How can I hide an entire section in Webflow when a dynamic list is empty? I found a previous post that was somewhat helpful, but I need further clarification.
To hide an entire section in Webflow when a dynamic list is empty, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the dynamic list element: In the Webflow Designer, locate the dynamic list element that you want to hide when it is empty. This is typically a div or a section that contains the dynamic list.
2. Add a custom attribute: With the dynamic list selected, click on the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar. Scroll down to the "Custom attributes" section and click on the "+" icon to add a new custom attribute. Name the attribute "data-empty-state" (or any name you prefer), and leave the value empty.
3. Set up an interaction: Now, go to the "Interactions" tab in the right sidebar and click on the "+" icon to add a new interaction. Choose the trigger that suits your needs, such as "Page load" or a button click.
4. Configure the interaction: Select the dynamic list element as the target of the interaction. Then, choose the "Add interaction" action and select "Affect different element(s)" from the dropdown.
5. Define the conditional hide/show logic: In the "Affect different element(s)" section, click on the "+" icon to add a new target. Choose the section that you want to hide when the dynamic list is empty. Then, click on the gear icon next to the target name and select "Hide" from the "Display" dropdown.
6. Set the condition: In the "Only trigger this interaction under these conditions" section, click on the small arrow icon to open the conditional logic editor. Type in the condition that checks if the dynamic list is empty. For example, you can use the following code: `$('.dynamic-list').has('.dynamic-list-item').length === 0`.
7. Save and test: Save your changes and preview the site to see if the section is hidden when the dynamic list is empty. Make sure to test it with both empty and non-empty lists to ensure it works as expected.
By following these steps, you can dynamically hide an entire section in Webflow when a dynamic list is empty. This approach utilizes custom attributes and interactions to conditionally show or hide the section based on the presence or absence of list items.
