How would I toggle an object property between true and false?

let myLibrary = [
{
id: 0,
title: "The Once and Future King",
author: "White",
pages: 654,
read: false,
},
{
id: 1,
title: "The Hobbit",
author: "Tolkien",
pages: 304,
read: false,
},
];
const bookContent = document.getElementById("content");
function displayBook(book) {
const addBook = document.createElement("div");
addBook.className = "book";
addBook.id = book.id;
bookContent.appendChild(addBook);
addBook.innerHTML = `
<div class="title">
<p class="bookTitle">
<span>${book.title}</span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="body">
<p>
Author: <span>${book.author}</span>
</p>
<p>
Pages: <span>${book.pages}</span>

</div>
<div class="read">

I have a form where the user inputs information from a book they are reading and upon hitting submit, the information is sent as its own object inside an array. I also have a forEach method running which loops through the array and displays each object as a div on the web page.
let myLibrary = [];
const book = {
title: title,
author: author,
pages: parseInt(pages),
read: false,
};
myLibrary.push(book)
As you can see from the code above, the three properties that the user fills out are the books title, author and page count. There's also a property that is automatically added called the read property and it is automatically set as false.
The Problem
My problem is this. I have the following code displayed at the bottom of each div.
<div class="read">
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox" />
<span class="slider round"></span>
</label>
</div>
This code is very simple. It's a toggle switch which I found here.
I want it so when the toggle switch is grayed out, the read status is set to false. But when the toggle switch is turned on, the read property is set to true. I am having a very difficult time figuring out how to get this done.
What I've Tried
I was able to use an onclick to select the toggle switch's parent element, and I tested it using console.log however I am unsure of where to go from there. I attempted to update the book.read to true using the ternary operator but it was out of scope and resulted in an error.
document.querySelector(".main").onclick = (ev) => {
let el = ev.target.classList.contains("switch")
? ev.target.parentElement
: ev.target.classList.contains("slider")
? ev.target
: false;
if (el) {
let toggle = el.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement;
let index = [...toggle.parentElement.children].indexOf(toggle);
myLibrary[index].read = false ? false : true;
console.log(myLibrary[index].read);
}
console.log(myLibrary);
};

Change this
function displayBook(book) {
...
<label class="switch" data-book="0">
to
function displayBook(book,bookIndex) {
...
<label class="switch" data-book="${bookIndex}">
and
myLibrary.forEach((book) => {
displayBook(book);
});
to
myLibrary.forEach((book,i) => {
displayBook(book,i);
});
lastly change
// Displays new book
displayBook(book);
to
// Displays new book
displayBook(book,myLibrary.length-1);
Here is the code inclusive a delete function
It would be slightly simpler if we had an associate array on book_id
Note I removed the numeric ID because it is not needed since the index of the array is the same
let myLibrary = [{
title: "The Once and Future King",
author: "White",
pages: 654,
read: false,
},
{
title: "The Hobbit",
author: "Tolkien",
pages: 304,
read: false,
},
];
const bookContent = document.getElementById("content");
const formDiv = document.getElementById("addBookForm");
function displayBook(book, idx) {
const addBook = document.createElement("div");
addBook.className = "book";
addBook.id = `book_${idx}`;
bookContent.appendChild(addBook);
addBook.innerHTML = `
<div class="title">
<p class="bookTitle">
<span>${book.title}</span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="body">

}
// Display your original object list
myLibrary.forEach((book, i) => {
displayBook(book, i);
});
const deleteBook = (e) => {
const parent = e.target.closest("div.book");
const idx = parent.querySelector(".switch").dataset.book;
parent.remove();
console.log(idx);
myLibrary.splice(idx, 1);
console.log(myLibrary);
content.querySelectorAll("div.book").forEach((book, i) => { // reset the hard way
book.id = `book_${i}`;
book.querySelector("label.switch").dataset.book = i;
})
};
content.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
const tgt = e.target;
if (!tgt.matches(".delete-btn")) return; // not the delete
deleteBook(e); // pass the event to the delete
})
// Handle your object creation
const form = document.getElementById("form");
form.addEventListener("submit", updateLibrary);
function updateLibrary(event) {
// Need this so it doesn't refresh page
event.preventDefault();
const title = document.getElementById("title").value;

How to make content editable?

I have a todo list and I want to have editable task so I gave contenteditable = "true" attribute to p tag which contains the task content but when I left click on it, it does not work but when I right click it works! I gave this attribute to heading and it works just fine but its not working on tasks( p tag).
so my question is how can I make tasks editable when I click on them?(not by right click I want left click)
here is my code, please first make a task buy clicking on + button
const taskInput = $(".main__input");
const taskRow = $(".task-row");
const task = $("li");
let id = 0;
// adding task
const addTask = function() {
const markup = `
<li data-id=${id}>
<div class="main">
<div class="task__checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox">
</div>
<p class="task" contenteditable="true">${taskInput.val()}</p>
</div>
<div class="btn-task btn-delete icon" data-id=${id}>
<i class="fa-sharp fa-solid fa-trash"></i>
</div>
</li>
`;
taskRow.append(markup);
id++;
taskInput.val("");
};
$(".btn-plus").on("click", function() {
if (taskInput.val() !== "") addTask();
});
// remove element first solution
taskRow.on("click", ".btn-delete", function(e) {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
taskRow.on("change", ".task__checkbox", function() {
$(this).siblings(".task").toggleClass("checked");
});
$(window).on("keypress", function(e) {
if (e.which === 13 && taskInput.val() !== "") addTask();
});
taskRow.sortable();

