What is Attributes?
Attributes is an open source JavaScript library of solutions for adding filters, sort, load & search options, CMS tabs & sliders —and more— to Webflow using simple HTML attributes.
Getting Started
Please follow the documentation at finsweet.com/attributes to learn how to use Attributes in your Webflow projects.
API Reference
Attributes will inject a global window.FinsweetAttributes
object into your project that contains some methods to interact with the library.
To ensure that the library is loaded before you try to access the window.FinsweetAttributes
object, you can use the following instantiation code:
window.FinsweetAttributes ||= [];
window.FinsweetAttributes.push([
'ATTRIBUTE_KEY', // 'list', 'copyclip', 'modal', etc.
(result) => {
// Your code goes here.
},
]);
The result object will contain the API of the loaded attribute solution. Check the README.md
file of each attribute solution for more information on the API.
