JS Event listener does not work when there are multiple elements on the page even if i use their ID.

Time:08-10

I'm trying to write a custom select element with it's own class. If there are multiple elemnets with unique ID on the page, only the last click event listener working for some reason.

For every new select i create it's own class. In the constructor i add a click event listener, assigned to it's unique id.

constructor(options,changeCallback) {
    this.name       = options.name;
    this.id         = options.id;
    this.isMulti    = options.isMulti;
    if (this.id.substring(0,1) !== "#") { this.id = "#"   this.id; }
    this.wrapper    = document.querySelector(this.id);
    this.wrapper.addEventListener("click",this.open.bind(this));
}

It should work, since I add the listener to it's ID.

I have tried to remove the listener before i add it.

this.wrapper.removeEventListener("click",this.open.bind(this));
this.wrapper.addEventListener("click",this.open.bind(this));

I have tried to select the 0 th element but it produced an error.

this.wrapper = document.querySelector(this.id)[0];

EDIT: Added code snippet to demonstrate the problem.

CodePudding user response:

The problem was this method:

 addContainer(){
    let body = document.querySelector("body");
    let newTemplate = this.containerTemplate.replace("%selectID%",`${this.id}_container`);
    body.innerHTML  = newTemplate;
 }

When i added the template to the body, it modified the entire body and removed the elements where the event listener was added. So i had to use the insertAdjacentHTML function to do it properly.

Here is the corrected method:

addContainer(){
    let body = document.querySelector("body");
    let newTemplate = this.containerTemplate.replace("%selectID%",`${this.id}_container`);
    body.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", newTemplate);
}

This way, the dom is not reparshed and the listeners stay there. Another way i could have done this is delegated listeners to the body.

Here is a more detailed description about insertAdjacentHTML at this link.
