Mat-icon: when pressing a button all the icons change


I'm using Mat-card to display a list using an array and *ngFor and when pressed on the button, it will change the icon (mat-icon) only on the selected card but it changes for all the buttons in the list.

here's an example:

it's before pressing on the button and the condition to change the icon is false

enter image description here

but when I press it all the icons change.

here's my code:

<mat-card  *ngFor="let a of items ;let i = index" class="item-card mat-card">

        <mat-card-header class="card-mat-header" style="margin-top: 10px;">
          <div class="card-mat-header-text"></div>

          <mat-card-title class="card-mat-title">{{a.name}}</mat-card-title>
          <mat-card-subtitle>Price :{{a.price}}</mat-card-subtitle>
        </mat-card-header>
        <div class="img-wrapper">      
            <img class="mat-card-image"  src={{a.image}} alt="Photo of a Shiba Inu">

        </div>
        <mat-card-content>
          <p>
            {{a.desc}}
          </p>
        </mat-card-content>

        <mat-card-actions class="right-button" >
          <button  mat-button class="mat-button mat-button-base" (click)="itemStatus(i)" > 
            <mat-icon>{{iconName}}</mat-icon>{{itemStatis}} {{a.addedToCart}}
          </button>

        </mat-card-actions>
      </mat-card>

also the used function:

  itemStatus(i){

      this.items[i].addedToCart =  !this.items[i].addedToCart
      if(this.items[i].addedToCart)
      {
        this.iconName = "shopping_cart";
        this.itemStatis= "Added";
      }
      else{
        this.iconName = "add_shopping_cart";
        this.itemStatis= "Add To Cart";
      }
    }

please if anyone is familiar with this kind of mistake help me.


Solution

  • You are maintaining the iconName and itemStatis at component level not at the item level

    Check the Example below

    https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-moun8k

    In XComponent.ts change itemStatus to

    itemStatus(i){
      this.items[i].addedToCart =  !this.items[i].addedToCart
    }
    

    In HTML change Button section to

    <button  mat-button class="mat-button mat-button-base" (click)="itemStatus(i)" > 
      <mat-icon>{{a.addedToCart ? 'shopping_cart' : 'add_shopping_cart'}}</mat-icon>
        {{a.addedToCart ? 'Added' : 'Add To Cart'}} 
    </button>
