This Magnetic Hover Effect Makes Your UI Feel Premium | React, Typescript, GSAP

Описание: In this video, we build a Magnetic Mouse Hover Animation using React, TypeScript, and GSAP — the same effect you often see on award-winning websites.

We start from a clean Vite setup and gradually build the animation step by step. Along the way, we’ll understand the math behind the effect, fix common mistakes, and optimize it using GSAP’s recommended best practices like quickTo and contextSafe.

By the end of this video, you’ll not only know how to build the effect — but also how to implement it in a performant, production-ready way.

🔧 What you’ll learn:
Setting up a clean React + TypeScript project
Creating a reusable Magnet component
Understanding clientX & clientY vs element position
Using getBoundingClientRect correctly
Calculating distance from the center (core math concept)
Resetting animations on mouse leave
Why gsap.to on every mousemove is not ideal
Using gsap.quickTo for performance optimization
Using useGSAP and contextSafe properly in React