As #cbroe and I have mentioned in the comments, the behavior is caused by jQuery UI Sortable Plugin.
The fix is fairly easy, we'll simply use the cancel option of the sortable method to prevent sorting if you start on elements matching the selector. Source: Sortable Widget - jQuery UI
We will pass the p[conteneditable] selector (or any other selector you see fit) to prevent dragging from the p tag that contains the todo text.
Here's a live demo:
const taskInput = $(".main__input");
const taskRow = $(".task-row");
const task = $("li");
let id = 0;
// adding task
const addTask = function() {
const markup = `
<li data-id=${id}>
<div class="main">
<div class="task__checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox">
</div>
<p class="task" contenteditable="true">${taskInput.val()}</p>
</div>
<div class="btn-task btn-delete icon" data-id=${id}>
<i class="fa-sharp fa-solid fa-trash"></i>
</div>
</li>
`;
taskRow.append(markup);
id++;
taskInput.val("");
};
$(".btn-plus").on("click", function() {
if (taskInput.val() !== "") addTask();
});
// remove element first solution
taskRow.on("click", ".btn-delete", function(e) {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
taskRow.on("change", ".task__checkbox", function() {

I also recommend looking at portlets as they provide a better way (in my opinion) to introduce drag & drop into your elements.

Strange behavior while adding DOM element using addEventListener() on a button

I'm trying to create a project card with user info when the user clicks on a button. When the user clicks the new project button, a modal form pops up that takes the user info and has a create button. The program should add a new project card whenever the user clicks the create button. To achieve this I added a click event listener to the Add new project button and another to Create button. I nested the create event listener inside the add new project event listener.
Here's the event listener.
addTileBtn.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
modal.style.display = "block";
const titleField = document.querySelector("#title");
const descriptionField = document.querySelector("#description");
const create = document.querySelector("#create");
const close = document.querySelector("#close");
create.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
title = titleField.value;
description = descriptionField.value;
function createProjectTile() {
const projectTile = document.createElement("div");
projectTile.classList.add("cards-grid__tile");
projectTile.textContent = title;
console.log(title, description);
return projectTile;
}
cardsGrid.appendChild(createProjectTile());
modal.style.display = "none";
});
close.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
modal.style.display = "none";
});
});
The problem is that when I create the first card it works fine. But the second time, it creates two cards and 3 cards on the 3rd time and so on.
Here is the JSFiddle link for the full code.

I've edited your code, this should be what you wanted:
const logoutBtn = document.querySelector("#logout");
const addTileBtn = document.querySelector("#add-tile");
const cardsGrid = document.querySelector(".cards-grid");
const modal = document.querySelector(".modal");
const titleField = document.querySelector("#title");
const descriptionField = document.querySelector("#description");
const create = document.querySelector("#create");
const close = document.querySelector("#close");
addTileBtn.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
modal.style.display = "block";
titleField.value = "";
descriptionField.value = "";
});
create.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
title = titleField.value;
description = descriptionField.value;
function createProjectTile() {
const projectTile = document.createElement("div");
projectTile.classList.add("cards-grid__tile");
projectTile.textContent = title;
console.log(title, description);
return projectTile;
}
cardsGrid.appendChild(createProjectTile());
modal.style.display = "none";
});
close.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
modal.style.display = "none";
});

Div not overflowing in a Chat

I'm trying to create a chat, but after some number of messages the new message doesn't appear in screen and i want to overflow, to user scroll down the messages, but just a few messages appears and after that number nothing happens, just appears the previous messages in a static way, i'm using React and Socket.io.
Code:
const [messagesAndAuthors, setMessagesAndAuthors] = useState<any>([]);
useEffect(() => {
socket.on('receivedMessage', (newMessage:{}) => {
messagesAndAuthors([...messagesAndAuthors, newMessage])
});
})
function sendingMessages(e : FormEvent) {
e.preventDefault();
if(message.trim()) {
const messageObject = {
userName,
message,
roomId
};
socket.emit('sendMessage', messageObject);
}
setMessage('');
}
----------------------------BACK-END(SOCKET.IO):
socketInfo.on('sendMessage', (data:any) => {
socketInfo.broadcast.emit('receivedMessage', data);
});
.chat-container {
margin: 0.5rem;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
font: 400 1rem 'Sulphur Point';
background-color: #254441;
padding: 2rem 0;

}

}

padding: 0.2rem 0.6rem;
margin: 1rem 0;
}
.messages-mine-style li{
margin-left: 1rem;
}
.messages-mine-style li+li {
font: 400 1.4rem 'Sulphur Point';
}
.chat-container input {
background-color: #ff6f59;

