I'm trying to remove or hide items from a list and I'm facing two problems, 1- the newly cannot be removed, 2- Tried to tag the deleted items as isDeleted = true using Javascript then later delete them in the controller following this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/40572625/10773318 but it didn't work.
Here's my view models
public class CreateEditParentViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public IList<ChildViewModel> ChildrenLists { get; set; }
}
public class ChildViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool isDeleted { get; set; }
}
In the main view
<div id="editorRows">
@foreach (var item in Model.ChildrenLists)
{
<partial name="_RowPartial" model="item" />
}
</div>
<a id="addItem" asp-action="BlankRow" asp-controller="Home">Add Row...</a> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Finished" />
The javascript in the main view
@section scripts {
<script>
$("#addItem").click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: this.href,
cache: false,
success: function (html) { $("#editorRows").append(html); }
});
return false;
});
$("a.deleteRow").click(function () {
$(this).parents("div.editorRow:first").remove(); //does not work with newly added
return false;
}); //what it should do: hide and set isDeleted = true if id is not null - remove if null
</script>
Finally the partial view
<div class="editorRow">
@using (Html.BeginCollectionItem("ChildrenLists"))
{
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Id)
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.isDeleted)
<span>Name: </span> @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Name);
}
<a href="#" class="deleteRow">delete</a>
1- the newly cannot be removed
You can manually bind click
event handler for the new generated <a href="#" class="deleteRow">
element, like below.
success: function (html) {
$("#editorRows").append(html);
$("a.deleteRow").bind("click", function () {
//...
//code logic here
});
}
2- Tried to tag the deleted items as isDeleted = true using Javascript
To achieve the requirement, you can refer to the following code snippet.
<script>
$("#addItem").click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: this.href,
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
$("#editorRows").append(html);
$("a.deleteRow").bind("click", function () {
del_row($(this));
});
}
});
return false;
});
$("a.deleteRow").click(function () {
del_row($(this));
return false;
});
function del_row(el) {
console.log("del");
console.log($(el).siblings("input[id$='__Id']").val());
var childitem_id = $(el).siblings("input[id$='__Id']").val();
if (childitem_id == 0 || childitem_id == "") {
$(el).parent("div.editorRow").remove();
} else {
$(el).siblings("input[id$='__isDeleted']").val("true");
$(el).parent("div.editorRow").hide();
}
return false;
}
</script>
