CMS Data Calculator
Hey guys!
I'm currently creating something like the video shown.
The data must be pulled from the CMS collection.
Is this possible to do with just vanillaJS and not touching Webflow API?

its possible but its going to take an absolute ton of custom code because this is basically a web app and webflow wasnt really built to design stuff like this
An alternative would be building this using flutterflow (webflow but for web apps)
or you can look into finsweets multi filter solution
2 filters exclusive multi | How To - CMS Library by Finsweet
Learn how to use the Filter component to set up 2 filters exclusive and multi in Webflow. Follow tutorials and walkthroughs of the CMS javascript Library by Finsweet to use on your Webflow website.
the problem is you woudl have to manually create every single possible permutation for every single car in-order to order to allow the user to keep filtering till they get an exact particular car
@niL Either that or you create a form thats nested within a webflow tab element for 5 different CMS collections (one for engines, one for models, one for accessories ,etc) are feeding the form inputs with dynamic data and you parse that data as plain text . use it to hydrate an order summary template when the user is done then send the users chosen selections to a database
thanks @trainvlops 🙏
@niL yes this is basically a combination multi-step form / calculator.
not sure what you mean by

It's possible with vanilla JS. It's comlicated enough that I would probably reach for a UI library like svelte here.
