How to track the select option is deselect and and grab the deselect option value in jquery-CodePudding

Below is the example of the code for the scenario.

<select  multiple name="cars">
     <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
     <option value="honda" selected>honda</option>
     <option value="opel" selected>Opel</option>
     <option value="audi">Audi</option>
 </select>

Suppose if deselect the honda, how would i know that this particular option is deselected and how i will grab that option value in jquery.

Thanks in advance

CodePudding user response：

You can keep some variables and filter out those accordingly.

and in JS, you can handle these variables in the events

Here is the snippet, Hopefully you were looking for the same.

var prevValues = [];
var currentValues = [];

$(document).ready(function() {
    currentValues = $('.car').val();
})

$('.car').on('change', function() {
  prevValues = [...currentValues];
  currentValues = $('.car').val();
  let newlyAdded = currentValues.filter(x=> !prevValues.includes(x))[0];
  let newlyRemoved = prevValues.filter(x=> !currentValues.includes(x))[0];
  if(newlyAdded) {
    console.log('Added item', newlyAdded);
  }
  if( newlyRemoved) {
    console.log('Removed Item', newlyRemoved);
  }
})
