To import and run the "init()" function from the Webflow JS file in your own JavaScript code, you'll need to follow a few steps:

  1. Download the Webflow JS file: Firstly, you'll need to download the Webflow JS file that contains the "init()" function. This file is automatically generated when you export your Webflow project.

  2. Include the Webflow JS file in your HTML: Once you have the Webflow JS file, you need to include it in your HTML file. You can do this by adding the following code to the <head> section of your HTML file:

<script src="path/to/webflow-js-file.js"></script>

Make sure to replace "path/to/webflow-js-file.js" with the correct path to your downloaded Webflow JS file.

  1. Run the "init()" function: After including the Webflow JS file, you can then call the "init()" function in your own JavaScript code. To do this, you can simply add the following code to your JavaScript file or within <script> tags in your HTML file:
<script>    Webflow.require('ix').init();</script>

The above code initializes the interactions (ix) module and triggers the "init()" function.

That's it! You have successfully imported and run the "init()" function from the Webflow JS file in your own JavaScript code.
