clip-rect v1.2.0

clip-rect

clip-rect is an helper to create clip rect animation with Greensock.

Clip animations are nice, but sometimes they are hard to manage; clip-path: inset() is not supported everywhere, and clip: rect() is painful to handle and it doesn't supports percentage values.

This little helper aims to make rect animations easier w/Greensock GSAP.

Usage

npm install clip-rect

new ClipRect(HTMLElement[, options]);

It returns a GSAP TweenLite.to call which can be used in GSAP timelines.

options is an optional argument which can contain an object with different options:

Example

var el = document.getElementById('box');

new ClipRect(el, {
    from: ClipRect.RIGHT,
    to: ClipRect.LEFT,
    duration: 1,
    reverse: true,
    clearProps: false
 });

Example with timeline

var el = document.getElementById('box');
var tl = new TimelineLite();

tl.to(el, 1, { backgroundColor: 'blue' });

tl.add(new ClipRect(el, {
  from: ClipRect.TOP,
  to: ClipRect.BOTTOM,
  duration: 1,
  reverse: true,
  clearProps: false
}));

tl.add(new ClipRect(el, {
  from: ClipRect.LEFT,
  to: ClipRect.RIGHT,
  duration: 1
}));

tl.add(new ClipRect(el, {
  from: ClipRect.TOP,
  to: ClipRect.BOTTOM,
  reverse: true,
  clearProps: false
}));
