I have a load of divs with the class testimonial
and I want to use jquery to loop through them to check for each div if a specific condition is true. If it is true, it should perform an action.
Does anyone know how I would do this?
Use each: 'i
' is the postion in the array, obj
is the DOM object that you are iterating (can be accessed through the jQuery wrapper $(this)
as well).
$('.testimonial').each(function(i, obj) {
//test
});
Check the api reference for more information.
It's pretty simple to do this without jQuery these days.
Just select the elements and use the .forEach()
method to iterate over them:
const elements = document.querySelectorAll('.testimonial');
Array.from(elements).forEach((element, index) => {
// conditional logic here.. access element
});
In older browsers:
var testimonials = document.querySelectorAll('.testimonial');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(testimonials, function(element, index) {
// conditional logic here.. access element
});
Try this example
Html
<div class="testimonial" data-index="1">
Testimonial 1
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="2">
Testimonial 2
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="3">
Testimonial 3
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="4">
Testimonial 4
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="5">
Testimonial 5
</div>
When we want to access those divs
which has data-index
greater than 2
then we need this jquery.
$('div[class="testimonial"]').each(function(index,item){
if(parseInt($(item).data('index'))>2){
$(item).html('Testimonial '+(index+1)+' by each loop');
}
});
jQuery's .eq() can help you traverse through elements with an indexed approach.
var testimonialElements = $(".testimonial");
for(var i=0; i<testimonialElements.length; i++){
var element = testimonialElements.eq(i);
//do something with element
}
You can do this concisely using .filter
. The following example will hide all .testimonial divs containing the word "something":
$(".testimonial").filter(function() {
return $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf("something") !== -1;
}).hide();
I may be missing part of the question, but I believe you can simply do this:
$('.testimonial').each((index, element) => {
if (/* Condition */) {
// Do Something
}
});
This uses jQuery's each method: https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/iterating/
In JavaScript ES6 .forEach()
over an array-like NodeList collection given by Element.querySelectorAll()
document.querySelectorAll('.testimonial').forEach( el => {
el.style.color = 'red';
console.log( `Element ${el.tagName} with ID #${el.id} says: ${el.textContent}` );
});
<p class="testimonial" id="1">This is some text</p>
<div class="testimonial" id="2">Lorem ipsum</div>
You could use the jQuery $each method to loop through all the elements with class testimonial. i => is the index of the element in collection and val gives you the object of that particular element and you can use "val" to further access the properties of your element and check your condition.
$.each($('.testimonal'), function(i, val) {
if(your condition){
//your action
}
});
