How can I make the finsweet filter functionality work after adding a select2 searchable dropdown filter in Webflow?

To make the Finsweet filter functionality work after adding a Select2 searchable dropdown filter in Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Set up the Finsweet filter:

• Make sure you have already set up and configured the Finsweet filter on your Webflow site.
• Add the necessary data attributes to your collection lists or dynamic lists that you want to filter. These data attributes should correspond to the filter categories or options.

1. Integrate the Select2 searchable dropdown filter:

• Implement the Select2 library into your Webflow project. You can either download the library and add it manually or use a CDN link.
• Create a new dropdown element in Webflow and apply the Select2 class to it. This will initialize the Select2 functionality.
• Customize the dropdown to make it searchable by adding the "select2-searchable" class to it.

1. Configure the integration:

• Bind the Select2 dropdown to the Finsweet filter by adding a custom code snippet to your Webflow project.
  It should look something like this:
  ``` ```
  This code snippet listens for changes in the Select2 dropdown and updates the 'category' filter parameter in the URL. This will trigger the Finsweet filter to update the displayed items based on the selected option.

1. Test and troubleshoot:

• Preview your Webflow website and test the integration by selecting different options from the Select2 dropdown.
• Ensure that the Finsweet filter updates the displayed items accordingly based on the selected option.
• If you encounter any issues, make sure to double-check your implementation and refer to the Finsweet and Select2 documentation for further troubleshooting.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully integrate the Select2 searchable dropdown filter with the Finsweet filter functionality in Webflow. This will provide your users with an enhanced filtering experience, allowing them to search and select specific options to refine their results.
