I was searching on working examples for django inline_formset with javascript and found this post Add a dynamic form to a django formset using javascript in a right way. In the process, I tried to convert the Jquery portion into pure javascript? I have tried
const btnAddMoreImg = document.querySelector('#add-image-button');
btnAddMoreImg.addEventListener('click', (evt) => {
evt.preventDefault();
let count = document.querySelector('#item-images').children.length;
let tmplMarkup = document.querySelector('#images-template').innerHTML;
let compiledTmpl = tmplMarkup.replace(/__prefix__/g, count);
$('#item-images').append(compiledTmpl); // how to convert this to pure javascript?
// update form count
document.querySelector('#id_images-TOTAL_FORMS').setAttribute('value', count + 1);
})
This works but there is still this jquery code $('#item-images').append(compiledTmpl)
which I tried to change to document.querySelector('#item-images').append(compiledTmpl)
, but the end result would be a string of html tags instead of a new form added.
