I want to Show/Hide replies for each comment. In order to do that, my jQuery selector has to be variable class name (so that I can show/hide replies of a specific comment without affecting replies of other comments). I've written the PHP code appending comment_id with the class to make the classes different. But I get these IDs from Laravel blade loop and I do not know how to do the same in jQuery. Here's my blade.php -
@foreach($comments as $comment)
<div class="box-comment">
<div class="comment-text">
{{$comment->body}}<br />
<button class="btn btn-link text-muted toggle-replies-{{$comment->id}}">Show/Hide Replies</button>
</div> <!-- /.comment-text -->
</div> <!-- /.box-comment -->
<div class="box-comment reply-box-{{$comment->id}} initially-hidden" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<input type="text" placeholder="Write a reply...">
</div>
@foreach($comment->replies as $reply)
@if($comment->id == $reply->comment_id)
<div class="box-comment reply-box-{{$comment->id}} initially-hidden" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<div class="comment-text">
{{$reply->body}}
</div> <!-- /.comment-text -->
</div> <!-- /.box-comment -->
@endif
@endforeach
@endforeach
And this is jQuery:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".toggle-comments").click(function(){
$(".comment-box").slideToggle();
});
$(".toggle-replies-1").click(function(){
$(".reply-box-1").slideToggle();
});
});
</script>
I've manually put a '1' there and it shows/hides the replies of the first comment. I need to do it for all the comments. It shouldn't be difficult but I'm still learning jQuery. I hope someone can help me with it.
