Yes, there is a way to control the rotation of a chevron in a dropdown toggle using the Open state as a trigger in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve it:
- Select the chevron element inside the dropdown toggle.
- In the Webflow Designer, go to the Interactions panel by clicking on the lightning bolt icon in the top-right corner of the Designer.
- Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
- Name your interaction (e.g., "Rotate Chevron").
- In the "Choose trigger" section, select the dropdown toggle element on which you want to trigger the rotation animation. You can choose "Affect different element" if your toggle element and chevron element are different.
- Choose the Open state as the trigger for the interaction. This means that whenever the dropdown toggle is open, the rotation animation will be triggered.
- In the "Choose animation" section, select the rotation animation you want to apply to the chevron element. You can choose "Rotate" or "3D Rotate" depending on the effect you want to achieve.
- Set the parameters for the rotation animation. You can specify the rotation angle and direction (clockwise or counterclockwise).
- Preview the interaction to see how it looks. You can use the eye icon in the Interactions panel to preview the animation.
- Once you're satisfied with the rotation animation, click on the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of the Designer to publish your changes to your live site.
By following these steps, you can control the rotation of a chevron in a dropdown toggle using the Open state as a trigger in Webflow.
