To activate a data-ix button on a different view in Webflow using AngularJS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Webflow interaction: In the Webflow Designer, create an interaction for the button that you want to activate. Set up the desired animations and triggers.

  2. Add the data-ix attribute: Once you've set up the interaction, select the button element in the Designer and go to the "Settings" tab. In the "Attributes" section, add a custom attribute called "data-ix" and give it a unique name. This attribute will be used to activate the interaction using AngularJS.

  3. Install AngularJS: If you haven't already, make sure you have AngularJS installed in your project. You can include it through a CDN or by downloading the library and linking it in your HTML file.

  4. Add AngularJS directives: In the HTML file where you want to activate the button, you'll need to add AngularJS directives to handle the interaction.

  5. Define a data-ix function: In your AngularJS controller or directive, define a function that will activate the Webflow interaction. This function will be triggered when you want to activate the button.

  6. Use AngularJS directives: Within the HTML code, use AngularJS directives to bind the data-ix function to the button element. You can use ng-click, ng-mouseover, or any other directive that makes sense for your use case.

  7. Activate the interaction: When the data-ix function is triggered, use JavaScript or jQuery (if available) to activate the Webflow interaction. You can activate it by targeting the button element using its unique data-ix attribute.

By following these steps, you can activate a data-ix button on a different view in Webflow using AngularJS.
