How can I create interactive animations using JavaScript?

You can create interactive animations in JavaScript using libraries like GSAP or by manipulating the DOM with CSS transitions.

What is GSAP and how does it work?

GSAP, or GreenSock Animation Platform, is a powerful JavaScript library for creating high-performance animations. It allows you to animate CSS properties, SVG, and more with ease.

Can you show me a simple example of an animation?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const box = document.getElementById('box');

box.addEventListener('click', () => {
  box.style.transition = 'transform 0.5s';
  box.style.transform = 'translateX(100px)';
});

This code moves a box 100 pixels to the right when clicked.

What are some best practices for creating animations?

Some best practices include keeping animations smooth and subtle, using easing functions for natural movement, and ensuring animations enhance user experience without being distracting.
