To create charts and graphs in Webflow, you’ll need to use third-party tools or embed custom script-based solutions, as Webflow does not natively support dynamic chart creation. Here’s how you can implement similar effects:
1. Use an External Chart Generator (e.g., Chart.js)
- Chart.js is a popular open-source JavaScript library for drawing responsive charts.
- Create your chart using Chart.js in a tool like CodePen or JSFiddle first.
- Once it works, embed it in Webflow using an Embed element.
2. Embed the Generated Code in Webflow
- In Webflow, drag an Embed component onto the page where you want the chart.
- Paste the combined HTML/Canvas element and JavaScript from your external test.
- Ensure required scripts (like the Chart.js CDN) are referenced in the Custom Code section or inside the Embed block.
- Examples of chart types supported: Line, Bar, Pie, Doughnut, Radar.
3. Use no-code Plugins or Integrations
- You can use tools like ChartBlocks, Infogram, or Google Charts, which provide embed codes.
- Create the chart in their interface, then embed it in Webflow using the Embed element.
- Look for options to output an iframe embed or script-based embed and choose based on responsiveness.
4. Adjust for Responsiveness and Styling
- Most chart libraries are responsive by default but make sure to wrap your canvas or iframe inside a div with responsive Webflow styles.
- Use Webflow classes to set widths, paddings, or animation effects if you want the charts to animate on scroll.
- Use Webflow’s scroll into view interactions if you want charts to animate once they enter the viewport.
- This won’t dynamically animate the chart data itself, but you can fade in or slide the chart container visually.
Summary
Webflow doesn’t have built-in chart tools, but you can easily integrate Chart.js or 3rd-party embeds using the Embed element. For more dynamic styling or animation, pair Webflow’s interaction tools with these externally generated charts.
