I have a list of checkboxes in for loop and as I select one the name needs to get displayed in a textarea so as I keep selecting they need to get added and as I deselect they need to be removed. I am able to add the items but dispay only one at a time. I am unable to display array in the textarea. Also I was facing issues while trying to remove the deselected items. Please help. Below is my code....
Checkbox
<div *ngFor="let items of itemList">
<div class="xxx"><input type="checkbox" id="chk" name="checker" (click)="AddToTextArea(items.Name)" />
{{items.Name}}
</div>
</div>
Text Area
<textarea class="ttt" id="itemList" name="itemName" rows="5" [(ngModel)]="displayItemNameList"></textarea>
Component Method
public displayItemNameList = [];
AddToTextArea(iName){
this.displayItemNameList.push(iName);
}
Also help me with If I am deseleciting how can I remove the item Name from the array. I was trying to check indexof for this not sure if that would be helpful. Please guide....
<div *ngFor="let items of itemList;let i=index">
<div class="xxx"><input type="checkbox" id="chk" name="checker{{i}}" (click)="AddToTextArea(items.Name)" />
{{items.Name}}
</div>
</div>
<textarea class="ttt" id="itemList" name="itemName" rows="5">
{{showselected()}}</textarea> // you can also iterate a list here with ngFor
in your component.ts,
displayItemNameList = [];
AddToTextArea(iName){
if(this.displayItemNameList.indexOf(iName)>-1){
this.displayItemNameList.splice(this.displayItemNameList.indexOf(iName),1);
}else{
this.displayItemNameList.push(iName);
}
}
showselected(){
this.displayItemNameList.toString(); // this is basic string representation of array
}
