For example I have 4 cards, when I click on the edit button(each card have 1 edit button with the same class) I want to generate a save button but only on that card where I clicked the edit button
so far I tried to add a Boolean index but I realized that wont work, tried looping trough on each but I don't know how to stop on that card where i clicked the button
function modifyCard(){
const cards = document.getElementsByClassName("card");
for(let card of cards){
const saveBtn = document.createElement("button");
saveBtn.textContent = "save";
saveBtn.setAttribute("class", "save-change");
card.appendChild(saveBtn);
}
}
<div id=content>
<div class="card">
<label> Name </label>
<p class="name answer"> Example 1</p>
<label>Hours</hours>
<p class="time answer"> 32</p>
<button id="settings"> Edit</button>
</div>
<div class="card">
<label> Name </label>
<p class="name answer"> Example 2</p>
<label>Hours</hours>
<p class="time answer"> 32</p>
<button id="settings"> Edit</button>
</div>
</div>
So when I click on the 2. card's Edit button i only want to generate a Save button on Example 2 Card
(And it is also possible that i have 50 different card so I would not add an id to each one of them)
You cant use the same Id for different elements, use custom attribute (custom attributes starts with data-) or use css class instead
const editBtns = document.querySelectorAll('[data-id=settings]');
editBtns.forEach(btn => {
btn.addEventListener('click', ()=> {
// if there is no save button in the card component just create it
if(!btn.parentElement.querySelector('[data-exist]')){
const saveBtn = document.createElement("button");
saveBtn.textContent = "save";
// custom attribute
saveBtn.setAttribute('data-exist', 'true');
saveBtn.setAttribute("class", "save-change");
// ParentElement in this case is the card
btn.parentElement.appendChild(saveBtn);
// When save button clicked
saveBtn.addEventListener('click', ()=> {
console.log("do what you want to do with save button here");
})
}
});
});
<div id="content">
<div class="card">
<label> Name </label>
<p class="name answer"> Example 1</p> <label>Hours</label>
<p class="time answer"> 32</p>
<button data-id="settings"> Edit</button>
</div>
<div class="card">
<label> Name </label>
<p class="name answer"> Example 2</p>
<label>Hours</label>
<p class="time answer"> 32</p>
<button data-id="settings"> Edit</button>
</div>
</div>
