An underline that slides in from the left when you hover and out to the right when you leave. Good for text links, nav items and small button accents.
Install Text Underline in your Vue project
Text Underline 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
Text Underline 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.
