GSAP Promisify

Replace GSAP TweenMax or TweenLite callback for promises. This is an improved version of the npm package gsap-lite-promise.

This package doesn't include GSAP to decouple the hard dependency to the package versions and to improve it flexibility.

require('gsap/src/uncompressed/TweenMax.js');

const animate = require('gsap-promisify')(Promise, window.TweenMax);

Promise.all([animate(element, 1.0, { x: 10 }), animate(element, 1.0, { y: 10, delay: 0.5 })]).then(function() {
  console.log('all animations finished');
});

Arguments

First Argument - Promise

Select your favorite Promise framework and send it as an argument. Is recommended the use of native Promise and in its default the polyfill.

Second Argument - TweenModule

Send TweenMax or TweenLite. Instead of work with an internal version of gsap, maybe different than the one you are currently using in your project, just send your version and we will promisify that gsap module.

Example

Customizing the GSAP implementation to use the built in minified sources and adding a staggerTo the implementation.

require('gsap/src/minified/plugins/CSSPlugin.min.js');
require('gsap/src/minified/plugins/ScrollToPlugin.min.js');
require('gsap/src/minified/TweenLite.min.js');
const animate = require('gsap-promisify')(Promise, window.TweenLite);
animate.staggerTo = function(els, duration, props, delay) {
  return Promise.all(
    els.map((el, i) =>
      animate.to(el, duration, {
        ...props,
        delay: props.delay + delay * i
      })
    )
  );
};

Usage

This promisifies the TweenLite | TweenMax methods: to, from, set and fromTo.

animate.to(element, duration, params)

animate.from(element, duration, from)

animate.set(element, params)

animate.fromTo(element, duration, from, to)

Matches the TweenLite | TweenMax methods by the same name, but returns a Promise for the onComplete event.

animate.all(element)

An alias for Promise.all, which will trigger all tweens in parallel.

animate(element, duration, params)

The default export is the same as animate.to.
