One thing I forgot to say is obviously with VS Code you get all the benefits of AI (if you're subscribed) and code hinting which you don't get writing code directly in Webflow. Don't forget your merch: flowst8.dev/store Join the community: twitter.com/i/communities/1737357986903753004
Already done. Search “hosting” “assets” or “serve images next gen”. It’s all the same concept. Ps I’m deeply against using a service like jsdelvr + GitHub for commercial projects which a lot of content creators promote. Personal projects, fine so if this is relevant, search that.
@@webflowandcode Ohh okay, but what if the code exceeds more than 10000 chars then how do we host it? I think we should not use github we shall use npm. Any tutorials on that how to host on npm+jsdeliver?
Hi @webflowandcode. Thanks for the awesome tutorial. However I'm having an issue where Webflow is refusing to run the code: "not allowed to run insecure code from localhost..."
@@webflowandcode Thanks for replying, I was not expecting a response on a Sunday you absolute legend! I was using chrome. A while back I remember reading that Webflow only runs code served from https else it throws this error. After watching your video I thought local-host may have been an exception to the rule but I still seem to be getting the error. I usually use code-sandbox which serves from https but I would love to get a local vs-code setup running like you have in your video. For full disclosure, I haven't tried using Webpack yet. In testing I just severed a test project with a js file using (npx http-server). Not sure if the Webpack setup itself could be doing anything to prevent the error perhaps?
Check out my video on proxyman. It might add a bit of extra insight. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpyZRpjN74o.htmlsi=lEhRhgl9kg0eUiG9
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I’m curious about workflow. When I’m working on the js file, I run the server to check things out but it affects my production site. I understand that when I turn the server off, my site is back to normal until I push the changes but is there a way to possibly only work on the staging site that webflow offers and then have it work on production when it’s ready? Or if you have a different workflow solution that doesn’t show my js changes on the production site, please let me know.
@@webflowandcode Thank you, I will check it out. For now, I just did a makeshift solution of putting the setup code to in webflow and only publishing the staging site so that's the only site that the js file can affect.
Ok but just to be clear, when you run your code locally in this way, this doesn’t actually affect the live site (production or staging). It’s literally just on your machine that the code runs.
Yes but this requires setup that’s not mentioned at all in the video. Please look into MiniCssExtractPlugin and the documentation tells you exactly how you’d go about this
I did a bit of research this morning on this. Really code sandbox is a development environment. It's not really for the sort of thing you're using it for. Maybe for pet projects and playground but commercial applications and client work I think you really need to look for an appropriate solution like what we've described here or Slater.app.
