Angular 2 + how to select and loop over multiple elements with the same selector (elementRef.nativeElement)
To achieve expected result, use below option
Option 1:
As you are using .each method, using index and value you can avoid querySelectorAll, reference - http://api.jquery.com/jquery.each/
$("input.option_input").each(function(index,element){
if(element.checked){
element.checked=false;
element.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
element = "";
}
});

Option 2
Option2 and preferred way is to avoid document.querySelectorAll ,as it fetches all matching elements of the DOM irrespective of the current component
Steps to achieved expected result,
- Use Renderer and ElementRef to fetch current component elements
- Use this.elem.nativeElement.querySelectorAll for fetching matching elements
component.ts
import { Component, Renderer, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent {
name = 'Angular 5';
constructor(private renderer: Renderer, private elem: ElementRef){}
unsetAllOptions(){
const elements = this.elem.nativeElement.querySelectorAll('.option_input');
elements.forEach(element => {
if(element.checked){
element.checked = false
}
});
}
}
component.html
<hello name="{{ name }}"></hello>

<input type="checkbox" class="option_input" checked>
<input type="checkbox" class="option_input" checked>
<input type="checkbox" class="option_input" checked>
<input type="checkbox" class="option_input" checked>
<input type="checkbox" class="option_input">
<button (click)="unsetAllOptions()">UncheckAll</button>

In my component I am trying to unselect all checkboxes with the same class name.
querySelector
selects only the first one each time (or once)... andquerySelectorAll
does not select anything.this is the function. I know its wrong to use jQuery like that but it illustrates my goal.
unsetAllOptions(){ var self = this; var i = 0; $("input.option_input").each(function(){ i++; var element = self.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector("input.option_input")[i]; if(element.checked){ // console.log(i) console.log('unchecking:',i); element.checked=false; element.dispatchEvent(new Event('change')); element = ""; } }); }
