Is it possible to host an image source list elsewhere and iterate through it from Webflow to avoid overwhelming Webflow with too much code?

Yes, it is possible to host an image source list elsewhere and iterate through it in Webflow. This can help avoid overwhelming Webflow with too much code and provide a more efficient way to manage and update your image sources.

Here are the steps to achieve this:

1. Host your image source list: You can store your image source list in a variety of places such as a JSON file on a separate server, a Google Sheet, or a remote database. Choose the option that suits your needs and access requirements.

2. Fetch the image source list: In Webflow, you can use custom code to fetch the image source list from the external source. For example, if you're using a JSON file, you can use JavaScript's `fetch` API to retrieve the data.

3. Iterate through the image source list: Once you've fetched the image source list, you can iterate through it using JavaScript to extract the image URLs and any additional information you need. Use loops or array methods to iterate through the data and manipulate it as required.

4. Use the image URLs in Webflow: With the image URLs extracted, you can dynamically populate images in Webflow using custom code. You can set the image source dynamically by assigning the URLs to the appropriate element using JavaScript.

5. Update the image source list: Whenever you need to update or add new images, you can update the image source list in the external location you chose in the first step. This ensures that Webflow always fetches the latest data and reflects the changes you make to the image source list.

By following these steps, you can keep your Webflow project more streamlined and avoid excessive code within the Webflow interface. It allows you to handle a larger number of images efficiently and gives you the flexibility to update and manage your image source list from an external source.
