Pass selector into javascript function

i have a js function that insert some code into exsiting html.
HTML
<div id="filteredProducts">
<!--load by js-->
</div>
<div id="filteredplaces">
<!--load by js-->
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="bucket">
</div>
</div>
js code
var myfun = function (data) {
if (data.form_is_valid) {
$("#filtered1").html(data.html);
toggleLight();
}
I need further abstract it to take another paramter so that i can insert data.html into any selector. So "#filtered1" will become a parameter pass into this function.
For example (Not sure if it works)
var myfun = function (data, sel) {
if (data.form_is_valid) {
$(sel).html(data.html);
toggleLight();
}
Ideally i'd like to do following:
myfun(data,".container .bucket")
or
myfun(data,"#filteredplaces")

const myFunction = (data, selector) => {
if (data.isFormValid) {
$(selector).html(data.html);
// toggleLight();
}
};
myFunction({ isFormValid: true, html: '<h1>Hello</h1>'}, '.class1,.class2')
This seems to work as you intended. I just tested with the last line, and it does what you need.
Perhaps, you missed that you need a comma in between the classes when you are targeting multiple

How to receive AJAX (json) response in a divs with same class name individually?

I've been getting crazier day after day with this, I can't find an answer, I've spent like 100h+ with this... I hope someone could help me out!
UPDATE:
So to make myself more clear on this issue and be able to get help from others, I basically have 3 containers named "main-container" they all have 3 containers as childs all with the same class name, and when I submit the button, I trigger an ajax function to load the JSON strings comming from php into the child divs, the problem is that I get the 3 "main_containers" to load the ajax at the same time, I only want to load the ajax if I press the button of each "main_container" individually.
I've been using jquery and vanilla JS as well but seems I just can't get it done!
This is how I currently trigger the button with jquery:
$('.trigger_button_inside_divs').click(my_ajax_function);
And this is how my ajax looks like:
function my_ajax_function(){
$.ajax({
dataType: "JSON",
type: 'POST',
url: test.php,
success: function(data) {
$('.div_to_render_JSON_1').html(data.PHP_JSON_1_RECEIVED);
$('.div_to_render_JSON_2').html(data.PHP_JSON_2_RECEIVED);
$('.div_to_render_JSON_3').html(data.PHP_JSON_3_RECEIVED);
}
});
}
HTML looks like this:
<div class="main_container">
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_1
</div>
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_2
</div>
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_3
</div>
<button class="trigger_ajax_function_btn">Click to load ajax</button> //this btn loads ajax into the div class "my_div"
</div>
<div class="main_container">
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_1
</div>
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_2
</div>
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_3
</div>
<button class="trigger_ajax_function_btn">Click to load ajax</button> //this btn loads ajax into the div class "my_div"
</div>
<div class="main_container">
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_1
</div>
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_2
</div>
<div class="my_div">
//div_to_render_JSON_3
</div>
<button class="trigger_ajax_function_btn">Click to load ajax</button> //this btn loads ajax into the div class "my_div"
</div>
So in conclusion, each of those 6 "divs" has a button that triggers an function containing my ajax to render inside that particular div. But what I get is that every time I click that triggering button, I get the ajax to render in all of the 6 divs, instead of render on each particular div only when I click its particular button.
Thanks a lot people, I really hope to get this done!
Cheers.
PD:
This is something a programmer did to achieve what I'm trying to achieve but I just can't figure out what in this code is that is making possible clicking 1 button and affect THAT html element , even though they all have the same class.
(function(){
$("form input[type=submit]").click(function() {
$("input[type=submit]", $(this).parents("form")).removeAttr("clicked");
$(this).attr("clicked", "true");
});
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var el;
function SetDataInTheForm()
{
var resp = JSON.parse(xhr.response)
var pt=0
var ct=0
var gt=0
Array.prototype.forEach.call(el.querySelectorAll(".test"),function(e,i){
e.innerHTML=resp[i].name
})
Array.prototype.forEach.call(el.querySelectorAll(".p"),function(e,i){
e.innerHTML=parseFloat(resp[i].p).toFixed(0)
pt+=parseFloat(resp[i].p)
})
Array.prototype.forEach.call(el.querySelectorAll(".c"),function(e,i){
e.innerHTML=parseFloat(resp[i].c).toFixed(0)
ct+=parseFloat(resp[i].c)
})
Array.prototype.forEach.call(el.querySelectorAll(".g"),function(e,i){
e.innerHTML=parseFloat(resp[i].g).toFixed(0)
gt+=parseFloat(resp[i].g)
})
el.querySelector(".wtp").innerHTML=parseFloat(resp[0].total).toFixed(0)+" "+resp[0].unit
el.querySelector(".wtc").innerHTML=parseFloat(resp[1].total).toFixed(0)+" "+resp[1].unit
el.querySelector(".wtg").innerHTML=parseFloat(resp[2].total).toFixed(0)+" "+resp[2].unit
el.querySelector(".pt").innerHTML=pt.toFixed(0)
el.querySelector(".ct").innerHTML=ct.toFixed(0)
el.querySelector(".gt").innerHTML=gt.toFixed(0)
}
function HandleSubmit(e)
{
el=e.currentTarget
e.preventDefault();
xhr.open("POST","/url_here.php",true)
xhr.setRequestHeader("content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
xhr.onload=SetDataInTheForm
var button=e.currentTarget.querySelector("input[type=submit][clicked=true]")
button.removeAttribute("clicked")
xhr.send($("#"+e.currentTarget.id).serialize()+"&"+button.getAttribute("name")+"=on")
}
[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll("._form_"),function(form){
form.addEventListener("submit",HandleSubmit,false);
})
})()

