Currently, Im using temperate literals to generate buttons to go along with locally stored data per result. This data is generated via a click which handles calling the storage to get back the information, displaying it a container. However, when I want to target the button, it's unresponsive.
My code
$(document).ready(() => {
const genMonthlyQueueBtn = $("#genMonthlyQueue");
const genTransientQueueBtn = $("#genTransientQueue");
const monthlyPlateQueue = () => {
const $insertMonthly = $('#insertMonthlyPlates');
$insertMonthly.empty();
let monthlyPlates = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('Monthly Plates'));
for (i = 0; i < monthlyPlates.length; i++) {
console.log(monthlyPlates);
$insertMonthly.append(`
<div class="container" id="generatedMonthlyPlates">
<input type="text" width="100px" name="monthlyLicensePlate" id="monthlyLicensePlate" class="licensePlate" placeholder="AB12345" value=${monthlyPlates[i]}/>
<div class="text-center">
<button class="btn btn-warning" type="submit" id="editMonthlyPlate" name="action">Edit
<i class="material-icons right">edit</i>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="submit" id="deletePlate" name="action">Delete
<i class="material-icons right">delete</i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
`)
}
}
// get the array from local storage through queue function
genMonthlyQueueBtn.click(() => {
monthlyPlateQueue();
})
// call generated button and test functionality to edit and push back to storage
const editMonthlyPlateBtn = $('#editMonthlyPlate');
const editMonthlyPlate = () => {
console.log('I was clicked');
}
editMonthlyPlateBtn.click(() => {
editMonthlyPlate();
})
Is there a better way to do this? or am I going about it the wrong way? This data is triggered with a previous button click, and when adding an onClick function to the button itself, It's just called every time I generate the list and not when I clicked the button itself which is expected but not what I need.
