Building Unique Interactions with the Webflow CMS Library

Are you ready to explore the possibilities of the Finn Sweet CMS Library for Webflow? In this tutorial, we will delve into the add classes component to create unique interactions inside a dynamic list. This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with the basics of Webflow and the Finn Sweet CMS Library. If you are new to these concepts, it would be beneficial to review the introductory material before proceeding with this advanced tutorial.

Understanding the Setup

Before we dive into the implementation, let's understand the setup for adding unique interactions inside a dynamic list in Webflow. We have a dynamic list displayed on the page, containing the content that is dynamically fetched using the Webflow CMS. Additionally, we have a set of interactions that we want to apply to the elements within the dynamic list. These interactions are based on a static structure on the page.

The interactions are defined using the Webflow Interactions feature, and they are associated with specific classes assigned to the elements. In this example, we have an interaction for mouse hover using the FS add classes IX 2-1 class. There is also another interaction named IX 2-1 alt. Both interactions are intended to be applied within the dynamic list.

Implementing Unique Interactions

Let's proceed to implement the unique interactions inside the dynamic list using the add classes component of the Finn Sweet CMS Library.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have set up the dynamic list and the static structure with the required interactions in your Webflow project.

Accessing the CMS Library

Firstly, access the Finn Sweet CMS Library in your Webflow project.

Utilizing the Add Classes Component

Navigate to the add classes component within the CMS Library. This component enables you to dynamically add classes to elements, which in turn can trigger interactions defined in Webflow.

Applying Different Interactions

To add different interactions inside the same dynamic list, we need to make use of the unique feature of the Finn Sweet CMS Library. By creating unique arrays, we can specify the interactions that should be added to specific elements within the dynamic list.

For instance, create an array named unique to one and specify that it should add the IX 2-1 class with a start frequency of 1.

Subsequently, create another array named unique to two and instruct it to add the IX 2-1 alt class with a start frequency of 2.

By employing this approach, you can effectively add distinct interactions to different elements within the dynamic list.

Verifying the Implementation

Once you have defined the unique arrays and their respective interactions, you can preview the dynamic list in the live example. You will observe that the different interactions are being applied to specific elements within the dynamic list, thereby demonstrating the successful implementation of unique interactions using the Finn Sweet CMS Library in Webflow.

Exploring the Possibilities

The ability to incorporate multiple interactions within a dynamic list using the Finn Sweet CMS Library presents powerful opportunities for creating engaging and dynamic web experiences. These interactions can include hover effects, scroll-based triggers, and more, all based on class association and dynamically added using the add classes component.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have explored the process of implementing unique interactions inside a dynamic list in Webflow using the Finn Sweet CMS Library. By harnessing the add classes component and leveraging the unique arrays, we have successfully demonstrated how to apply different interactions to specific elements within the dynamic list. The potential for creating diverse and engaging web experiences using this approach is indeed vast.

We encourage you to leverage the capabilities of the Finn Sweet CMS Library and experiment with the add classes component to unleash the full potential of dynamic interactions within your Webflow projects. We look forward to seeing the innovative ways in which you harness this powerful feature. Happy creating!
