        duration: 0.5,
        ease: 'power2.inOut',
        onComplete: done
      })
    },

    leave(el, done) {
      this.$gsap.to(el, {
        opacity: 0,
        duration: 0.5,
        ease: 'power2.inOut',
        onComplete: done
      })
    }
  }

Multiple plugins usage example

✅ The module automatically registers plugins globally (after plugin activation in the settings), so you won’t have to worry about it (applies to all plugins).

// nuxt.config.js

{
  gsap: {
    extraPlugins: {
      /**
       * After activation, plugins are automatically
       * registered and available globally
       */
      scrollTo: true,
      scrollTrigger: true
    },
    extraEases: {
      expoScaleEase: true
    }
  }
}

// Usage

export default {
  mounted() {
    this.animateOnScroll()
  },

  methods: {
    animateOnScroll() {
      this.$gsap.to(window, { duration: 2, scrollTo: 1000 })

      this.$gsap.to('.box', {
        x: 500,
        ease: 'Power1.easeInOut',
        scrollTrigger: {
          trigger: '.content',
          pin: true,
          end: 'bottom',
          scrub: true
        }
      })
    }
  }
}
