Electron's localstorage not saving my on-click events on dynamically created elements
1
I am creating a desktop application using Electron and I'm running into an issue regarding the local storage of on click events.
In my application, the user enters 5 groups of information (publication name, publisher name, status, submission date, response date)
the information is then placed into an HTML table through the D.O.M, where it is separated into rows by entry and columns by information category with Remove and Edit buttons on the far right columns.
e.g.
|name1|publisher1|awaiting|noDate|NoDate2|[RemoveButton][EditButton]|
|name2|publisher2|denied|noDate3|NoDate4|[RemoveButton]|[EditButton]|
|name3|publisher3|accepted|noDate5|NoDate6|[RemoveButton]|[EditButton]|
and so on, as the user enters more entries, the more rows are appended to the table. Each row that is appended, however, always has the 2 remove and edit buttons on the right. I have assigned a function to these 2 buttons like this:
The Remove Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")) {
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
} else {}
};
The Edit Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to edit this item?")) {
var publicationName = document.getElementById("publicationNameTextField");
var publisherName = document.getElementById("publisherNameTextField");
var publicationStatus = document.getElementById(
"publicationStatusTextField"
);
var publicationDateSubmitted = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateSubmittedTextField"
);
var publicationDateResponse = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateResponseTextField"
);
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
rowIndex = tr.rowIndex;
var cell1 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[0].innerHTML;
var cell2 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[1].innerHTML;
var cell3 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[2].innerHTML;
var cell4 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[3].innerHTML;
var cell5 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[4].innerHTML;
publicationName.value = cell1;
publisherName.value = cell2;
publicationStatus.value = cell3;
publicationDateSubmitted.value = cell4;
publicationDateResponse.value = cell5;
publicationName.focus();
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);
} else {}
};
(To elaborate further on the edit button, It deletes the row that the button is in and re enters all the column entries publication name, status, etc. back into the textfields to be revised and resubmitted.)
(Formatting of code may not be exact, as I am not used to formatting it on here)
These buttons do their job during an active session (when the submissions are added as the application is running) but when I close the application and reopen it and/or force reload it, the buttons seem to lose their functionality. I believe this to be some sort of issue with how I'm storing my local storage.
What I do find strange, however, I have a "clear all button" that essentially clears all the content in the table. This button is formatted in the same way the other buttons are but it is not dynamically generated like them. Because of this, it leads me to believe there is a problem in how my functions are being declared.
var clearBtn = document.getElementById("clearAllButton");
clearBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to clear your Publications?")) {
for (var i = 1; i < table.rows.length; ) {
table.deleteRow(i);
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
}
} else {
}
});

// This code is required in the HTML by a require('renderer.js) and thus runs from the page.

If I haven't made things clear enough, feel free to ask me questions to clear up confusion.

localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
} else {}
};
The Edit Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to edit this item?")) {
var publicationName = document.getElementById("publicationNameTextField");
var publisherName = document.getElementById("publisherNameTextField");
var publicationStatus = document.getElementById(
"publicationStatusTextField"

var publicationDateSubmitted = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateSubmittedTextField"
);
var publicationDateResponse = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateResponseTextField"
);
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
rowIndex = tr.rowIndex;
var cell1 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[0].innerHTML;
var cell2 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[1].innerHTML;
var cell3 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[2].innerHTML;
var cell4 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[3].innerHTML;
var cell5 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[4].innerHTML;
publicationName.value = cell1;

