What is CMSFilter.js?
CMSFilter.js is a lightweight JavaScript library designed to filter and search Webflow CMS collections dynamically. It enables users to create real-time filtering functionality based on categories, tags, or search queries without relying on Webflow’s built-in pagination or filtering options. CMSFilter.js enhances user experience by allowing instant content updates without reloading the page. This tool is particularly useful for Webflow users looking to implement advanced search and filtering capabilities in their projects efficiently.
What are some effective ways to use CMSFilter.js for filtering dynamic content in Webflow?
CMSFilter.js enhances Webflow CMS collections by enabling real-time filtering of dynamic content. To use it effectively, integrate CMSFilter.js by adding it to your project’s custom code. Assign filter attributes to collection items and create input fields or buttons for filtering options. You can filter by text, categories, or other custom parameters. Combine it with Finsweet’s CMS Library for advanced filtering, sorting, and pagination. Optimizing filter performance by limiting the number of shown items initially can improve page speed. This approach enhances user experience by allowing seamless interaction with large datasets without page reloads.
