React + GSAP Cursor Animation | Image Trail on Mouse Move #gsap #reactjs

In this tutorial, we create a cursor animation with React and GSAP. The animation shows an image trail that appears and slowly disappears when the mouse moves on the screen. It guides you on using useRef, useState, and useEffect, tracking mouse movement, updating values on screen resize, and animating elements with GSAP. The layout works well on different screen sizes. 🏞️ The images are designed by Freepik: https://www.freepik.com ⭐Lists: - Mini React Projects: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLes5YJFlROjGlHbGu3mnLAunULzAKKwsr - GSAP: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLes5YJFlROjHOLLJBZkwpfUihD_ouui8w - Swiper JS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLes5YJFlROjF1Lf2RZykNeD-q6KuUYXmn - Slider with Vanilla Javascript & CSS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLes5YJFlROjE2USc2RbzJXLzANyxijsUb - Background Animation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLes5YJFlROjE3QNHDn6UNzP5fiMhzQlze - CSS Hover Effect: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLes5YJFlROjGxfF4QgD4QwR6noJyCI_8f 👩‍💻 My Social Profiles: - X: https://x.com/ecemgo - Codepen: https://codepen.io/ecemgo - GitHub: https://github.com/ecemgo - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ecemgo 🕔 Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro 0:26 – Starting the React project: Main.jsx, public folder, and src folder 0:39 – App.jsx 0:51 – CursorAnimation component:Import React, GSAP, and build the layout 1:43 – CSS: Style the text and images 2:57 – CursorAnimation component: Add the GSAP animation
