How can I create a Webflow slider that scrolls infinitely, allowing users to swipe left and right on their mobile devices, without grouping the slides and causing the next set of products to appear in the next slide instead of stacking in the second row?
To create an infinitely scrolling slider in Webflow that allows users to swipe left and right on their mobile devices, without causing the next set of products to appear in the next slide instead of stacking in the second row, you can follow these steps:
1. Set up your slide structure:
- Add a div block or a slider element to your page to contain the slider.
- Inside the slider, add a collection list or a dynamic list wrapper to generate the product cards.
2. Style the slide container:
- Set the container's position to relative and make sure it has an overflow set to hidden. This will ensure that the cards remain within the bounds of the slide container.
- Set the container's width to a value large enough to accommodate multiple cards.
3. Style the product cards:
- Configure the card's size, margins, and any desired styling.
- Make sure the card has a fixed width.
- Set the card's display property to inline-block to allow cards to stack horizontally within the slide container.
4. Add interactions:
- Select the slide container and add two interaction triggers: "Swipe Left" and "Swipe Right".
- For each interaction, create a new animation to move the slide container left or right by the width of a card.
- Set the animation's easing to "Ease In Out", and adjust the duration to your preference.
- In the selector settings of each interaction, target the slide container.
5. Set the interaction conditions:
- For the "Swipe Left" interaction, set a condition to only trigger the animation when the user swipes left with a touch or mouse.
- For the "Swipe Right" interaction, set a condition to only trigger the animation when the user swipes right with a touch or mouse.
6. Enable infinite scrolling:
- Duplicate your collection list or dynamic list wrapper at least twice within the slide container, so that you have enough sets of product cards.
- Ensure that the duplicates are stacked horizontally within the slide container.
- Group the duplicate sets of product cards using a wrapper element like a div block.
- Set the wrapper's display property to inline-block.
7. Adjust the interaction animation:
- Edit the "Swipe Left" and "Swipe Right" animations to target the grouped wrapper element instead of the slide container.
- Ensure that the animation moves the wrapper element by the width of a single card.
By following these steps, you can create an infinitely scrolling slider in Webflow that allows users to swipe left and right on their mobile devices, without causing the next set of products to appear in the next slide instead of stacking in the second row.
