What is ScrollTrigger and how can I use it?

ScrollTrigger is a JavaScript library by GSAP that allows you to create animations based on the scroll position of the page.

Can you give me an example of how to implement it?

Sure! First, include the GSAP and ScrollTrigger scripts in your HTML. Then, you can create a simple animation like this:

gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);

gsap.to('.box', { 
  scrollTrigger: { 
    trigger: '.box', 
    start: 'top center', 
    end: 'top 100px', 
    scrub: true 
  }, 
  x: 400 
});

What are some common use cases for ScrollTrigger?

Common use cases include triggering animations when elements come into view, creating parallax effects, and synchronizing animations with scrolling.

Is it compatible with other libraries?

Yes, ScrollTrigger can be used alongside other libraries like jQuery or vanilla JavaScript, making it very versatile.
