Can the background shadow animation shown on the Build microinteractions around mouse movement example on the Webflow Interaction feature page be achieved using just interactions or does it require custom code?

The background shadow animation shown in the "Build microinteractions around mouse movement" example on the Webflow Interaction feature page can be achieved using just interactions within the Webflow Designer. Custom code is not required for this specific animation.

To recreate this effect, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new section or div block on your page and give it a background color or image. This will serve as the element that will have the background shadow animation.

2. Select the section or div block, and in the Interactions panel on the right-hand side of the Designer, click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.

3. Choose the trigger for the interaction. In this case, you would select "Hover" or "Mouse move" as the trigger, depending on your desired effect.

4. Next, select the element property you want to animate. In this case, it would be the "Background color" or "Background image" property.

5. Set up the animation by defining the initial state and the desired end state. For example, you can start with a transparent or lighter background color or image, and then transition to a darker or more opaque state.

6. Adjust the duration, easing, and any other settings to fine-tune the animation to your liking.

7. Repeat these steps if you want to create additional animations or variations as shown in the example.

Overall, the example uses combinations of opacity changes and background color transitions to create the shadow effect in response to mouse movement. By leveraging the Interactions feature in Webflow, you can achieve similar animation effects without the need for custom code.

Note that while Webflow provides a robust set of interactions, there may be cases where more complex or unique animations require custom code. In those situations, you can utilize Webflow's Code Embed component or custom code areas to inject your own JavaScript or CSS code to achieve the desired effect.
