I am having a problem with sessionStorage; in particular, I want the id of the ads to be saved in the session where the user puts the like on that particular favorite article.
However, I note that the array of objects that is returned contains the ids starting with single quotes, as shown below:
['', '1', '7']
but I want '1' to be shown to me directly.
While if I go into the sessionStorage I notice that like is shown as:
,1,7
ie with the leading comma, but I want it to start with the number directly.
How can I fix this?
function likeAnnunci(){
let likeBtn = document.querySelectorAll('.like');
likeBtn.forEach(btn => {
btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
let id = btn.getAttribute('ann-id');
//sessionStorage.setItem('like', [])
let storage = sessionStorage.getItem('like').split(',');
//console.log(storage);
if(storage.includes(id)){
storage = storage.filter(id_a => id_a != id);
} else {
storage.push(id);
}
sessionStorage.setItem('like', storage)
console.log(sessionStorage.getItem('like').split(','));
btn.classList.toggle('fas');
btn.classList.toggle('far');
btn.classList.toggle('tx-main');
})
})
};function setLike(id){
if(sessionStorage.getItem('like')){
let storage = sessionStorage.getItem('like').split(',');
if(storage.includes(id.toString())){
return `fas`
} else {
return `far`
}
} else {
sessionStorage.setItem('like', '');
return`far`;
}
}The main issue you're having is that you're splitting on a , instead of using JSON.parse().
Also, you've got some other code issues and logical errors.
Solution:
function likeAnnunci() {
const likeBtn = document.querySelectorAll('.like');
likeBtn.forEach((btn) => {
btn.addEventListener('click', function () {
let id = btn.getAttribute('ann-id');
//sessionStorage.setItem('like', [])
let storage = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('like') || '[]');
//console.log(storage);
if (!storage.includes(id)) {
storage.push(id);
}
sessionStorage.setItem('like', JSON.stringify(storage));
console.log(JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('like')));
btn.classList.toggle('fas');
btn.classList.toggle('far');
btn.classList.toggle('tx-main');
});
});
}
More modular and optimal solution:
const likeBtns = document.querySelectorAll('.like');
// If there is no previous array stored, initialize it as an empty array
const initLikesStore = () => {
if (!sessionStorage.getItem('likes')) sessionStorage.setItem('likes', JSON.stringify([]));
};
// Get the item from sessionStorage and parse it into an array
const grabLikesStore = () => JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('likes'));
// Set a new value for the likesStore, automatically serializing the value into a string
const setLikesStore = (array) => sessionStorage.setItem('likes', JSON.stringify(array));
// Pass in a value.
const addToLikesStore = (value) => {
// Grab the current likes state
const pulled = grabStorage();
// If the value is already there, do nothing
if (pulled.includes(value)) return;
// Otherwise, add the value and set the new array
// of the likesStore
storage.push(value);
setLikesStore(pulled);
};
const likeAnnunci = (e) => {
// Grab the ID from the button clicked
const id = e.target.getAttribute('ann-id');
// Pass the ID to be handled by the logic in the
// function above.
addToLikesStore(id);
console.log(grabLikesStore());
btn.classList.toggle('fas');
btn.classList.toggle('far');
btn.classList.toggle('tx-main');
};
// When the dom content loads, initialize the likesStore and
// add all the button event listeners
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
initLikesStore();
likeBtns.forEach((btn) => btn.addEventListener('click', likeAnnunci));
});
