# Limit Items by Breakpoint ❺

Webflow has a built-in **Limit Items** feature on Collection Lists, however it is not [breakpoint](https://university.webflow.com/lesson/intro-to-breakpoints)-sensitive. 

This often presents a problem for designers because if you're displaying e.g. blog posts in a grid, you may want to show a 4x3 grid at desktop, 3x3 on tablet, 2x2 on mobile landscape and 1x4 on mobile portrait. 

SA5 allows you to specify and adjust the number of items you want to appear at each breakpoint *dynamically*. 

### Demonstration

{% embed url="<https://webflow.com/made-in-webflow/website/limit-collection-items-by-breakpoint>" %}
Cloneable
{% endembed %}

{% hint style="success" %}
If you're unsure of how to apply the documentation, use the demo cloneables above as an implementation reference.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Getting Started <a href="#getting-started-nocode" id="getting-started-nocode"></a>

### STEP 1 - Add the Library <a href="#step-1---add-the-library" id="step-1---add-the-library"></a>

First, **add the library** as detailed in [Quick Start](https://attr.sygnal.com/sa5-html/quick-start).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
This attribute is CSS-based, and it's possible to paste the `<style>` block directly into an Embed if you want [design time support](#advanced-note).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### STEP 2 - Apply the attributes for the limits you want applied <a href="#step-2---apply-the-attributes-for-the-limits-you-want-applied" id="step-2---apply-the-attributes-for-the-limits-you-want-applied"></a>

See below for the attributes.&#x20;

## Usage Notes  <a href="#usage-notes" id="usage-notes"></a>

This attribute uses breakpoint suffixes; which appear like this;&#x20;

```
wfu-limit-items:t = 10
```

The `:t` indicates that this attribute applies to Webflow's tablet breakpoint and below, until it is overridden by another more specific breakpoint like `:l` ( mobile landscape ) or `:p` ( mobile portrait ).&#x20;

It's important to understand the fundamentals of how Webflow's breakpoints work in order to configure this attribute properly.&#x20;

### About Webflow Breakpoints&#x20;

If you're unfamiliar with responsive design in Webflow, breakpoint-specific styling is applied in a desktop-outward fashion-

From [Webflow Help Center](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961300305811-Breakpoints-overview#01JDAHFPB3NZBQYN7BE61NWH26);&#x20;

Each breakpoint view lets you style elements for a particular viewport range:

* Styles set on the **1920px** breakpoint apply to screens 1920px wide and above
* Styles set on the **1440px** breakpoint apply to screens 1440px wide and above
* Styles set on the **1280px** breakpoint apply to screens 1280px wide and above
* Styles set on the **desktop (base)** breakpoint apply to all devices unless overridden at other device breakpoints
* Styles set on the **tablet** breakpoint apply to screens 991px wide and below
* Styles set on the **mobile landscape** breakpoint apply to screens 767px wide and below
* Styles set on the **mobile portrait** breakpoint apply to screens 478px wide and below

### Using SA5's Limit Items Attributes&#x20;

For each breakpoint-specific attribute, set the value to the number of items you want to show, 1 to 30.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
Place the custom attributes you want on the Collection List element directly ( not the Collection List Wrapper element ). &#x20;
{% endhint %}

| Attribute              | Breakpoints Affected          |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `wfu-limit-items`      | Desktop ( base breakpoint )   |
| `wfu-limit-items:t`    | Tablet, and below             |
| `wfu-limit-items:l`    | Mobile Landscape, and below   |
| `wfu-limit-items:p`    | Mobile Portrait               |
| `wfu-limit-items:1280` | Large ( 1280+ ), and above    |
| `wfu-limit-items:1440` | X-Large ( 1440+ ), and above  |
| `wfu-limit-items:1920` | XX-Large ( 1920+ ), and above |

### Designer support  <a href="#advanced-note" id="advanced-note"></a>

If you want to have the item limits also shown *directly in the Designer*, you can add the CSS code directly into an HTML Embed.&#x20;

[Copy the CSS style block here](https://attr.sygnal.com/sa5-html/limit-items-by-breakpoint/designer-css-embed)&#x20;

## Notes&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
This attribute can be used with `wfu-sort`. Using the `random` setting, it allows you to maintain limited length lists that are re-randomized on every page refresh. &#x20;
{% endhint %}
