I have a series of div or input, and all data are pulled from a JSON file.
Here is an example of the structure : group - groupItem - itemSpec- itemSpec2
{
"Group": "groupA",
"Item": "groupA-item1",
"Spec1": "item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "item1-spec2"
},
{
"Group": "groupB",
"Item": "groupB-item1",
"Spec1": "groupB-item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "groupB-Item1-spec2"
},
"Group": "groupA",
"Item": "groupA-item1",
"Spec1": "groupA-Item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "groupA-Item2-spec2"
},
So I can have several groupA or groupB, and have several items coming from the same group.
I tried to pull out all groups in the first select field, with a function to avoid duplicates
let dropdown = $('#group');
let input1 = $('#item');
let input2 = $('#spec1');
let input3 = $('#spec2');
dropdown.empty();
dropdown.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose a group</option>');
const url = 'interaction.json';
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
var ids = [];
$.each(data, function (key, entry) {
if($.inArray(entry.Group, ids) === -1){
ids.push(entry.Group);
dropdown.append($('<option></option>').attr('value', entry.Group).text(entry.Group));
}
});
It gives me a list of all groups, without duplicates.
What I want now, is to pull out all item related to the selected group.I tried many ways, but can't find a solution.
I tried for example :
$('#group').change(function() {
group = $(this).val();
input1.empty();
input1.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose an item</option>');
$.each(ids, function(index, value) {
input1.append("<option>" + value[1] + "</option>");
});
});
Or with :
$('#group').change(function() {
var i = this.selectedIndex;
i = i - 1;
input1.empty();
input1.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose an item</option>');
$.each(ids, function(index, value) {
input1.append("<option>" + value[i].Item+ "</option>");
});
});
It gives me a list of "undefined"...can anyone help ? (I cannot use the editor because I 'm using a JSON file...)
Ok here is a more visual example with a simple js array.This snippet contain the solution gived by Swati !
var data = [{
"Group": "groupA",
"Item": "groupA-item1",
"Spec1": "item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "item1-spec2"
},
{
"Group": "groupB",
"Item": "groupB-item1",
"Spec1": "groupB-item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "groupB-Item1-spec2"
}, {
"Group": "groupA",
"Item": "groupA-item2",
"Spec1": "groupA-Item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "groupA-Item2-spec2"
}
]
let dropdown = $('#group');
let input1 = $('#item');
let input2 = $('#spec1');
let input3 = $('#spec2');
dropdown.empty();
dropdown.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose a group</option>');
var ids = [];
$.each(data, function(key, entry) {
if ($.inArray(entry.Group, ids) === -1) {
ids.push(entry.Group);
dropdown.append($('<option></option>').attr('value', entry.Group).text(entry.Group));
}
});
$('#group').change(function() {
group = $(this).val();
input1.empty();
input1.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose an item</option>');
//filter your json..get only json array where group matchs
var items = $(data)
.filter(function(i, n) {
return n.Group === group;
});
//add to your options
$.each(items, function(index, value) {
console.log(value.Item)
input1.append("<option>" + value.Item + "</option>");
});
});
$('#item').change(function() {
si_group = $(this).val();
var selected_items = $(data).filter(function(i, n) {
return n.Item === si_group;
});
$.each(selected_items, function(index, value) {
input2.text(value.Spec1);
input3.text(value.Spec2);
});
});
.select_group{
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
#spec1,#spec2{
display:inline-block;
border:1px solid #eee;
}
label{
font-weight:bold
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="select_group">
<div>
<label for="group" class="flex j-center a-center"> Group | </label>
<select id="group" name="group"></select>
</div>
<div>
<label for="item" class="flex j-center a-center"> Item | </label>
<select id="item" name="medoc"></select>
</div>
<div>
<label for="spec1" class="flex j-center a-center"> Item spec1 :</label>
<div id="spec1" type="text" class=""></div>
</div>
<div>
<label for="spec2" class="flex j-center a-center"> item spec2 :</label>
<div id="spec2" class="">
<span class="icon"></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can use filter
to filter your JSON Array
and get only matching values array and then simply loop through the filter arrays
and add value to your select-box.
Demo Code :
var data = [{
"Group": "groupA",
"Item": "groupA-item1",
"Spec1": "item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "item1-spec2"
},
{
"Group": "groupB",
"Item": "groupB-item1",
"Spec1": "groupB-item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "groupB-Item1-spec2"
}, {
"Group": "groupA",
"Item": "groupA-item1",
"Spec1": "groupA-Item1-spec1",
"Spec2": "groupA-Item2-spec2"
}
]
let dropdown = $('#group');
let input1 = $('#item');
dropdown.empty();
dropdown.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose a group</option>');
var ids = [];
$.each(data, function(key, entry) {
if ($.inArray(entry.Group, ids) === -1) {
ids.push(entry.Group);
dropdown.append($('<option></option>').attr('value', entry.Group).text(entry.Group));
}
});
$('#group').change(function() {
group = $(this).val();
input1.empty();
input1.append('<option selected="true" class="reset">Choose an item</option>');
//filter your json..get only json array where group matchs
var items = $(data)
.filter(function(i, n) {
return n.Group === group;
});
//add to your options
$.each(items, function(index, value) {
console.log(value.Item)
input1.append("<option>" + value.Item + "</option>");
});
});
//same do for other selects
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="group">
</select>
<select id="item">
</select>
