How to fade TextMesh alpha with LeanTween?

I was looking for a way to fade the alpha value of TextMesh-Text in Unity, but I could not finde a solution online nor in the LeanTween Documentation.

• LeanTween.alphaText() does only work with the normal UI-Text (not TextMesh)
• LeanTween.alpha() doesn't do anything for me on Text.

After looking briefly through the API I guess a better way than introducing CanvasGroups just for fading one single text would rather be using LeanTwean.value for setting its color. CanvasGroup is a bit overkill here in my opinion.

(example adopted from API)

TextMeshProUGUI text;

void Start()
{
    text = GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();
    var color = text.color;
    var fadeoutcolor = color;
    fadeoutcolor.a = 0;
    LeanTween.value(gameObject, updateValueExampleCallback, fadeoutcolor, color, 1f).setEase(LeanTweenType.easeOutElastic).setDelay(2f);
}


void updateValueExampleCallback(Color val)
{
    text.color = val;
}