I am creating a desktop application using Electron and I'm running into an issue regarding the local storage of on click events.
In my application, the user enters 5 groups of information (publication name, publisher name, status, submission date, response date)
the information is then placed into an HTML table through the D.O.M, where it is separated into rows by entry and columns by information category with Remove and Edit buttons on the far right columns.
e.g.
|name1|publisher1|awaiting|noDate|NoDate2|[RemoveButton][EditButton]|
|name2|publisher2|denied|noDate3|NoDate4|[RemoveButton]|[EditButton]|
|name3|publisher3|accepted|noDate5|NoDate6|[RemoveButton]|[EditButton]|
and so on, as the user enters more entries, the more rows are appended to the table. Each row that is appended, however, always has the 2 remove and edit buttons on the right. I have assigned a function to these 2 buttons like this:
The Remove Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")) {
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
} else {}
};
The Edit Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to edit this item?")) {
var publicationName = document.getElementById("publicationNameTextField");
var publisherName = document.getElementById("publisherNameTextField");
var publicationStatus = document.getElementById(
"publicationStatusTextField"
);
var publicationDateSubmitted = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateSubmittedTextField"
);
var publicationDateResponse = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateResponseTextField"
);
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
rowIndex = tr.rowIndex;
var cell1 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[0].innerHTML;
var cell2 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[1].innerHTML;
var cell3 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[2].innerHTML;
var cell4 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[3].innerHTML;
var cell5 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[4].innerHTML;
publicationName.value = cell1;
publisherName.value = cell2;
publicationStatus.value = cell3;
publicationDateSubmitted.value = cell4;
publicationDateResponse.value = cell5;
publicationName.focus();
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);
} else {}
};
(To elaborate further on the edit button, It deletes the row that the button is in and re enters all the column entries publication name, status, etc. back into the textfields to be revised and resubmitted.)
(Formatting of code may not be exact, as I am not used to formatting it on here)
These buttons do their job during an active session (when the submissions are added as the application is running) but when I close the application and reopen it and/or force reload it, the buttons seem to lose their functionality. I believe this to be some sort of issue with how I'm storing my local storage.
What I do find strange, however, I have a "clear all button" that essentially clears all the content in the table. This button is formatted in the same way the other buttons are but it is not dynamically generated like them. Because of this, it leads me to believe there is a problem in how my functions are being declared.
var clearBtn = document.getElementById("clearAllButton");
clearBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to clear your Publications?")) {
for (var i = 1; i < table.rows.length; ) {
table.deleteRow(i);
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
}
} else {
}
});
Here is the full code snippet:
// ALL javascript code that interacts with the page is used here.
// This code is required in the HTML by a require('renderer.js) and thus runs from the page.
// The DOM can be accessed from this file.
// Declare variables from document
//var publicationName = document.getElementById('publicationNameTextField');
//var publisherName = document.getElementById('publisherNameTextField');
//var publicationStatus = document.getElementById('publicationStatusTextField');
//var publicationDateSubmitted = document.getElementById('publicationDateSubmittedTextField');
//var publicationDateResponse = document.getElementById('publicationDateResponseTextField');
"use strict";
// Save Data on close
window.onclose = function() {
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
};
// Save data failsafe in event of crash
window.onabort = function() {
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
};
// Declare submit button
var submitBtn = document.getElementById("submitButton");
// Declare table data will be displayed and saved to
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
// Get value of textfields from DOM
var publicationName = document.getElementById("publicationNameTextField").value;
var publisherName = document.getElementById("publisherNameTextField").value;

I am creating a desktop application using Electron and I'm running into an issue regarding the local storage of on click events.
In my application, the user enters 5 groups of information (publication name, publisher name, status, submission date, response date)
the information is then placed into an HTML table through the D.O.M, where it is separated into rows by entry and columns by information category with Remove and Edit buttons on the far right columns.
e.g.
|name1|publisher1|awaiting|noDate|NoDate2|[RemoveButton][EditButton]|
|name2|publisher2|denied|noDate3|NoDate4|[RemoveButton]|[EditButton]|
|name3|publisher3|accepted|noDate5|NoDate6|[RemoveButton]|[EditButton]|
and so on, as the user enters more entries, the more rows are appended to the table. Each row that is appended, however, always has the 2 remove and edit buttons on the right. I have assigned a function to these 2 buttons like this:
The Remove Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")) {
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
} else {}
};
The Edit Button:
editButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to edit this item?")) {
var publicationName = document.getElementById("publicationNameTextField");
var publisherName = document.getElementById("publisherNameTextField");
var publicationStatus = document.getElementById(
"publicationStatusTextField"
);
var publicationDateSubmitted = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateSubmittedTextField"
);
var publicationDateResponse = document.getElementById(
"publicationDateResponseTextField"
);
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
var td = event.target.parentNode;
var tr = td.parentNode;
rowIndex = tr.rowIndex;
var cell1 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[0].innerHTML;
var cell2 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[1].innerHTML;
var cell3 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[2].innerHTML;
var cell4 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[3].innerHTML;
var cell5 = table.rows[rowIndex].cells[4].innerHTML;
publicationName.value = cell1;
publisherName.value = cell2;
publicationStatus.value = cell3;
publicationDateSubmitted.value = cell4;
publicationDateResponse.value = cell5;
publicationName.focus();
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);
} else {}
};
(To elaborate further on the edit button, It deletes the row that the button is in and re enters all the column entries publication name, status, etc. back into the textfields to be revised and resubmitted.)
(Formatting of code may not be exact, as I am not used to formatting it on here)
These buttons do their job during an active session (when the submissions are added as the application is running) but when I close the application and reopen it and/or force reload it, the buttons seem to lose their functionality. I believe this to be some sort of issue with how I'm storing my local storage.
What I do find strange, however, I have a "clear all button" that essentially clears all the content in the table. This button is formatted in the same way the other buttons are but it is not dynamically generated like them. Because of this, it leads me to believe there is a problem in how my functions are being declared.
var clearBtn = document.getElementById("clearAllButton");
clearBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to clear your Publications?")) {
for (var i = 1; i < table.rows.length; ) {
table.deleteRow(i);
localStorage.setItem("TableStorage", table.innerHTML);
}
} else {
}
});
Here is the full code snippet:

