Change data-attribute on click of HTML elements

TetraDev picture TetraDev · Oct 14, 2015 · Viewed 7.1k times · Source

I am trying to apply changes to the DOM when a <tr> is clicked. When clicked, it should add data-state=enabled and data-display=expanded to the clicked <tr> while applying data-state=disabled and data-display=collapsed to every other <tr>.

So it should look like highlighting the clicked row while disabling the other rows.

Then, when a row is highlighted, and a user clicks elsewhere, it should reset to default, i.e. data-state=enabled and data-display=collapsed for all <tr>'s

Currently, I have it working so that when a <tr> is clicked, that row is highlighted and all others disabled. However, the script is missing the reset to default because if another <tr> is clicked, it immediately highlights that one and disables the rest.

I would like to do this in vanilla javascript but I am also open to using jQuery if it is substantially easier and won't affect performance noticably.

Here is the JSbin with working code to see where it's at: https://jsbin.com/kirati/

And the code so far:

<table class="table">
                    <thead>
                        <tr>
                            <th class="sort-key asc"><a href="#">Pet Name </a></th>
                            <th><a href="#">Owner (Last, First)</a></th>
                            <th><a href="#">Species</a></th>
                            <th><a href="#">Breed</a></th>
                            <th><a href="#">ID</a></th>
                        </tr>
                    </thead>
                    <tbody>
                        <tr>

                        <tr>

                    </tbody>
                </table>

And the Javascript

window.onload = function () {

    var tablerow = document.body.getElementsByTagName('tr');
    console.log(tablerow);

     // Convert the HTMLCollection into a true javascript Array, so we can do "stuff" with it       
    var tablerowArr = Array.prototype.slice.call(tablerow);
    console.log(tablerowArr);

// Do stuff
    tablerowArr.forEach(function (value, i) {
        console.log(i, value);

        tablerow[i].onclick = function (e) {
            //console.log("clicked!");


            var newArr = tablerowArr.slice(i, i + 1);
            //console.log(tablerow);
            console.log(i);
            //console.log(tablerowArr);
            console.log('newArr', newArr);


            tablerowArr.forEach(function (value, i) {

                // first reset all instances of data-XXX  
                tablerowArr[i].setAttribute('data-display', "collapsed");
               // tablerowArr[i].setAttribute('data-state', "enabled");

                // Set the <tr> data-display attribute to expanded/collapsed on click
                newArr[0].setAttribute('data-display', tablerowArr[i].getAttribute('data-display') === "collapsed" ? "expanded" : "collapsed");
                //tablerowArr[i].setAttribute('data-display', tablerowArr[i].getAttribute('data-display') === "collapsed" ? "expanded" : "collapsed");

                // Set the <tr> data-state attribute to enabled/disabled on click
                newArr[0].setAttribute('data-state', newArr[0].getAttribute('data-state') === "disabled" ? "enabled" : "enabled");
                tablerowArr[i].setAttribute('data-state', newArr[0].getAttribute('data-state') === "enabled" ? "disabled" : "enabled");

            });

            e.preventDefault();
        };
    });
};

Here is a pure javascript example in the below jsfiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/pya9jzxm/14

    var tbody = document.querySelector('tbody');
    var trs = tbody.querySelectorAll('tr');
    var tr, index = 0, length = trs.length;
    for (; index < length; index++) {
        tr = trs[index];
        tr.setAttribute('data-state', 'enabled');
        tr.setAttribute('data-display', 'collapsed');
        tr.addEventListener('click',
            function () {
                if (this.classList.contains('alphabet-label')) {
                    return;
                }
                var trIndex = 0, trLength = trs.length, hasExpanded = false;
                var state = 'disabled';
                if (tbody.querySelectorAll('[data-display="expanded"]').length > 0) {
                    hasExpanded = true;
                    state = 'enabled';
                }
                for (; trIndex < trLength; trIndex++) {
                    trs[trIndex].setAttribute('data-state', state);
                    trs[trIndex].setAttribute('data-display', 'collapsed');
                }
                if (!hasExpanded) {
                    this.setAttribute('data-state', 'enabled');
                    this.setAttribute('data-display', 'expanded');
                }
            }
        );
    }
};
