Is there a way to host JS files online with Webflow but keep them private and inaccessible if someone opens the link?
Yes, there is a way to host JS files online with Webflow and keep them private and inaccessible if someone opens the link. Here's how you can achieve this:
Upload the JS file to a private hosting service: To keep the file private, you'll need to upload it to a hosting service that allows you to set private access permissions. Some commonly used options include Amazon S3 bucket, Google Cloud Storage, or Dropbox.
Configure the access permissions: Once you've uploaded the JS file to the hosting service, you'll need to configure the access permissions. This involves setting up authentication and authorization rules to ensure that only authorized users can access the file. The specific steps for configuring the access permissions will depend on the hosting service you choose.
Get the file's public URL: After configuring the access permissions, you'll need to generate a public URL for the file. This URL will be used to embed the JS file in your Webflow website. Again, the process for obtaining the public URL will vary depending on the hosting service you're using.
Embed the JS file in your Webflow website: Once you have the public URL of the JS file, you can embed it in your Webflow website. To do this, you'll need to add a custom code block to your Webflow project. In the custom code block, use the
<script>tag to link to the JS file using the public URL.
By following these steps, you can host JS files online with Webflow while keeping them private and inaccessible to anyone who opens the link. This way, only authorized users with the necessary permissions will be able to access and view the JS file.
