Modern GreenSock Setup: Bundling GSAP with Parcel and Yarn

Moving beyond basic script tags is essential for building professional, high-performance web animations. Integrating the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) into a modern modular workflow allows you to write cleaner, more maintainable code. This course guides you through the process of setting up GSAP as an ES module using Yarn and the Parcel bundler. You will transition from legacy script imports to a modern development environment, learning how to structure your animation files for optimal performance and scalability. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of ES modules and modern JavaScript bundling. - Install and manage GreenSock dependencies using Yarn and package managers. - Configure the Parcel bundler for zero-config development and production builds. - Import GSAP core and plugins using modern ES6 import syntax. - Apply tree-shaking techniques to keep your final animation bundle lightweight. - Structure your project files to maintain clean, scalable animation code. You will start with the foundational concepts of package management and bundlers before moving into hands-on configuration. Through clear explanations and practical code snippets, you will build a local development server and compile a production-ready bundled application. This course is designed for front-end developers and web designers who want to modernize their workflow. No prior experience with Parcel or Yarn is required, though a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is recommended.
