How to Use CodeSandbox with Webflow
This tutorial video explains how to efficiently use CodeSandbox for real-time JavaScript and CSS editing in Webflow projects.
Summary:
Ilja van Eck explains how to create and edit JavaScript and CSS files, and most importantly, how to properly link these files in CodeSandbox to Webflow projects. The primary advantage of this workflow is the ability to make real-time code changes without constantly republishing in Webflow. This significantly speeds up the development process, especially for projects requiring frequent code adjustments.
Throughout this tutorial, van Eck focuses on using CodeSandbox's free plan, which converted to a credit based system some time ago.
Key takeaways
- CodeSandbox now uses a credit-based system with 40 free hours monthly
- New URL structure: add "/__parcel_source_root/" before the filename
- Real-time code editing and previewing streamlines Webflow development
- Easily integrate both JavaScript and CSS files from CodeSandbox into Webflow
- Remember to transfer final code directly into Webflow for production sites
