
166
- - `addEventListener` on `window` or `document` — remove them
167
- - `ResizeObserver` / `IntersectionObserver` — `.disconnect()`
168
- - Three.js geometries, materials, textures — dispose them
169
- - **anything created outside the context body** — module scope, a plain
170
- `useEffect`, or a handler that never went through `contextSafe`. That last one
171
- is the real leak, and the one people write cleanup for the wrong things
172
- instead of catching.
173
-
174
- ```ts
175
- useGSAP(() => {
176
- const mm = gsap.matchMedia(); // reverted with the context
177
- const io = new ResizeObserver(onResize); // not — disconnect it
178
- mm.add({ ... }, () => { ... });
179
- io.observe(root.current!);
180
- return () => io.disconnect();
181
- }, { scope: root });
182
- ```
183
-
184
- `node .claude/skills/gsap-creative-animation/scripts/audit-gsap.mjs <path>`
185
- checks this distinction, among others.
186
-
187
- ## Unique ids
188
-
189
- A scope does **not** reach inside plugin config. `motionPath.path` and
190
- `morphSVG.shape` are resolved by the plugin against the whole document, so a
191
- hardcoded id in a component rendered twice makes both instances drive the first
192
- one's geometry — silently.
193
-
194
- ```ts
195
- const uid = `rs${useId().replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, "")}`;
196
- ```
197
-
198
- React's generated id carries delimiters a CSS selector cannot hold, so strip it
199
- to word characters. It is stable across server and client, which a counter is
200
- not. Then `id={`${uid}-track`}` in the markup and `#${uid}-track` in the config.
201
-
202
- ## Route transitions
203
-
204
- The App Router unmounts the old tree before the new one paints, so an exit
205
- animation has nowhere to play. Options, in order of how much they cost:
206
-
207
- 1. **Animate entrance only.** Keyed off `usePathname()`. Honest, cheap, and what
208
- most sites actually want.
209
- 2. **An overlay that outlives the route.** Mounted in the layout, so it is not
210
- unmounted by the navigation. See [page-transition](../preset/page-transition.md).
211
- 3. **`router.push` behind a played-out timeline.** Intercept, play the exit,
212
- navigate on complete. Breaks the back button's feel — use sparingly.
213
-
214
- After any navigation, call `ScrollTrigger.refresh()` once the new layout has
215
- settled.
216
-
217
- ## Hydration
218
-
219
- Anything read from `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, or `matchMedia` during
220
- render makes the server and client disagree. Render the neutral state, then
221
- correct it in the layout effect — before paint, so nothing is seen.
222
-
223
- ## Failures
224
-
225
- | Symptom | Cause |
226
- |---|---|
227
- | Animation runs twice in dev | tweens created outside `useGSAP` — StrictMode |
228
- | Animation leaks after navigation | ScrollTrigger or listener created outside the scope |
229
- | Flash of the end state | `from` outside a layout effect |
230
- | Two components animate each other | missing `scope`, or a shared hardcoded id |
231
- | Hydration mismatch | storage or media query read during render |
232
- | Janky pointer effect | React state in the handler |
233
- | Hover sticks halfway | no `overwrite: "auto"` on the retriggered tween |
234
- | `gsap.set` lands but `gsap.to` sits mid-flight — only under test | the harness waited on a timer while rAF was throttled, so the ticker never ran. Not a lifecycle bug: wait in frames — see "Timing in milliseconds, settling in frames" in performance.md |