<form onSubmit={sendingMessages} className="chat-container">
<h1>Chat</h1>
<div className="messages-container">
{messagesAndAuthors.map((messageWithTheAuthor:any) => {
return (
<>
<ul className="messages-mine-style">
<li key={messageWithTheAuthor.author}>{messageWithTheAuthor.author}: </li>
<li>{messageWithTheAuthor.message}</li>
</ul>
</>
)
})}
</div>
<input value={message} onChange={(e) => {setMessage(e.target.value)}} type="text" placeholder="Digite sua mensagem"/>
</form>

Here's an example. You'll need to modify it to make it work for you, but it should serve as a good starting point.
function updateScroll() {
let el = document.getElementsByClassName("chat")[0];
let offset = el.scrollHeight - el.scrollTop;
if (offset < 120) el.scrollTop = el.scrollHeight;
}
var messageNumber = 1;
function addMessage() {
let msg = "<li class=\"chat-message\">new message "+ messageNumber++ +"</li>";
document.getElementsByClassName("chat-messages")[0].innerHTML += (msg);
updateScroll();
}
setInterval(addMessage, 2000);
addMessage();
.chat {
width: 250px;
height: 100px;
overflow: auto;
background-color: darkgray;
border: solid black 1px;
border-radius: 2px;
}
.chat-message {
list-style-type: none;
}
.chat-messages {
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 5px;
margin: 0px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="chat">
<ul class="chat-messages">
</ul>
</div>
This example only scrolls down if the user has scrolled down. If the user has scrolled up (to read previous messages, for example), then it will not scroll down.

Change the flex-direction on button click

I am trying to create an animation effect that moves two buttons when I click on them. I have the flex direction set up as a column in the container div and I essentially just want them to position as a flex row when I click on one of them (probably with a 1s animation). When I click on them currently nothing happens. Here is my code sample:
HTML
<header>
<div class="container">
<h1>Choose Your Allegiance</h1>
<div id="buttons">
<button class="fill"><img src="/assets/Jedi.png" alt="Jedi" /></button>
<button class="fill sith">
<img src="/assets/Sith.png" alt="Sith" />
</div>
</button>
</div>
</header>
CSS
.container {
width: 100vw;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.container.click {
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: space-around;
}
h1 {
margin-left: 5vw;
color: black;
font-family: "Poller One", cursive;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 3rem;
margin-top: 6vh;
}
button {
color: white;
transition: 0.25s;
float: left;
margin: 2%;
}
button:hover,
button:focus {
border: 2px solid red;
color: black;
}
.fill {
height: 120px;
width: 150px;
background: transparent;
margin-top: 4vh;
outline: none;
border: none;
}
.fill:hover,
.fill:focus {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 4.5em #add8e6;
}
.sith:hover,
.sith:focus {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 4.5em black;
}
#buttons {
height: 100%;
width: 100vw;
padding-top: 10vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
JS
document.querySelector("button").addEventListener("click", () => {
document.querySelector(".container").classList.toggle(".container.click");
});

There are a couple of changes you need to make to get this to work:
1. document.querySelector("button") is only selecting the first button. There are 2 you can add an event listener to the buttons
use document.querySelectorAll("button") to get all the buttons, and then you can loop through them adding an event Listener to each one:
document.querySelectorAll("button").forEach(function(button) {
button.addEventListener("click", () => {
document.querySelector(".container").classList.toggle("click");
});
});
A better way is to add an event listener to the buttons container - you can get the element using getElementById and then add the listener to it:
var buttons = document.getElementById("buttons");
buttons.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
document.querySelector(".container").classList.toggle("click");
});
2. You just use the class name when passing a class into toggle- you don't need the .. Also, you only need to toggle the click class as the container class will always apply. So what you need to use is .toggle("click");
Working Example (without your images):
var buttons = document.getElementById("buttons");
buttons.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
document.querySelector(".container").classList.toggle("click");
});
.container {
width: 100vw;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.container.click {
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: space-around;
}
h1 {
margin-left: 5vw;
color: black;
font-family: "Poller One", cursive;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 3rem;
margin-top: 6vh;
}
button {
color: red;
transition: 0.25s;
float: left;
margin: 2%;
}
button:hover,
button:focus {
border: 2px solid red;
color: black;
}
.fill {
height: 120px;
width: 150px;
background: transparent;
margin-top: 4vh;
outline: none;
border: none;
}
.fill:hover,
.fill:focus {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 4.5em #add8e6;
}
.sith:hover,
.sith:focus {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 4.5em black;
}
#buttons {
height: 100%;
width: 100vw;
padding-top: 10vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
<header>
<div class="container">
<h1>Choose Your Allegiance</h1>
<div id="buttons">
<button class="fill">Jedi</button>
<button class="fill sith">Sith</button>
</div>
</div>
</header>
As for animating this change, unfortunately CSS animations cannot be applied to flexbox direction property.

You are using classList.toggle wrong. You'll need to do this instead:
const container = document.querySelector(".container");
container.classList.toggle("click");
