GSAP Text Reveal: A Designer’s and Developer’s Guide

in the dynamic realm of web design and development, every pixel and animation carries the potential to captivate and engage users. Imagine a website where text gracefully reveals itself, creating an immersive and modern user experience. This is where GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) comes into play, unraveling a world of possibilities for both designers and developers. Let’s embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the intricate art of text reveal with GSAP and the exquisite finesse brought to the forefront by the innovative Splite type

The Intricacies of GSAP Text Reveal Animation:

GSAP stands tall as an animation library that empowers designers and developers to breathe life into web elements. Its prowess lies not only in its simplicity but also in its ability to create intricate animations that elevate user experience. When it comes to text reveal, GSAP takes center stage, allowing for a seamless unveiling of content that captures attention.

GSAP Text Reveal Animation Example:

Below is a simple example of GSAP text reveal using Splite type. To implement this example, you need to include the GSAP library in your project. You can either download it from the GSAP website or include it directly from a content delivery network (CDN).

Step 1: Set Up Your HTML Document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>GSAP Text Reveal Example</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> 
</head>
<body>
  <h1 class="my-text">This text will be animated!</h1>

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.1.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/3.11.4/gsap.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/split-type"></script>
  <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Create a Separate Stylesheet (styles.css)

.my-text {
    font-size: 40px;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
    overflow: hidden;
  }
  .my-text .char {
    transform: translateY(100%);
  }
  

Step 3: Write JavaScript (script.js)

$( document ).ready(function() {
    let myText = new SplitType('.my-text');
    let tl = new TimelineMax();

    tl.to('.my-text .char', {
            y: 0,
            stagger: 0.02,
            duration: 0.2
        });
    });
