Need to add an attribute to the DIV element based on checkbox selection

Avatar

Level 4

This might be a silly question but that's my requirement !

 

I'm using AEM 6.5.10.

I have a checkbox as one of the field in my cq:dialog. On selection of checkbox, I need append the attribute "data-nosnippet" to my <div> element.

For instance, my complete HTML of the component is below

 

<div data-sly-use.handler="sample.test.Hello" 

data-sly-use.clientLib="/libs/granite/sightly/templates/clientlib.html"

data-sly-unwrap>

${handler.heading}

</div>

 

  • If I select the checkbox, it should give me the below result in the view source of the page,
    <div class="hello" data-nosnippet>heading</div>

 

  • If I unselect the checkbox, it should give me the below result in the view source of the page,
    <div class="hello">heading</div>

I'm trying to get the multiple options of using data-sly-attribute or other stuff which is not giving me the desired result. 

Kindly help me in achieving this functionality.

 

Thank you !

Checkbox dialog field should be like

Your HTL should be

<div class="${properties.checkbox @context='unsafe'}>Heading</div>

Important Note: Make sure you don't close the quote after expression i.e quote started after class= and it should not end in HTL as the quote is coming from the dialog properties.

did you try something like this? 

 

<div class="hello" ${handler.checbox ? 'data-nosnippet' : ''}> heading </div> 

 

or 

   <sly data-sly-test="${handler.chebox.}" data-sly-unwrap>

        <div class="hello" data-nosnippet>heading</div>

  </sly>

- Tried below option, it did not work

<div class="hello" ${handler.checbox ? 'data-nosnippet' : ''}> heading </div> 

- Yet to try second option, the HTML seems to be quite big, can't copy & paste it twice based on the checkbox selection in same HTML.

Hi @samsundar23 

 

data-sly-attribute should work here:

 

<section class="radio-section radio-section-1" data-sly-attribute.data-nosnippet=${properties.checkboxValue}>

 

It will give something like below when the checkbox is checked.

 

<section class="radio-section radio-section-1" data-nosnippet="true">

Firstly, HTL currently supporting HTML attributes with key-value pairs.

Approach 1 (Recommended):

So, you can add attribute something like data-nosnippet="true" if checkbox is checked and no attribute if unchecked.

In your dialog checkbox field add value attribute and set value as (String) true.

Note: It is always recommended to use uncheckedValue property for checkbox.

Add uncheckedValue property and set a blank value.

In HTL

<div class="hello" data-nosnippet=${properties.checkboxName}>Heading</div>

Approach 2 (Personally don't recommended):

If you srtictly want to use attribute data-nosnippet without any value. Then you need to apply a cheat.

  1. You need an attribute which present always. Here you can take class.
  2. To your dialog checkbox filed value property set value as hello" data-nosnippet
  3. To your dialog checkbox feild uncheckedValue property set value hello"

In HTL

<h1 class="${properties.checkboxName @context='unsafe'}>Heading</h1>

Your suggestion did not work bro I meant to say about the 2nd approach which fits in my requirement best.

Can you elaborate much more to make sure I'm not missing anything from my end.
