Does Split Flap Board 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 Split Flap Board 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 Split Flap Board 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

Split Flap Board in Vue.

A mechanical split-flap board, the kind that hangs in stations. Click it and every tile riffles through its flaps to the next result, rows cascading left to right, each tile landing on its own beat like a real drum.

Install

Install Split Flap Board in your Vue project

Split Flap Board 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

Split Flap Board 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 drum model as vanilla

Build the tiles imperatively from the sets prop in onMounted and keep them in a plain array; template refs per tile are unnecessary because the rows are generated.

Click-driven only

Nothing flaps until the visitor clicks or presses a key. The only teardown is the master timeline and the keydown/visibilitychange listeners.
