Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
overshoot | 1.7 | 1.1 to 2, step 0.1 | Strength passed to the back.out entrance curve. |
fromScale | 0.9 | 0.8 to 0.97, step 0.01 | Scale at the start of the entrance. |
text | New | string | Text displayed inside the badge. |
data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
<div
data-composition-id="spring-pop"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/spring-pop.html"
data-variable-values='{"overshoot":1.7,"fromScale":0.9,"text":"New"}'

spring-pop: HyperFrames video primitive (effects / burst / reveal)
Concept: one badge arrives from scale 0.9 and opacity 0, passes slightly
beyond full size, then settles exactly at scale 1. One mechanic, one job:
revealing an element with a restrained, physical overshoot.
Compiled-from evidence: Video Primitives v1 build contract, Easing
vocabulary (--ease-overshoot = GSAP back.out(1.7), taste rules 4 and 5),
plus hyperframes-animation rules/spring-pop-entrance.md's playful
overshoot variation. This fills the gap left by spring-scale-in, whose
power3.out curve never overshoots.
Use when: a new badge, compact card, icon, or product detail deserves one
lively entrance. Keep it to the single element that earns emphasis.
Variables:
- overshoot (number, 1.1 to 2.0, default 1.7): the strength passed to
GSAP back.out(overshoot).
- fromScale (number, 0.8 to 0.97, default 0.9): the visible start scale.
- text (string, default "New"): the badge label.
Envelope: fixed 0.60s IN carries the complete pop, followed by a
deliberately still elastic HOLD. There is no OUT because this reveal
establishes the element's resting state. If duration is shorter than
0.60s, IN compresses to fit and HOLD becomes zero.
Sync point: pop-settle occurs at 0.60s into IN, scaled only when the full
duration is shorter than the fixed entrance. It never enters HOLD.
Sound: none. A parent scene may place a static cue at pop-settle.
Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the
host box, establishes the container query basis, has no data-width or
data-height, and registers one paused timeline under the hardcoded
spring-pop id.
