I've tried several ways to do this including through javascript but I cannot figure it out. I have a table, and the header contains a "select all" checkbox with a checkbox attached to each entry.
applicable html:
<table>
<thread>
<tr>
<th ><input type="checkbox" id="selectAll" value="selectAll"></th>
</tr>
</thread>
<tbody>
<td>
<%= check_box_tag "contacts[]", contact.id %>
</td>
Ideally, what I would like to happen is for a hidden div to display when any checkbox is checked. I was partially able to accomplish this through Javascript with:
var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input#contacts_');
//var selectAll = document.querySelector('input#selectAll');
var checkCount = 0;
checkboxes.forEach(function(checkbox) {
checkbox.addEventListener('change', function() {
checkbox.checked ? checkCount : checkCount--;
checkCount > 0 ? actionsContainer.style.opacity = '1': actionsContainer.style.opacity = '0';
console.log(checkCount)
});
});
However, when the "select all" checkbox is checked, the other checkboxes are not registered as being checked and I cannot get the hidden div to show unless a contact is unselected and then reselected. I've also tried adding a separate event listener to the selectAll
variable with messy results.
So I'm trying a CSS solution along the lines of:
input[type='checkbox']:checked.mobile-actions {
opacity: 1;
}
figuring that if every checkbox is an input[type="checkbox"]
they would all be touched and the mobile-actions div would display. But this doesn't seem to work either. How can I get this done?

Add a class to the table <table class='items'>
Create event listener for click on that entire class and handle it based on clicked item. For example:
const itemsTable = document.querySelector('.items');
const items = document.querySelectorAll('.item'); // Class of each item
itemsTable.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
const traget = e.target.className;
if(target === 'selectAll') {
for(const n of items) {
if(n.parentNode.parentNode.hidden === true) n.parentNode.parentNode.hidden = false;
if(n.checked === true) console.log('I am checked');
if(n.checked === false) console.log('I am unchecked');
}
}
if(target === 'item') {
/// Do something
}
}
The same way inside this listener you can listen to individual item click, so you don't add event listener for every item separately.
At the same time you are checking/unchecking an item, you can change its style to hide it or whatever you want.

I was finally able to solve the issue with Javascript:
document.addEventListener('change', function() {
arr = [];
checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
for (i = checkboxes.length -1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (checkboxes[i].checked) {
arr.push(checkboxes[i].value);
}
}
arr.length > 0 ? actionsContainer.style.opacity = '1' : actionsContainer.style.opacity = '0'
});
