Add rows in the table using Jquery

Now let’s write the script code for adding the customer rows in the table.

  <script type="text/javascript">
//add customer
    $("#btnaddcustomer").on("click", function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
var CustomerID = $("#txtCustomerID").val();
var CustomerName = $("#txtCustomerName").val();

var PostalCode = $("#txtPostalCode").val();
var tablerow = "<tr data-CustomerID='" + CustomerID + "' data-CustomerName='" + CustomerName + "'"
                        + "data-ContactName='" + ContactName + "' data-Address='" + Address + "' data-PostalCode='" + PostalCode + "'>"
                      + "<td>" + CustomerID + "</td>"
                      + "<td>" + CustomerName + "</td>"
                      + "<td>" + ContactName + "</td>"

                      + "</td>"
                      + "</tr>";
        debugger;
        $("#tblbody").append(tablerow);
        $("input[type='text']").each(function () {
            $(this).val("");
        });
        $("#textarea").val('');
    });
    </script>

How to edit selected row from html table using jquery

Now we want to use jQuery to click on a table cell and edit the data.

On Click of the edit button, we are replacing the table cell with a text input and calls custom events so we can handle whatever use case cancel, update, delete action.


    <script type="text/javascript">
//handle edit button click
    $("#tblbody").on("click", ".btn-editcustomer", function () {
        debugger;

crud operations in html table using jquery

JavaScript code handles the insertion, editing, and deletion of rows within an HTML table using jQuery.

Add Customer Button Event Listener:

When the "Add Customer" button is clicked, this function is triggered. It prevents the default form submission behavior, retrieves values from input fields for CustomerID, CustomerName, ContactName, Address, and PostalCode, constructs a new table row (<tr>), and appends it to the table body (#tblbody). After appending, it clears the input fields.

Edit Customer Button Event Listener:

When the "Edit" button within a row is clicked, this function is invoked. It retrieves the data attributes of the selected row to pre-fill the input fields for editing. Then, it replaces the table data cells (<td>) with input fields containing the current values. Additionally, it provides buttons for updating and canceling the update.

Cancel Update Button Event Listener:

This function cancels the editing process initiated by the "Edit" button. It restores the original values of the customer details and provides buttons for editing and deleting the customer.

Update Customer Button Event Listener:

When the "Update" button within a row is clicked after editing customer details, this function is triggered. It retrieves the updated values from the input fields, replaces the table data with these new values, updates the data attributes of the row, and restores the edit and delete buttons.

Delete Customer Button Event Listener:

When the "Delete" button within a row is clicked, this function is called. It removes the entire row from the table.

Overall, this script allows functionality for managing customer data in an HTML table, allowing users to add, edit, and delete customer records dynamically.
