I have a table that is built dynamically with EJS template. I want to pass a dynamic value to a jQuery function when the user clicks on the button.
This is how I'm building my table:
<% for(var i=0; i< automated_campaigns.length; i++) { %>
...
<%= automated_campaigns[i].name %>
<td>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn" id="load" data-loading-text="<i class='fa fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin'></i>">Activate</button>
</td>
...
<% } %>
And this is my jQuery function that handles the click event:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.btn').on('click', function(automated_campagin_name) {
var $this = $(this);
$this.button('loading');
$.get( "/automated-campaigns/change_status/" + str(automated_campaign_name), function( data ) {
$( ".result" ).html( data );
alert( "Load was performed." );
});
setTimeout(function() {
$this.button('reset');
}, 8000);
});
</script>
How can I send the right campaign_name?
Put the campaign_name in a data-campaign_name since you are already looping for each of them then access it in jQuery.
$('.someElement').data('campaign_name');
You can set data-attribute on every button you need:
<button type="button" data-cname="<%= automated_campaigns[i].name %>" class="btn btn-danger btn" id="load" data-loading-text="<i class='fa fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin'></i>">Activate</button>
Script can looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.btn').on('click', function(automated_campagin_name) {
var $this = $(this);
var cname = $this.data("cname");
$this.button('loading');
$.get( "/automated-campaigns/change_status/" + str(cname), function( data ) {
$( ".result" ).html( data );
alert( "Load was performed." );
});
setTimeout(function() {
$this.button('reset');
}, 8000);
});
</script>
