How can I bind onclick event in table?

Time:04-10

I want a click event in the table when I am generating a dynamic table. I tried it like this.

var cartItem=[{"id":2,"title":"Mens Casual Premium Slim Fit T-Shirts ","price":22.3,"description":"Slim-fitting style, contrast raglan long sleeve, three-button henley placket, light weight & soft fabric for breathable and comfortable wearing. And Solid stitched shirts with round neck made for durability and a great fit for casual fashion wear and diehard baseball fans.

function getcartDetails() {
        document.getElementById("cartItemShow").innerHTML = "";
        for (var get in cartItem) {
          var tr = document.createElement("tr");
          var tdTitle = document.createElement("td");
          var tdImage = document.createElement("td");
          var tdDel = document.createElement("td");
          var img = document.createElement("img");
          var button = document.createElement("button");
          // ===============================================
          img.src = cartItem[get].image;
          img.width = 70;
          tdTitle.innerHTML = cartItem[get].title;
          button.innerText="delete";
          
          //button.span.onclick = "delete()"; i want apply an event
          //===================================================
          tdImage.appendChild(img);
          tdDel.appendChild(button);
          tr.appendChild(tdTitle);
          tr.appendChild(tdImage);
          tr.appendChild(tdDel);
          console.log("this is id :"   get);
          document.getElementById("cartItemShow").appendChild(tr);
        }
      }
      getcartDetails()
      /*function delete(){
      alert("hello")
      }*/
<div >
          <button  data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#showTable">[<span id="itemCount"></span>] Your cart</button>
          <table  id="showTable">
            <thead>
              <tr>
                <th scope="col">Title</th>
                <th scope="col">Image</th>
                <th scope="col">action</th>
              </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody id="cartItemShow"></tbody>
          </table>
        </div>

But I am unable to add on click event. Expected Output: After clicking on the delete button, it should appear an alert message with string "hello".

CodePudding user response:

Set a click eventListener on button:

  button.addEventListener("click", () => {
    alert("Hello, World!");
  });

CodePudding user response:

so, the main reason you get an error is that you are trying to use delete operator as a function.

First, you have to change the function delete to something else, since delete is an operator in Javascript, in my case, I changed it to deleteMe()

second, is change

//button.span.onclick = "delete()"; i want apply an event

to

button.onclick = function (){deleteMe();} //i want apply an event

the reason I have put that in the anonymous function is that I don't want to be triggered after loading the page.

the rest of your code is working well.

Javascript Delete operator

CodePudding user response:

you can accomplish that by adding class to the button element button.setAttribute("class", "delete"); also i will add data-id attribute to define the id value of clicked delete button in table

button.dataset.id = cartItem[get].id;

and add click event on this class jquery

$(document).on('click', '.delete', function() {
             alert("delete : "   this.dataset.id)
            });

or using native JS

var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("delete");

var deleteRow = function() {
    alert("delete : "   this.dataset.id)
};

for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i  ) {
    elements[i].addEventListener('click', deleteRow, false);
}

A couple of things to keep in mind.

  • delete is a reserved keyword. So you have to rename your function. Give it a name so that you instantly know what it does and what is being deleted.
  • Looping over arrays should be done with for, forEach or for...of. for...in is used to loop over objects. See this thread to understand the difference between for...of and for...in.

I'm assuming that you want to know which button is clicked. Therefor set value of the button equal to the id of the cartItem. This way you can get the id from the clicked button.

You could add an event listener for every button, but it's better (more performant) to use event delegation. This is a method of using a single event listener to capture the events of the children. In this case you'd a single click event listener to an element high up the DOM and uncover which element has been clicked. If one of our buttons is clicked, then execute the deleteCartItem function.

CodePudding user response:

Use event delegation. Instead of attaching listeners to every button add one listener to the parent element (in this case the tbody element), and have that capture all the events from its child elements as they "bubble up" the DOM, and have that listener call a function to update the table.

I've used a slightly more modern approach to building the rows in my answer that you may find useful. Links to all the relevant MDN documentation are at the end of the answer.
