Does Bento Focus work in Nuxt 3?

Yes. Drop it into any page or component. The component is client-safe; Nuxt handles the SSR boundary automatically. If you want explicit client-only rendering, wrap in ` `.

Does Bento Focus work with Vue 2?

No - the component uses the Vue 3 Composition API and ` ` syntax. Vue 2 support is not planned. If you need Vue 2, the HTML/CSS/JS variant works in any context.

Does Bento Focus work with TypeScript in Vue?

Yes. The component is typed and works with both `vue-tsc` and Volar. Props match the `data-anm-*` attributes documented on the main detail page.

Will the animation flash before hydration in Nuxt SSR?

Brief flash is possible because GSAP needs the client to initialize. The component sets the parked state via `gsap.set` on `onMounted` before the first paintable frame. For above-the-fold use in SSR contexts, add a CSS opacity:0 default that the component clears.

GSAP component for Vue

Bento Focus in Vue.

Five photo tiles on a bento grid with one big focus slot. Click a small tile and it grows into the slot while the previous one shrinks back and the rest re-settle into the mixed-shape slots on the right, farther tiles moving later. Click again mid-flight and the grid simply changes course.

Install

Install Bento Focus in your Vue project

Bento Focus ships as a copy-paste Vue 3 single-file component. The only dependency is GSAP - Vue's reactivity and lifecycle hooks replace the React useGSAP adapter, so no extra package is needed.

BASH

Integrate

Where it goes in your Vue app

Bento Focus is a leaf-level interactive component. Drop it into any page, layout, or other component. It works in Vue 3 + Vite, Nuxt 3, and any standalone Vue setup.

In Nuxt, no special handling is needed - the component is client-safe and self-cleaning. If you want to ensure it never runs on the server (rare), wrap your usage in <ClientOnly>.

The component uses the <script setup> composition API and TypeScript-friendly defineProps.

Gotchas

Same live-measurement requirement as vanilla and React

focusTile needs real template refs for Flip.getState - it measures actual DOM rects immediately before the slot classes change.

Click-driven only, no autoplay

Nothing moves until the visitor clicks a small tile. There is no ScrollTrigger or timer dependency to clean up beyond the resize and visibilitychange listeners and the SplitText instances.
