Overview
Webflow has a built-in Limit Items feature on Collection Lists, however it is not breakpoint -sensitive.
This Sygnal Attributes solution dynamically adjusts the number of items shown for the breakpoint that the site is being viewed at, with no refresh needed.
Demonstration
Usage Notes
Place the custom attributes you want on the Collection List element directly ( not the Collection List Wrapper element ).
For each attribute you use, specify the number of items you want to show from 1 to 12.
Important, use only ONE of these configuration approaches per collection list.
OPTION 1 - Use the Desktop-max, Tablet, and Mobile configs
Use this when you want breakpoint-specific item counts, but desktop and higher breakpoints should all show the same item count.
wfu-limit-items-D-max the number to show for desktops and higher breakpoints
wfu-limit-items-T the number to show for tablet
wfu-limit-items-L the number to show for mobile landscape
wfu-limit-items-P the number to show for mobile portrait
OPTION 2 - Specify every breakpoint config
Use this if you want breakpoint-specific counts at every breakpoint.
wfu-limit-items-1920 the number to show for 1920px
wfu-limit-items-1440 the number to show for 1440px
wfu-limit-items-1280 the number to show for 1280px
wfu-limit-items-D the number to show for desktops
wfu-limit-items-T the number to show for tablet
wfu-limit-items-L the number to show for mobile landscape
wfu-limit-items-P the number to show for mobile portrait
Make sure to specify all 7. Skipping any will have unpredictable CSS behavior.
OPTION 3 - Use the global wfu-limit-items attribute
This will limit all items, at all breakpoints.
This is most commonly used in combination with wfu-sort, using the random setting. With the combination of random sorting and item limits, you can display a random set of items on every page refresh.
Advanced note
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. Copy and paste the code below. It's longer than it looks, however it will fit within Webflow's 10,000 character limit.
