I have several div\'s with \"project[0-9]\" classes:
You can improve the existing hasClass
method:
// This is all that you need:
(orig => {
jQuery.fn.hasClass = function(className) {
return className instanceof RegExp
? this.attr('class') && this.attr('class')
.split(/\s+/)
.findIndex(name => className.test(name)) >= 0
: orig.call(this, className);
}
})(jQuery.fn.hasClass);
// Test the new method:
Boolean.prototype.toString = function(){ this === true ? 'true' : 'false' };
const el = $('#test');
el.append("hasClass('some-name-27822'): " + el.hasClass('some-name-27822'));
el.append("\nhasClass(/some-name-\d+/): " + el.hasClass(/some-name-\d+/));
el.append("\nhasClass('anothercoolclass'): " + el.hasClass('anothercoolclass'));
el.append("\nhasClass(/anothercoolclass/i): " + el.hasClass(/anothercoolclass/i));
el.append("\nhasClass(/^-name-/): " + el.hasClass(/^-name-/));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<pre id="test" class="some-name-0 some-name-27822 another-some-name-111 AnotherCoolClass"></pre>
A better approach for your html would be: I believe these div's share some common properties.
<div class="project type1"></div>
<div class="project type2"></div>
<div class="project type3"></div>
<div class="project type4"></div>
Then you can find them using:
$('.project')
$('div[class*="project"]')
will not fail with something like this:
<div class="some-other-class project1"></div>
why don't you use for to check numbers
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if(....hasClass("project"+i))
{
//do what you need
}
}
$('div[class^="project"]')
will fail with something like this:
<div class="some-other-class project1"></div>
Here is an alternative which extends jQuery:
// Select elements by testing each value of each element's attribute `attr` for `pattern`.
jQuery.fn.hasAttrLike = function(attr, pattern) {
pattern = new RegExp(pattern)
return this.filter(function(idx) {
var elAttr = $(this).attr(attr);
if(!elAttr) return false;
var values = elAttr.split(/\s/);
var hasAttrLike = false;
$.each(values, function(idx, value) {
if(pattern.test(value)) {
hasAttrLike = true;
return false;
}
return true;
});
return hasAttrLike;
});
};
jQuery('div').hasAttrLike('class', 'project[0-9]')
original from sandinmyjoints: https://github.com/sandinmyjoints/jquery-has-attr-like/blob/master/jquery.hasAttrLike.js (but it had errrors so I fixed it)
You can use the startswith CSS3 selector to get those divs:
$('div[class^="project"]')
To check one particular element, you'd use .is(), not hasClass
:
$el.is('[class^="project"]')
For using the exact /project\d/
regex, you can check out jQuery selector regular expressions or use
/(^|\s)project\d(\s|$)/.test($el.attr("class"))
