I am trying to get the todo titles from jsonplaceholder.typicode.com JSON. I have three buttons and each botton has and id, that id is related to the json todo. When you click on a botton you see the title of that json todo.
Button 1 = jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1
Button 2 = jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/2
etc..
$('button').click(function (event) {
var id = event.target.id;
console.log(id);
$.ajax({
url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/" + id,
type: "GET"
}).done(function (data) {
$('#result').append('<div class="todo"></div>');
$.each(data, function (key, value) {
if (key == "title") {
$('.todo').append('<p>' + key + ': ' + value + '</p>');
}
});
}).fail(function (event) {
alert(event.status);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="1">A</button>
<button id="2">B</button>
<button id="3">C</button>
<div id="result">
</div>
The problem is that titles repeat each time I click on a button. Why this occurs?
</div>
Why? Because you append another <div class="todo"></div>
each time button is clicked and then append the content to every one that exists
You can isolate the new <div class="todo">
and only append the new content to that
var $todo = '<div class="todo"></div>'
$('#result').append($todo);
$.each(data, function(key, value) {
if (key == "title") {
$todo.append('<p>' + key + ': ' + value + '</p>');
}
});
Or empty the $('#result')
before you add the new content if you don't want to see the first set by changing:
$('#result').append('<div class="todo"></div>');
To
$('#result').html('<div class="todo"></div>');
On each ajax done callback you first create a new todo
div:
$('#result').append('<div class="todo"></div>');`
and after that, you add the result to all elements with a todo
class:
$('.todo').append('<p>' + key + ': ' + value + '</p>');
I'd suggest removing the first line and changing the second to $('#result')
