How do I make my to do list able edit input through the edit button using jquery? It is a to do list and i want users to be able to edit the input Thanks in advance
<header data-role="header">
<h1>To Do List</h1>
<a href="#">Home</a>
</header>
<div role="main" class="todo- container">
<div class="input">
<input type="text" class="note" placeholder="Input new note..">
<button id="addButton">Add</button>
</div>
<ul class="todo-list">
<li>
<div class="button-center">
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#addButton').click(function() {
var task = $(".note").val();
$(".todo-list").append(`<li> <span>Task: ${task}</span><div class="button-center"><button class="deleteButton">Delete</button><button class="editButtton">Edit</button> </div></li>`);
$(".note").val("");
});
$(document).on('click', '.deleteButton', function() {
$(this).parent().parent().remove();
});
});
$('#editButton').click(function() {});
</script>
I have done something like this : example
user will be able to edit by double click at the text and an input field will showed up. user can click the edit button once he/she finished edit and the text will be updated.
JS
$('#addButton').click(function() {
var task = $(".note").val();
$(".todo-list").append(`<li>Task: <span class='task'>${task}</span><div
class="button-center"><button class="deleteButton">Delete</button><button
class="editButton">Edit</button> </div></li>`);
$(".note").val("");
});
$(document).on('click', '.deleteButton', function() {
$(this).parent().parent().remove();
});
$(document).on('dblclick', '.task', function() {
var task = $(this).text();
$(this).text('');
$(this).append(`<input type="text" value="${task}" />`);
});
$(document).on('click', '.editButton', function() {
var task = $(this).parents().siblings('span').children('input').val();
$(this).parents().siblings('span').remove('input');
$(this).parents().siblings('span').text(task);
});
I've modify your code and added the edit functionality. It's supposed to work as you will expect so I will not say much. Kindly try this
$(document).ready(function() {
var $note = $('.note');
var $taskId = $('.task-id');
$('#addButton').click(function() {
var task = $note.val().trim();
var id = $taskId.val();
if( task.trim() === '' ){
// do nothing
}else if( id !== '' ){ // edit
$(".todo-list").find('[data-id="'+id+'"] .task').text(task);
}else{ // add todo
id = new Date().getTime(); // you can make it more unique
$(".todo-list").append(`
<li data-id="${id}">
<span class="task">${task}</span>
<div class="button-center">
<button class="deleteButton">Delete</button>
<button class="editButton">Edit</button>
</div>
</li>
`);
}
$note.val('').focus();
$taskId.val('');
$(this).text('Add');
});
// delete and edit action
$(document).on('click', '.deleteButton', function() {
$(this).closest('li').remove();
}).on('click', '.editButton', function(){
let $li = $(this).closest('li');
$note.val( $li.find('.task').text() );
$taskId.val( $li.data('id') );
$('#addButton').text('Update');
});
// cancel update if .note text is cleared
$('.note').on('input', function(){
if( $(this).val() === '' ){
$taskId.val('').focus();
$('#addButton').text('Add');
}
})