Remember that $('.div_container_to_render_JSON') is a new selector that selects all elements with a class div_container_to_render_JSON. What you want to happen is figuring out where that click came from, and find the corresponding div_container_to_render_JSON.
Luckily for you, a jQuery click handler sets the this keyword to the HTMLElement where the click was captured. You can use this to get the parent element.
$('.your-button').on('click', function () {
const myButton = $(this);
$.ajax({
// ...
success (data) {
myButton.parent().html(data.PHP_JSON_RECEIVED);
// or if you need to find a parent further up in the chain
// myButton.parents('.div_container_to_render_JSON').html(data.PHP_JSON_RECEIVED);
}
});
});

The problem is that your class selector is indeed selecting all your divs at the same time.
Solution, set identifiers for your divs as such:
<div class="my_div" id="my_div_1">
and then you can use those id's to fill in the data:
$('#my_div_1').html(data.PHP_JSON_1_RECEIVED);
and repeat for your 6 divs (notice the change from class selector '.' to identifier selector '#')

Thanks for the replies people. I finally figured it out after days of hard work, it was something really simple.. here's the answer:
$('.trigger_button_inside_divs').click(my_ajax_function);
var thisButton = $(this);
var thisDiv = thisButton.closest(".main_container");
function my_ajax_function(){
$.ajax({
dataType: "JSON",
type: 'POST',
url: test.php,
success: function(data) {
thisDiv.find('.div_to_render_JSON_1').html(data.PHP_JSON_1_RECEIVED);
thisDiv.find('.div_to_render_JSON_2').html(data.PHP_JSON_2_RECEIVED);
thisDiv.find('.div_to_render_JSON_3').html(data.PHP_JSON_3_RECEIVED);
}
});
}

