Does Lens Rail 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 Lens Rail 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 Lens Rail 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

Lens Rail in Vue.

A strip of photos you drag sideways. Whichever one passes the middle grows large, like sliding it under a magnifying glass, then shrinks again as it moves on.

Install

Install Lens Rail in your Vue project

Lens Rail 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.

Where it goes in your Vue app

Lens Rail 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

Changing items after mount needs a remount

In infinite mode the clone sets are built once in onMounted from a width measurement. To swap the card set on a live instance, bind :key to your item list so Vue remounts the component with the new cards.
