I have a literal array of image IDs and I need to swap them in <img src="">
to Next or Previous image on buttons click events. The initial current image ID is known from the img src
provided server-side on initial page load.
Obviously, before swapping, the URL needs to be constructed with the target ID like this:
'http://site.com/images/' + imageID + '.jpg'
I'm a JS/jQuery beginner and would like to learn a correct, minimalistic approach. TIA.
My code to start off:
var images=["777777","666666","555555"];
var max = $(images).length;
$('#swapnextimg').click{
$("#imageswap").attr('src', ...... );
}
<a id="swapnextimg"></a>
<a id="swapprevsimg"></a>
<div id="imagebox">
<img id="imageswap" src="http://site.com/images/123456.jpg">
</div>
Here is an example:
http://jsfiddle.net/ndFGL/
$(function() {
// Image ID array
var images = ['240', '260', '250', '123', '200'];
var max = images.length;
// Get current image src
var curSrc = $('#imageswap').attr('src');
// Find ID in image src
var curID = curSrc.replace(/.*\/(.*?)\.jpg/i, '$1');
var curIdx = 0;
// Search image list for index of current ID
while (curIdx < max) {
if (images[curIdx] == curID) {
break;
}
curIdx++;
}
// For convenience
var imgSrcBase = 'http://placehold.it/';
// Next image on button (and image) click
$('#swapnextimg,#imageswap').click( function() {
curIdx = (curIdx+1) % max;
$("#imageswap").attr('src', imgSrcBase+images[curIdx]+'.jpg');
});
// Prev image on button click
$('#swapprevsimg').click( function() {
curIdx = (curIdx+max-1) % max;
$("#imageswap").attr('src', imgSrcBase+images[curIdx]+'.jpg');
});
});
Try below code,
var images=["777777","666666","555555"];
var max = $(images).length;
var imgPtr = 0;
$('#swapnextimg').click{
if (imgPtr == max) {
//comment the below return and set imgPtr to 0 for rotating the images
return;
}
$("#imageswap").attr('src', 'http://site.com/images/' + images[imgPtr++] + '.jpg');
}
$('#swapprevsimg').click{
if (imgPtr == 0) {
//comment the below return and set imgPtr to max-1 for rotating the images
return;
}
$("#imageswap").attr('src', 'http://site.com/images/' + images[imgPtr--] + '.jpg');
}
<a id="swapnextimg"></a>
<a id="swapprevsimg"></a>
<div id="imagebox">
<img id="imageswap" src="http://site.com/images/123456.jpg">
</div>
I assume that you've got one img tag, and only one. And that the purpose of this is to change that single image tag.
To do that you will need the nex and prev button.
<div id="container">
<img src="#" data-num="" />
<span class"prev">prev</span>
<span class"next">next</span>
</div>
The object:
var obj = [0: 'dog', 1: 'cat'];
now for the next and prev to work. We are going to take a look at the .on()
method.
$('.container span').on('click', function(){
var $this = $(this), // span
currentNum = $this.siblings('img').data('num'), // img data-num
nextNum = $this.is('.next') ? currentNum+1 : currentNum-1, // if class is next add 1, if not remove 1
link = "http://site.com/images/" + obj[nextNum] + ".jpg" // the link
// either it's not the last images or it returns
nextNum != obj.length() || return
$('img').attr('src', link).data('num', nextNum)
})
Hope this helped you. If not please let me know