Async loading a template in a Knockout component

I'm pretty experienced with Knockout but this is my first time using components so I'm really hoping I'm missing something obvious! I'll try and simplify my use case a little to explain my issue.
I have a HTML and JS file called Index. Index.html has the data-bind for the component and Index.js has the ko.components.register call.
Index.html
<div data-bind="component: { name: CurrentComponent }"></div>
Index.js
var vm = require("SectionViewModel");
var CurrentComponent = ko.observable("section");
ko.components.register("section", {
viewModel: vm.SectionViewModel,
template: "<h3>Loading...</h3>"
});
ko.applyBindings();
I then have another HTML and JS file - Section.html and SectionViewModel.js. As you can see above, SectionViewModel is what I specify as the view model for the component.
Section.html
<div>
<span data-bind="text: Section().Name"></span>
</div>
SectionViewModel.js
var SectionViewModel = (function() {
function SectionViewModel() {
this.Section = ko.observable();
$.get("http://apiurl").done(function (data) {
this.Section(new SectionModel(data.Model)); // my data used by the view model
ko.components.get("dashboard", function() {
component.template[0] = data.View; // my html from the api
});
});
}
return SectionViewModel;
});
exports.SectionViewModel = SectionViewModel;
As part of the constructor in SectionViewModel, I make a call to my API to get all the data needed to populate my view model. This API call also returns the HTML I need to use in my template (which is basically being read from Section.html).
Obviously this constructor isn't called until I've called applyBindings, so when I get into the success handler for my API call, the template on my component is already set to my default text.
What I need to know is, is it possible for me to update this template? I've tried the following in my success handler as shown above:
ko.components.get("section", function(component) {
component.template[0] = dataFromApi.Html;
});
This does indeed replace my default text with the html returned from my API (as seen in debug tools), but this update isn't reflected in the browser.
So, basically after all that, all I'm really asking is, is there a way to update the content of your components template after binding?
I know an option to solve the above you might think of is to require the template, but I've really simplified the above and in it's full implementation, I'm not able to do this, hence why the HTML is returned by the API.
Any help greatly appreciated! I do have a working solution currently, but I really don't like the way I've had to structure the JS code to get it working so a solution to the above would be the ideal.
Thanks.

You can use a template binding inside your componente.
The normal use of the template bindign is like this:
<div data-bind="template: { name: tmplName, data: tmplData }"></div>
You can make both tmplData and tmplName observables, so you can update the bound data, and change the template. The tmplName is the id of an element whose content will be used as template. If you use this syntax you need an element with the required id, so, in your succes handler you can use something like jQuery to create a new element with the appropriate id, and then update the tmplname, so that the template content gets updated.
*THIS WILL NOT WORK:
Another option is to use the template binding in a different way:
<div data-bind="template: { nodes: tmplNodes, data: tmplData }"></div>
In this case you can supply directly the nodes to the template. I.e. make a tmplNodes observable, which is initialized with your <h3>Loading...</h3> element. And then change it to hold the nodes received from the server.
because nodesdoesn't support observables:
nodes — directly pass an array of DOM nodes to use as a template. This should be a non-observable array and note that the elements will be removed from their current parent if they have one. This option is ignored if you have also passed a nonempty value for name.
So you need to use the first option: create a new element, add it to the document DOM with a known id, and use that id as the template name. DEMO:
// Simulate service that return HTML
var dynTemplNumber = 0;
var getHtml = function() {
var deferred = $.Deferred();
var html =
'<div class="c"> \
<h3>Dynamic template ' + dynTemplNumber++ + '</h3> \
Name: <span data-bind="text: name"/> \
</div>';
setTimeout(deferred.resolve, 2000, html);
return deferred.promise();
};
var Vm = function() {
self = this;
self.tmplIdx = 0;
self.tmplName = ko.observable('tmplA');
self.tmplData = ko.observable({ name: 'Helmut', surname: 'Kaufmann'});
self.tmplNames = ko.observableArray(['tmplA','tmplB']);
self.loading = ko.observable(false);
self.createNewTemplate = function() {
// simulate AJAX call to service
self.loading(true);
getHtml().then(function(html) {
var tmplName = 'tmpl' + tmplIdx++;
var $new = $('<div>');
$new.attr('id',tmplName);
$new.html(html);
$('#tmplContainer').append($new);
self.tmplNames.push(tmplName);
self.loading(false);
self.tmplName(tmplName);
});
};
return self;
};
ko.applyBindings(Vm(), byName);
div.container { border: solid 1px black; margin: 20px 0;}
div {padding: 5px; }
.a { background-color: #FEE;}
.b { background-color: #EFE;}
.c { background-color: #EEF;}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout/3.2.0/knockout-min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="byName" class="container">
Select template by name:
<select data-bind="{options: tmplNames, value: tmplName}"></select>
<input type="button" value="Add template"
data-bind="click: createNewTemplate"/>
<span data-bind="visible: loading">Loading new template...</span>
<div data-bind="template: {name: tmplName, data: tmplData}"></div>
</div>
<div id="tmplContainer" style="display:none">
<div id="tmplA">
<div class="a">
<h3>Template A</h3>
<span data-bind="text: name"></span> <span data-bind="text: surname"></span>
</div>
</div>
<div id="tmplB">
<div class="b">
<h3>Template B</h3>
Name: <span data-bind="text: name"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>

