Looping Web Animations with GreenSock: Repeat and Yoyo Effects

Captivating web interfaces often rely on subtle, continuous animations to draw attention and guide users. Understanding how to control these repetitive motions efficiently is a fundamental skill for modern front-end developers. This text-only course guides you through the core concepts of looping animations using GreenSock (GSAP). You will transition from writing basic single-run tweens to crafting sophisticated, infinitely repeating visual effects using clean, modern JavaScript. What you'll learn: - Understand the core terminology of timelines, tweens, and playhead control in GSAP. - Configure the repeat property to control animation cycles precisely. - Apply the yoyo property to create natural, back-and-forth reversing motions. - Implement modern GSAP syntax and ES6 modules for clean, maintainable code. - Respect user preferences by integrating accessibility checks like prefers-reduced-motion. - Practice building real-world looping patterns such as pulsing buttons and hovering elements. You will start with foundational animation definitions and setup before moving on to practical code walkthroughs. Through clear explanations and written code exercises, you will learn to structure and fine-tune your loops step-by-step. This course is designed for beginner web developers and designers with basic HTML and CSS knowledge; no prior animation experience is required.
