I’m trying to make the Netflix for sheet music. This means that each row has a collection list which has conditional visibility. The issue is that each collection list is still loading all of the items which are turned off (per the condition).
I think this is a Webflow issue but is there any way to have a work around?
Bellow are 4 items in the collection yet you can see it’s loading the entire collection.
Here is my public share link: LINK
(how to access public share link)
The only workaround would require an external source of data you could dynamically load and custom code to render it. It’s a limitation of conditionals and the fact that Webflow is not dynamic, it’s static generated pages.
Hey again!
Have you tried limiting the collection with the limit option in the collection settings?
What I don’t know is, if the limiting occurs on the client side before or after fetching them, or if the page comes pre-populated from the server (server-side rendering)
If I did this then I wouldn’t be able to pull from the Webflow Database?
OOOO let me try! I think this is promising
Ah well, I checked. It’s server-side rendered. Without custom logic you will not be able to only load a couple items. All you can do natively is is limit what the browser shows, but you will ship the full html anyway.
Thank you for the tip! It worked like a charm!
Seems like the limit is used server-side. Neat!
