Sometimes, we want to add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript.

In this article, we’ll look at how to add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript.

How to add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript?

To add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript, we can call the addEventListener method on the selected div.

For instance, we write:

<div class='drill_cursor'>
  hello world
</div>

to add a div with a class.

Then we write:

const div = document.querySelector('.drill_cursor');

div.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
  console.log('Hi!');
});

We select the div with document.querySelector.

Then we call addEventListener with 'click' to add a click event listener.

And then we set the click event listener to a function that logs 'Hi!' in the console.

Therefore, when we click on the div, we should see 'Hi!' logged.

Conclusion

To add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript, we can call the addEventListener method on the selected div.

Sometimes, we want to get the response JSON and response status with JavaScript fetch.

In this article, we’ll look at how to get the response JSON and response status with JavaScript fetch.

How to get the response JSON and response status with JavaScript fetch?

To get the response JSON and response status with JavaScript fetch, we can get the status property from the response object.

For instance, we write:

(async () => {
  const r = await fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1")
  const body = await r.json()
  const {
    status
  } = r
  const obj = {
    status,
    body
  }
  console.log(obj)
})()

We make a GET request with fetch.

Then we call r.json to get the response body JSON.

Next, we get the status property from the r response object.

And then we combine them into one object and assign it to obj.

Therefore, obj is:

{
  "status": 200,
  "body": {
    "userId": 1,
    "id": 1,
    "title": "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",
    "body": "quia et suscipit\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\nreprehenderit molestiae ut ut quas totam\nnostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto"
  }
}

Conclusion

To get the response JSON and response status with JavaScript fetch, we can get the status property from the response object.

Sometimes, we want to auto-highlight an input field on focus with JavaScript.

In this article, we’ll look at how to auto-highlight an input field on focus with JavaScript.

How to auto-highlight an input field on focus with JavaScript?

To auto-highlight an input field on focus with JavaScript, we can call select on the element when the focus event is emitted.

For instance, we write:

<input type="text" value="test" />

to add an input with a value filled in.

Then we write:

const input = document.querySelector('input')

input.addEventListener('focus', () => {
  input.select()
})

to select the input with document.querySelector.

And then we call input.addEventListener to add a focus event listener.

In the event handler, we call input.select to highlight the value in the input box.

As a result, we see the input box value highlighted when we click inside the input box.

Conclusion

To auto-highlight an input field on focus with JavaScript, we can call select on the element when the focus event is emitted.

Sometimes, we want to select Fabric.js object programmatically with JavaScript.

In this article, we’ll look at how to select Fabric.js object programmatically with JavaScript.

How to select Fabric.js object programmatically with JavaScript?

To select Fabric.js object programmatically with JavaScript, we can use the canvas.setActiveObject method.

For instance, we write:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/460/fabric.min.js"></script>

<canvas id='canvas' style='width: 300px; height: 300px'></canvas>

We add the fabric.js script and the canvas element.

Then we write:

const canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');

canvas.add(new fabric.Rect({
  left: 80,
  top: 80,
  width: 75,
  height: 50,
  fill: 'green',
  stroke: 'black',
  strokeWidth: 3,
  padding: 10
}));

canvas.add(new fabric.Circle({
  left: 50,
  top: 50,
  radius: 30,
  fill: 'gray',
  stroke: 'black',
  strokeWidth: 3
}));

canvas.setActiveObject(canvas.item(0));

We use the fabric.Canvas constructor with the ID of the canvas to create a fabric canvas.

Then we call canvas.add to add a rectangle and circle at various positions, shapes, fill and sizes.

Then we set the select item to the item we added first, which is the rectangle, by writing:

canvas.setActiveObject(canvas.item(0));

We call canvas.setActiveObject with canvas.item(0) to select the first object to be selected,.

Conclusion

To select Fabric.js object programmatically with JavaScript, we can use the canvas.setActiveObject method.
