How can I make the Finsweet CMS filter in Webflow filter through the entire CMS list instead of only what has been loaded onto the page?
To make the Finsweet CMS filter in Webflow filter through the entire CMS list instead of only what has been loaded onto the page, you can follow these steps:
Install the F'in sweet CMS library: First, you need to install the F'in sweet CMS library in your Webflow project. You can find the installation instructions on the Finsweet website.
Connect to the Webflow CMS API: After installing the library, you need to connect to the Webflow CMS API. This will allow you to fetch all the items from your CMS collection instead of just the items visible on the current page.
Fetch the complete CMS collection: To fetch the entire CMS collection, you need to use the
fetch()method provided by the Finsweet library. This method allows you to fetch all the items from a specific collection.Add a search/filter interaction: Once you have the complete CMS collection, you can add a search/filter interaction using the Finsweet methods and attributes. You can create a search input field where users can enter their search query, and then use the
filter()method to filter the CMS items based on the user input.Display the filtered results: After filtering the CMS items, you can display the filtered results on the page. You can use the
forEach()method to iterate through the filtered items and display them dynamically on your page.Update the filter with pagination: If you have pagination on your CMS list, you will also need to update the filter after a user navigates to a new page. You can add an event listener to the pagination buttons and reapply the filter with the updated list of items.
By following these steps, you can make the Finsweet CMS filter in Webflow filter through the entire CMS list, allowing users to search and filter all the items in your collection.
