GSAP ScrollTrigger plugin in React
Tech: JavaScript, ReactJS, GSAP, Scrollytelling
Scrollytelling can be complicated to implement on a website without the use of scroll driven animation libraries. These libraries provide a simple interface for creating different interactions on the scroll and improving user experience.
Over the years, there has been a significant improvement in scroll driven animation libraries that power scrollytelling in JavaScript. From the launch of SuperScrollorama by John Polacek in 2013 to ScrollMagic by Jan Paepke in 2014, and the recent announcement of ScrollTrigger by GSAP in 2020.
ScrollTrigger is the reinvention of scroll-driven animation but in a more suitable and user-friendly way, giving you the ability to control the flow of GSAP animations or any other thing while scrolling.
In this talk, attendees will learn about the GSAP ScrollTrigger plugin, how to use it to trigger animations on the scroll in React, and the use cases for it.
