A great place to get started with GSAP and React is to read GSAP with React, GSAP method gsap.context() and GSAP React Advanced Animation Techniques

Warning This project use a Club GreenSock license which gives access to bonus plugins such as SplitText or ScrambleTextPlugin. If you want to use or deploy it you need to remove CharsInOut, ImplodeExplodeInOut, LinesInOut and ShuffleTextInOut components because they use them, as well as the actual gsap package and npmrc file. Install gsap package without these components or join the Club GreenSock, install the corresponding package using installation steps in the dashboard and use them.
