How can I use GSAP with Vue lifecycle hooks?

You can integrate GSAP animations in Vue by using lifecycle hooks like mounted and updated. For example, in the mounted hook, you can trigger animations once the component is rendered.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! In your Vue component, you can do something like this:

mounted() {
  gsap.to(this.$refs.box, { duration: 1, x: 100 });
}

This will animate a box reference to move 100 pixels to the right when the component mounts.

What if I want to animate on data change?

You can use the updated lifecycle hook. For instance:

updated() {
  gsap.to(this.$refs.box, { duration: 0.5, scale: 1.5 });
}

This will scale the box whenever the component updates.

Are there any performance considerations?

Yes, be cautious with animations in the updated hook, as frequent updates can lead to performance issues. Consider using throttling or debouncing.
