I’m not entirely certain if what I’m trying to do may be possible.
However,
<button class = "numbers" value=1>1</button>
all the way to
<button class = "numbers" value=9>9</button>
For example, I have 1 all the way to 9, when one of these buttons were to be clicked, I want the values to be console logged. So, if I clicked the number 1 for example, it would just console log 1 as an int using the value of that specific button, without having to specify each button individually.
Thank you for helping in advance!
>Solution :
Use event delegation. Add one event listener to the container of the buttons, and on click, if the target (the innermost clicked element) was a button that matches .numbers, log the value.
document.querySelector('.container').addEventListener('click', ({ target }) => {
if (!target.matches('.numbers')) return;
console.log(target.value);
});
<div class="container">
<button class = "numbers" value=1>1</button>
<button class = "numbers" value=9>9</button>
</div>
