Webflow Interactions rely on the Webflow JavaScript library to function properly. When integrating third-party libraries like barba.js v2, it's important to ensure that the Webflow JavaScript library is reinitialized correctly after each page transition. Here's how you can achieve this:
1. Include the Webflow JavaScript library: Make sure you have included the Webflow JavaScript library on your website. This library is responsible for loading and managing Webflow Interactions.
2. Reinitialize Webflow after page transitions: barba.js v2 allows you to hook into lifecycle events, such as `done` or `once`, which are triggered after a page transition is complete. In these events, you can reinitialize the Webflow library by calling the `Webflow.ready()` function.
```javascript
// After each page transition, reinitialize Webflow Interactions
barba.hooks.once(() => {
// Reinitialize Webflow
Webflow.ready();
});
```
This ensures that Webflow Interactions are properly initialized and will work as expected even after using barba.js v2 page transitions.
3. Handle parent and child elements: If your interactions rely on parent and child elements, keep in mind that barba.js v2 only replaces the content of a specific container element and not the whole page. So, you need to ensure your interactions are updated accordingly.
Once the new page content is loaded after a transition, you may need to rebind your interactions to the appropriate elements. This can be done using jQuery or vanilla JavaScript by selecting the necessary elements and applying the desired interactions.
```javascript
// After each page transition, rebind Webflow Interactions
barba.hooks.once(() => {
// Reinitialize Webflow
Webflow.ready();
// Rebind your interactions // (e.g., using jQuery) $('.your-element-selector').yourInteractionFunction();
});
```
By reinitializing the Webflow JavaScript library and updating your interactions, you can ensure that they continue to work seamlessly even after using barba.js v2 page transitions.
Remember, this approach assumes you have already integrated barba.js v2 correctly into your Webflow project, and you have a good understanding of how barba.js v2 handles page transitions. Always refer to barba.js v2 documentation for more specific implementation details.
