Do I need to require the webflow.js file in my React App when integrating Webflow with React?

When integrating Webflow with React, you do not need to require the webflow.js file in your React App. The webflow.js file is automatically injected when you publish your Webflow project, so there is no need to include it manually in your React App.

Webflow provides an embed code that you can use to integrate your Webflow project into your React App. This embed code includes the necessary reference to the webflow.js file, so you don't have to worry about including it yourself.

To integrate Webflow with your React App, you can follow these steps:

  1. Publish your Webflow project: Before you can integrate Webflow with React, you need to publish your Webflow project. This will generate the necessary code and files that you can use to embed your project into your React App.

  2. Copy the embed code: Once your Webflow project is published, you will be provided with an embed code. This embed code contains the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to display your Webflow project.

  3. Create a new React component: In your React App, create a new component where you want to embed your Webflow project. This component will render the embed code provided by Webflow.

  4. Paste the embed code into your component: In the render() method of your component, paste the embed code from Webflow. This will display your Webflow project within your React App.

  5. Style and customize: You can further customize the styles and behavior of your embedded Webflow project by modifying the CSS and JavaScript code within the embed code.

By following these steps, you can easily integrate Webflow with your React App without the need to require the webflow.js file manually.
