Have you tried using the Lenis library with Webflow's native interactions and position sticky?

Webflow's native interactions and position sticky are powerful features that allow you to create dynamic and interactive designs. However, the Lenis library is not directly related to Webflow and cannot be integrated into the platform in the same way as the native interactions.

Lenis is a separate JavaScript library that provides additional functionality for sticky elements and smooth scroll effects. While Webflow already has its own position sticky feature, the Lenis library allows for more customization and control over sticky elements, including the ability to set different states and animations.

That being said, if you are using Webflow's position sticky feature and want to enhance it with additional effects or customizations, you can certainly combine it with the Lenis library. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Include the Lenis library: First, you need to include the Lenis library in your Webflow project. You can either download the library from the official Lenis website or use a CDN link to include it directly in your project.

  2. Set up your sticky element: In Webflow, use the position sticky feature to make an element sticky. Select the element you want to make sticky, go to the "Position" section in the Style panel, and choose "Sticky" from the position options. Set the desired top or bottom offset if needed.

  3. Add Lenis classes: Now, you can add Lenis classes to your sticky element to enable additional effects. For example, you can add the lenis-sticky class to apply a sticky behavior. You can also add other classes like lenis-show or lenis-hide to control the element's visibility based on scroll position.

  4. Customize with Lenis options: Lenis provides various options that you can use to further customize your sticky elements. For instance, you can use data attributes like data-lenis-sticky-tween or data-lenis-sticky-offset to define the animation type or offset values.

By combining Webflow's position sticky feature with the Lenis library, you can create more advanced and visually appealing sticky elements with smooth scroll effects. Remember to experiment and test your design to ensure it works as expected.

In conclusion, while the Lenis library is not directly integrated into Webflow, it can be used alongside Webflow's native interactions and position sticky feature to enhance the functionality and visual effects of sticky elements.
