VistasJSON to HTML CSS output
I have a registration form, on data.error PHP outputs as JSON the errors
exit('{"error": "Passwords do not match!"}');
After a successful register, the user will be redirected to exit('{"location": "home.php"}');
I want the json output, instead of plain text to be put into html+css for styling,
so i can style div for the errors
document
.querySelector(".register form")
.addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const form = e.target;
const body = new FormData(form);
const res = await fetch(form.action, {
method: "POST",
body,
});
const data = await res.json();
if (data.error) { // If there is an error
document.querySelector("#msg").innerHTML = data.error;
}
else if (data.location) { // If we want to redirect the user somewhere
window.location.href = "./" + data.location;
}
});
If i add a class,
<div id="msg" class="error"></div> doesn't output anything,
while only inline style style="background-color:red;"> will work
.error {
background: #F2DEDE;
color: #A94442;
border-radius: 4px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}
I been researching this for 12 hours, i've seen few examples about JSON.stringify and others,
but i don't know how could i implement this into my code

Well I still don't know if I understand your case correctly. You can add a class to element msg for when an error is returned.
if (data.error) { // If there is an error
document.querySelector("#msg").classList.add("error"); //This will be styled from your CSS. Add a background, etc
document.querySelector("#msg").innerHTML = data.error;
}
CSS:
.error {
color: white;
font-size: 14px;
margin-top: 10px;
background-color: red;
}

function login($username, $password) {
// do a login
// if any errors
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($response);
exit;
// or if you're using any framework/controller then return properly
// using a json response containing the error i.e. "Invalid Login"
}
You want to do something like that server side. Then on the client side you want to get the response, check if there are errors and display the errors if they exist. Use a visible class or something for that so that you can change the visibility and display errors. So you create the div and css the way you want to and just use display: none on it, then if you do get errors you make it visible.
Don't use PHP to generate HTML/CSS, especially not in this way, unless you're using a proper view engine, otherwise you'll end up creating a mess. Send back a proper JSON response and do your UI stuff client side based on that response.