// This code is required in the HTML by a require('renderer.js) and thus runs from the page.

};

After further examination, I have found the problem. The on click events on the buttons were being assigned in the session but the local storage could not store the events because they weren't strings.
To solve this:
Leave your on click events on your add button so that they function during the session, but add a for loop on the page load for the buttons you wish to use. Make sure you assign a class for your element during the button click to reference it on the page load.
e.g.
window.onload = function() {
var savedInner = localStorage.getItem("listStorageInner");
var savedOuter = localStorage.getItem("listStorageOuter");
// If there are any saved items, update our list
if (savedInner) {
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
targetList.innerHTML = savedInner;
}
if (savedOuter) {
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
targetList.outerHTML = savedOuter;
}
var removeButtons = document.getElementsByClassName("removeMeBtn");
for (let i = 0; i < removeButtons.length; i++) {
removeButtons[i].addEventListener(
"click",
(function() {
return function() {
let parent = this.parentElement;
parent.parentElement.removeChild(parent);
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
};
})(i),
false
);
}
var editBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("editMeBtn");
for (let j = 0; j < editBtns.length; j++) {
editBtns[j].addEventListener(
"click",
(function() {
return function() {
let parent = this.parentElement;
document.getElementById("entryInput").value = parent.textContent;
parent.focus();
parent.parentElement.removeChild(parent);
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
};
})(j),
false
);
}
};
The for loop goes through all elements that have the class names of the buttons, then assigns the onclick event on the page load. That way the button click events always work and save properly through local storage. Also, make sure to watch the scope when it comes to using local storage.
Hope this helps if someone else encounters this issue.

"click",
(function() {
return function() {
let parent = this.parentElement;
document.getElementById("entryInput").value = parent.textContent;
parent.focus();
parent.parentElement.removeChild(parent);
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
};
})(j),
false
);
}
};
The for loop goes through all elements that have the class names of the buttons, then assigns the onclick event on the page load. That way the button click events always work and save properly through local storage. Also, make sure to watch the scope when it comes to using local storage.
Hope this helps if someone else encounters this issue.

After further examination, I have found the problem. The on click events on the buttons were being assigned in the session but the local storage could not store the events because they weren't strings.
To solve this:
Leave your on click events on your add button so that they function during the session, but add a for loop on the page load for the buttons you wish to use. Make sure you assign a class for your element during the button click to reference it on the page load.
e.g.
window.onload = function() {
var savedInner = localStorage.getItem("listStorageInner");
var savedOuter = localStorage.getItem("listStorageOuter");
// If there are any saved items, update our list
if (savedInner) {
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
targetList.innerHTML = savedInner;
}
if (savedOuter) {
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
targetList.outerHTML = savedOuter;
}
var removeButtons = document.getElementsByClassName("removeMeBtn");
for (let i = 0; i < removeButtons.length; i++) {
removeButtons[i].addEventListener(
"click",
(function() {
return function() {
let parent = this.parentElement;
parent.parentElement.removeChild(parent);
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
};
})(i),
false
);
}
var editBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("editMeBtn");
for (let j = 0; j < editBtns.length; j++) {
editBtns[j].addEventListener(
"click",
(function() {
return function() {
let parent = this.parentElement;
document.getElementById("entryInput").value = parent.textContent;
parent.focus();
parent.parentElement.removeChild(parent);
let targetList = document.getElementById("projectList");
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.removeItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageInner", targetList.innerHTML);
localStorage.setItem("listStorageOuter", targetList.outerHTML);
};
})(j),
false
);
}
};
