Count number of li element and addclass












6















I am trying to count LI elements, and addclass to another div.



For example,






$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $(this).find('.box1 li').length;
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>


<div class="box2">text</div>





This should be like this



<div class="box2 list3">text</div>


But I don't know why when I check on the DOM code,



<div class="box2 list0">text</div>


I get this result.



What do I need to fix the code?
Please help.

    Your $(this) is not pointing to .box2 as you expect

  • @Mr.Alien It is what it actually does, pointing to .box2, hence not working as expected as there is no .box1 after it.

  • @Mr.Alien A console.log($(this) shows that $(this) is pointing to .box2. If you reverse the HTML structure of box1 and box2 and change the JavaScript to return 'list' + $(this).find('+ .box1 li').length;, you'll see it's working properly using the adjacent sibling selector added to the start of find.

Pretty close. box1 comes before box2, so your query beginning at box2, or $(this), would return 0 results as find looks ahead in the DOM.






$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $('.box1 li').length;
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>

<div class="box2">text</div>

Here $(this) is referring to box2 element.Only $('.box1 li').length is what you required






$('.box2').addClass(function() {
return 'list_' + $('.box1 li').length;
});

.list_3 {
color: green;
}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>
<div class="box2">text</div>

this is not pointing to the element you are thinking, it is referring to DIV element on which the addClass() is invoked and this element does not have .box1 li. Thus find() is failing to refer your intended element.



Simply use:



$('.box1 li').length 





$('.box2').addClass(function(){
console.log(this.nodeName); // DIV
return 'list' + $('.box1 li').length;
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>
<div class="box2">text</div>

    $(this).find will find the li in the div with box2 class which are not present. Instead check this in the div with box1 class and find the li elements






    $('.box2').addClass(function(){
    return 'list' + $('.box1').find('li').length;
    });

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <ul class="box1">
    <li>a</li>
    <li>b</li>
    <li>c</li>
    </ul>


    <div class="box2">text</div>

      You can simply do this by following method






      $('.box2').addClass('list' + $('.box1 li').length);

      <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
      <ul class="box1">
      <li>a</li>
      <li>b</li>
      <li>c</li>
      </ul>
      <div class="box2">text</div>

        this is not pointing to the element you are thinking, it is referring to DIV element on which the addClass() is invoked and this element does not have .box1 li. Thus find() is failing to refer your intended element.



        Simply use:



        $('.box1 li').length 





        $('.box2').addClass(function(){
        console.log(this.nodeName); // DIV
        return 'list' + $('.box1 li').length;
        });

        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <ul class="box1">
        <li>a</li>
        <li>b</li>
        <li>c</li>
        </ul>
        <div class="box2">text</div>

                $(this).find will find the li in the div with box2 class which are not present. Instead check this in the div with box1 class and find the li elements






                $('.box2').addClass(function(){
                return 'list' + $('.box1').find('li').length;
