How can I create a super minimalistic audio player in Webflow where I can click a text block to start playing an audio file and press another text block or the same text block to stop it?
To create a super minimalistic audio player in Webflow with the functionality you described, follow these steps:
Design the audio player: Start by creating a container element for your audio player. You can use a text block or a div, and customize it to match your desired design. Set the dimensions, background color, and any other styles you want.
Add the audio file: Upload your audio file to your Webflow project. To do this, go to the Assets panel and click the "Upload" button. Once uploaded, select the audio file and copy the URL.
Add an embed code: Drag an Embed element onto your audio player container. Double-click on the element to open the code editor. Inside the code editor, paste the following code:
```html
```Replace
YOUR_AUDIO_FILE_URLwith the URL of your uploaded audio file.Add the interaction: To enable the click functionality, you'll need to define an interaction for each text block. Here's how to do it:
Select the text block you want to use as the play button.
In the Interactions panel, click the "+" icon to create a new interaction.
Choose "Mouse click" as the trigger.
Then, click the "+" icon next to "Initial appearance" to add an action.
From the Action dropdown, select "Start animation" > "Element actions" > "Play".
Choose the audio player element you created earlier in the "Element" dropdown.
Save the interaction.
Repeat the above steps for the text block you want to use as the stop button. But this time, from the action dropdown, select "Pause" instead of "Play".
That's it! Your super minimalistic audio player is now ready. When you click the play text block or the stop text block, the audio file will start or stop playing accordingly.
Additional Tips:
- You can further customize your audio player by adding additional interactions, animations, or styles.
- Use classes to differentiate between play and stop text blocks if you want them to have different styles.
