Create a Input and Label for each object in an array

Question

I have populated an array with a list of ingredients. I need to make a dynamically create a checkbox & label combo for each object (just the "Name" Object) within the array

here is the code that I am trying to create for each object in the array

<div class="column">
<label for="Doughnuts">Doughnuts</label>
<input type="checkbox" name = "Doughnuts">
</div>

I need to replicate that code fragment for each object in array

Also how would i put the checkbox values into an array to use used later

You forgot to post your own attempted solution, or explain in what way your code is failing. Also to associate a <label> with an <input> the value of the for attribute must be equal the id attribute-value, not the name. — David Thomas

I am new to javascript programming. I have been using the following code to get the objects out of the array however I dont know how to build on from that Object.keys(AvailableToppings).forEach(function(key) { console.log(key, AvailableToppings[key]); }); — Humza Yusuf

  {Name: "Anchovies", ExtraPrice: 0.60},
  {Name: "Mushroom", ExtraPrice: 0.50},
  {Name: "Garlic", ExtraPrice: 0.80},
  {Name: "Pinapple", ExtraPrice: 1.00},
  {Name: "Turkey Ham", ExtraPrice: 1.00},
  {Name: "Spicy Beef", ExtraPrice: 1.50},
  {Name: "Spicy Chicken", ExtraPrice: 1.50},
  {Name: "Jalapenos", ExtraPrice: 0.50}
];

var ingreChkboxes = document.getElementById('ingre-chkboxes');

AvailableToppings.map((AvailableTopping, index) => {
  var Name = AvailableTopping.Name;
  var parentDiv = document.createElement('div');
  parentDiv.setAttribute('class', 'column');

  var Label = document.createElement('label');
  Label.setAttribute('for', Name);
  var Node = document.createTextNode(Name + " ");
  Label.appendChild(Node);

  var Input = document.createElement('input');
  Input.setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');
  Input.setAttribute('name', Name);

  parentDiv.appendChild(Label).appendChild(Input);

  ingreChkboxes.appendChild(parentDiv);
});

function submitToppings() {
    var chosenOptions = [];
    var options = document.querySelectorAll("#ingre-chkboxes input[type=checkbox]");

    options.forEach((option) => {
       if(option.checked) {
           chosenOptions.push(option.getAttribute('name'));
       }
    });

    alert(chosenOptions);

How would i push all checked inputs into an array?

arvie Over a year ago

@HumzaYusuf if that data is also available in the object, you can add Input.setAttribute('checked', 'checked'); after the Input.setAttribute('name', Name); . You can wrap it within an statement to check if the input should be pre-checked, like: if(AvailableTopping.isChecked) { Input.setAttribute('checked', 'checked'); }

Hi. I want to store the users checked options into an array which i can reference later. My intention is to show the toppings that a person picked in a bill

arvie Over a year ago

You could do this with a submit event for example. I've add some code to the JS and HTML here above to paint the picture

The value of the attribute for of label element must be a single id.

AngularJs library is having ng-repeat to display an array. But in pure java you have to update DOM for your array of objects.

not java, but javascript

You can do something like this:

const AvailableToppings = [
  {Name: "Pepperoni",ExtraPrice: 0.75},
  {Name: "Tomatoes", ExtraPrice: 0.70},
  {Name: "Anchovies", ExtraPrice: 0.60},
  {Name: "Mushroom", ExtraPrice: 0.50},
  {Name: "Garlic", ExtraPrice: 0.80},
  {Name: "Pinapple", ExtraPrice: 1.00},
  {Name: "Turkey Ham", ExtraPrice: 1.00},
  {Name: "Spicy Beef", ExtraPrice: 1.50},
  {Name: "Spicy Chicken", ExtraPrice: 1.50},
  {Name: "Jalapenos", ExtraPrice: 0.50}
];

let inputs = document.createElement("span");
inputs.innerHTML = AvailableToppings.map(item => `<div class="column">
  <label for="${item.Name}">${item.Name}</label>
  <input type="checkbox" name="${item.Name}" value="${item.ExtraPrice}">
</div>`).join('');
document.getElementById('checkBoxContainer').appendChild(inputs);

}


/* Clear floats after the columns */

.ingre-chkbox {
  display: block;
}

<div class="modal-bb">
  <!-- Container for modal-box -->
  <div class="modal-bb-contents">
    <!-- modal-box -->
    <div id="button-container">
      <p class="expander-toggle">+</p>
      <button id="Ingrediants-button">Choose Bread</button>
    </div>
    <!-- Should probably have an ID -->
    <div id="checkBoxContainer" class="ingre-chkbox"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Hope this helps,
