To use Moment.js in Webflow to display dynamic dates in a calendar, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Add the Moment.js library to your Webflow project:
  • Go to the Moment.js website and download the library.
  • Upload the moment.js or moment.min.js file to your Webflow project. You can do this by going to the Project Settings in Webflow, clicking on the Custom Code tab, and then adding the file to the Footer Code section.
  1. Create a dynamic calendar element on your Webflow page:
  • Add a div block or container element to your page where you want the calendar to appear.
  • Give this element a class name for styling and targeting purposes.
  1. Add custom code to display dynamic dates in the calendar:
  • Go to the Page Settings of your Webflow page and click on the Custom Code tab.
  • In the Footer Code section, add the following code:
<script>  // Get the current date using Moment.js  var currentDate = moment();  // Display the current date in your calendar element  $('.your-calendar-class').text(currentDate.format('MMMM Do YYYY'));</script>
  1. Replace .your-calendar-class with the actual class name of the calendar element you created in step 2.

  2. Customize the date format according to your needs by referring to the Moment.js documentation. The format used in the code above is just one example, but there are many other available options.

  3. Save your changes and publish your Webflow site.

Now, when you visit your published Webflow site, you should see the current date displayed in the calendar element you created. Moment.js allows you to manipulate and format dates easily, so you can extend the functionality to display other dynamic content and perform various date-related calculations.
