Looking for a way to execute a mass delete function on a list of items? Each item is equipped with a checkbox, and there's a designated button to remove all selected items. Sounds like a job for Symfony!
The challenge here lies in the fact that the list with checkboxes populates via AJAX. This means we can't define listeners in the template where the list is created; rather, it needs to be done in the template receiving the AJAX response.
Let me share some snippets of my code:
- The template generating the list includes:
`
foreach($items as $item){
echo '<input id="'.$item->getItemID().'" type="checkbox" onClick="[CAN'T REFER TO A FUNCTION IN THE OTHER TEMPLATE]">';
echo 'and so forth ...';
}`
- As for the template that receives the list:
`
<div id="itemList">
[insert AJAX list content here]
</div>
<input type="button" value="delete all items">`
So, how can this be implemented? How do I set it up so that when the 'delete all items' button is clicked, it triggers a Symfony action while passing an array of selected checkboxes (or equivalent data) as a parameter?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
