jQuery to loop through elements with the same class

Question

I have a load of divs with the class testimonial and I want to use jquery to loop through them to check for each div if a specific condition is true. If it is true, it should perform an action.

Does anyone know how I would do this?

Answer 1

Use each: 'i' is the postion in the array, obj is the DOM object that you are iterating (can be accessed through the jQuery wrapper $(this) as well).

$('.testimonial').each(function(i, obj) {
    //test
});

Check the api reference for more information.

Answer 2

try this...

$('.testimonial').each(function(){
    //if statement here 
    // use $(this) to reference the current div in the loop
    //you can try something like...


    if(condition){

    }


 });

Answer 3

It's pretty simple to do this without jQuery these days.

Without jQuery:

Just select the elements and use the .forEach() method to iterate over them:

const elements = document.querySelectorAll('.testimonial');
Array.from(elements).forEach((element, index) => {
  // conditional logic here.. access element
});

In older browsers:

var testimonials = document.querySelectorAll('.testimonial');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(testimonials, function(element, index) {
  // conditional logic here.. access element
});

Answer 4

Try this example

Html

<div class="testimonial" data-index="1">
    Testimonial 1
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="2">
    Testimonial 2
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="3">
    Testimonial 3
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="4">
    Testimonial 4
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="5">
    Testimonial 5
</div>

When we want to access those divs which has data-index greater than 2 then we need this jquery.

$('div[class="testimonial"]').each(function(index,item){
    if(parseInt($(item).data('index'))>2){
        $(item).html('Testimonial '+(index+1)+' by each loop');
    }
});

Answer 5

you can do it this way

$('.testimonial').each(function(index, obj){
    //you can use this to access the current item
});

Answer 6

jQuery's .eq() can help you traverse through elements with an indexed approach.

var testimonialElements = $(".testimonial");
for(var i=0; i<testimonialElements.length; i++){
    var element = testimonialElements.eq(i);
    //do something with element
}

Answer 7

I may be missing part of the question, but I believe you can simply do this:

$('.testimonial').each((index, element) => {
    if (/* Condition */) {
        // Do Something
    }
});

This uses jQuery's each method: https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/iterating/

Answer 8

divs  = $('.testimonial')
for(ind in divs){
  div = divs[ind];
  //do whatever you want
}

Answer 9

With a simple for loop:

var testimonials= $('.testimonial');
for (var i = 0; i < testimonials.length; i++) {
  // Using $() to re-wrap the element.
  $(testimonials[i]).text('a');
}

Answer 10

You can do this concisely using .filter. The following example will hide all .testimonial divs containing the word "something":

$(".testimonial").filter(function() {
    return $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf("something") !== -1;
}).hide();

Answer 11

Without jQuery updated

document.querySelectorAll('.testimonial').forEach(function (element, index) {
    element.innerHTML = 'Testimonial ' + (index + 1);
});

<div class="testimonial"></div>
<div class="testimonial"></div>

Answer 12

You could use the jQuery $each method to loop through all the elements with class testimonial. i => is the index of the element in collection and val gives you the object of that particular element and you can use "val" to further access the properties of your element and check your condition.

$.each($('.testimonal'), function(i, val) { 
    if(your condition){
       //your action
    }
});

Answer 13

In JavaScript ES6 .forEach() over an array-like NodeList collection given by Element.querySelectorAll()

document.querySelectorAll(".testimonial").forEach((el, idx) => {
  el.style.color = "red";
  console.log(`${idx} Element ${el.tagName} with ID #${el.id} says: ${el.textContent}` );
});

<p class="testimonial" id="1">This is some text</p>
<div class="testimonial" id="2">Lorem ipsum</div>

Answer 14

$('.testimonal').each(function(i,v){
  if (condition) {
    doSomething();
  }
});

Answer 15

More precise:

$.each($('.testimonal'), function(index, value) { 
    console.log(index + ':' + value); 
});
