The GSAP Flip plugin is all about seamlessly transitioning elements on your webpage between two different states. It makes certain transitions, that would normally be very difficult to accomplish, a whole lot easier to pull off. And it does it in a way that turns the normal way we animate on its head. FLIP is an acronym (coined by web developer Paul Lewis) which represents an approach to creating animations which are more performant for the browser. The acronym stands for: First, Last, Invert, and Play. It’s really useful for re-parenting elements and changing the flow of the document. Here’s an overview of how it works: We get the initial state with Flip.getState. We then make a state change (add a class or re-parent elements, for example). And then, finally, we make the transition invert and play using the Flip.from method. So, in the Invert and Play stages, since Flip now knows about the initial state and the final state of the element, it applies offsets to the element to make it appear in its initial state and then animates the removal of those offsets to transition it to its final state.