component.template[0] = $(data)[0]
I know this is old, but I found it trying to do the same, and the approcah helped me come up with this in my case, the template seems to be an element, not just raw html

update span using jquery find in ajax call

I'm trying to update/refresh a specific after data is returned from the server.
I want to update span class="answer-final-score". I use class instead of ID because this HTML gets dynamically generated multiple times.
The jquery ($('.rating').on... gets executed once the user clicks on a star in the div class="answer-score"
$('.rating').on('rating.change', function (event, value, caption) {
$(this).closest('.answer-container').find('.answer-score-final').text('aaa');
// above works standalone but not in .done section of $.ajax call below
.done(function (result) {
var jsonReturn = JSON.parse(result);
$(this).closest('.answer-container').find('.answer-score-final').text(jsonReturn.score);
})
<div class="answer-container">
<div class="answer-score">
Score (<span class="answer-count">#Model.ElementAt(i).Count)</span><br /><br />
<span class="answer-final-score">#(Math.Round((decimal)(Model.ElementAt(i).RatingScore)))</span>
</div>
<div class="answer-rateIt">
<input data-id="#Model.ElementAt(i).OptionID" type="number" class="rating" min=0 max=5 step=0.5 data-size="sm">
<div class="hover">hover</div>
</div>
</div>

$(this).closest('.answer-container').find('.answer-score > .answer-score-final').text('aaa');
should work for you. Instead of using find again, just use the original find and find one of its children.

Not a JS expert so I don't know if this is best way, but this works.
var answerScoreFinal = $(this).closest('.answer-container').find('.answer-score-final');
// had to assign span object to a variable before making Ajax call, then
// use answerScoreFinal.text('value') in the Ajax .done section.
$.ajax({
type: "post",
...
})
.done(function (result) {
var jsonReturn = JSON.parse(result);
answerScoreFinal.text(jsonReturn.score);
})

I have two divs with the same ng-controller in AngularJS, how can I make them share information?

I have two different div tags in my html code referencing the same controller in AngularJS. What I suspect is that since these divs aren't nested they each have their own instance of the controller, thus the data is different in both.
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="alert in alerts">
<div class="span4">{{alert.msg}}</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl">
<form ng-submit="addAlert()">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Add Alert</button>
</form>
</div>
I know this could easily be fixed by including the button in the first div but I feel this is a really clean and simple example to convey what I am trying to achieve. If we were to push the button and add another object to our alerts array the change will not be reflected in the first div.
function AlertCtrl($scope) {
$scope.alerts = [{
type: 'error',
msg: 'Oh snap! Change a few things up and try submitting again.'
}, {
type: 'success',
msg: 'Well done! You successfully read this important alert message.'
}];
$scope.addAlert = function() {
$scope.alerts.push({
type: 'sucess',
msg: "Another alert!"
});
};
}

This is a very common question. Seems that the best way is to create a service/value and share between then.
mod.service('yourService', function() {
this.sharedInfo= 'default value';
});
function AlertCtrl($scope, yourService) {
$scope.changeSomething = function() {
yourService.sharedInfo = 'another value from one of the controllers';
}
$scope.getValue = function() {
return yourService.sharedInfo;
}
}
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl">{{getValue()}}</div>
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl">{{getValue()}}</div>

If I understand the question correctly, you want to sync two html areas with the same controller, keeping data synced.
since these divs aren't nested they each have their own instance of the controller, thus the data is different in both
This isn't true, if you declare the controllers with the same alias (I'm using more recente angular version):
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl as instance">
{{instance.someVar}}
</div>
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl as instance">
{{instance.someVar}} (this will be the same as above)
</div>
However, if you WANT them to be different and comunicate each other, you will have to declare different aliases:
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl as instance1">
{{instance1.someVar}}
</div>
<div ng-controller="AlertCtrl as instance2">
{{instance2.someVar}} (this will not necessarily be the same as above)
</div>
Then you can use services or broadcasts to comunicate between them (the second should be avoided, tough).
