🍀How to add a GSAP animation

Embed GSAP library on the page

1. Add HTML Embed Component to the canvas

2. Activate "Client Only" setting

3. Optionally activate "Run script on canvas" setting

4. Open GSAP official installation instruction

5. Copy the scripts into HTML Embed Code in Settings

Example

Attention! You do not need the "DOMContentLoaded" event. In Webstudio, clicking on links will navigate your pages without a full reload. This makes it very fast, but it also means there will be no "DOMContentLoaded" event after the initial load.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.12.5/dist/gsap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.12.5/dist/Flip.min.js"></script>
<script>
  gsap.registerPlugin(Flip);
  gsap.fromTo(".animation", {opacity: 0}, {
    opacity: 1, 
    duration: 1, 
    stagger: 0.1, 
    ease: "power2.inOut"
  });  
</script>

Q&A

How to reuse the animation on multiple pages?

You can reuse the animation using Slot component

Can I use the Custom Code from project settings to include GSAP on all pages?

While you can add the library in the HEAD in project settings, this HTML won't run in preview, so you can't test inside the builder. Additionally, if you use async or defer attributes, there is no guarantee that your HTML Embed scripts on the page won't run before the library is loaded. If you don't use defer or async attributes, you will slow down your site by blocking the rendering until the library is loaded.
