Does Velocity Type 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 Velocity Type 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 Velocity Type 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

Velocity Type in Vue.

Text that reacts to how fast you scroll. It grows fatter, wider and more slanted as you speed up, leans into the direction you're scrolling, and settles back when you stop. Built for headlines that move.

Install

Install Velocity Type in your Vue project

Velocity Type 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

Velocity Type 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

Nuxt SSR flash

Initial axis parking runs inside onMounted, which is client-only. In Nuxt SSR the resting type paints before hydration. Set a matching font-variation-settings default in CSS so the pre-hydration paint already shows the resting axes.

Template refs in Vue

Refs are accessed as .value, not .current. Pass elementRef.value to gsap targets.
