# gsap.utils ## When to Use This Skill Apply when writing or reviewing code that uses **gsap.utils** for math, array/collection handling, unit parsing, or value mapping in animations (e.g. mapping scroll to a value, randomizing, snapping to a grid, or normalizing inputs). **Related skills:** Use with **gsap-core**, **gsap-timeline**, and **gsap-scrolltrigger** when building animations; CustomEase and other easing utilities are in **gsap-plugins**. ## Overview **gsap.utils** provides pure helpers; no need to register. Use in tween vars (e.g. function-based values), in ScrollTrigger or Observer callbacks, or in any JS that drives GSAP. All are on **gsap.utils** (e.g. `gsap.utils.clamp()`). **Omitting the value: function form.** Many utils accept the value to transform as the **last** argument. If you omit that argument, the util returns a **function** that accepts the value later. Use the function form when you need to clamp, map, normalize, or snap many values with the same config (e.g. in a mousemove handler or tween callback). **Exception: random()** — pass **true** as the last argument to get a reusable function (do not omit the value); see [random()](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/GSAP/UtilityMethods/random()). ```javascript // With value: returns the result gsap.utils.clamp(0, 100, 150); // 100 // Without value: returns a function you call with the value later let c = gsap.utils.clamp(0, 100); c(150); // 100 c(-10); // 0 ``` ## Clamping and Ranges ### clamp(min, max
