Is there a reference or example for creating a fade-in and fade-out effect for a collection of testimonials in Webflow without any user interaction? Should I use Webflow interactions or look for a jQuery solution?
To create a fade-in and fade-out effect for a collection of testimonials in Webflow without any user interaction, you can use Webflow interactions. While there are jQuery solutions available, using Webflow interactions is generally recommended as it allows for a more seamless integration with the Webflow platform. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this effect:
-
First, you'll need to create a Collection List in Webflow to house your testimonials. This can be done by adding a Collection List Wrapper and connecting it to your testimonial collection.
-
Inside the Collection List Wrapper, add a Collection List Item for each testimonial in your collection. Customize the layout and design of the testimonial as desired.
-
Select the Collection List Item and go to the Interactions panel. Click on the "+" button to add a new interaction.
-
In the interaction settings, select "While page is loading" as the trigger for the interaction.
-
Set the initial state of the Collection List Item to "Opacity: 0%" to make it fully transparent.
-
Next, set the animation for the fade-in effect. Click on the "Create New Step" button and under "Affect different element," select the Collection List Item.
-
Set the target property to "Opacity" and the value to "100%". Adjust the duration and easing options to your preference.
-
To create the fade-out effect, add another step and set the target property to "Opacity" with a value of "0%".
-
Adjust the timing and easing options for the fade-out effect as well.
-
Preview the interaction to see the fade-in and fade-out effect applied to your testimonials.
