Change Text Color in jQuery Using Comma-Separated Values

In web development, there are often situations where you need to change the appearance of elements based on dynamic data retrieved from a server. A common requirement is to change the text color of div elements if their content matches any of the values from a comma-separated string. In this guide, we will guide you through a step-by-step solution utilizing jQuery to achieve this effect.

The Problem

Imagine you have the following HTML structure:

You also have a string of values that you retrieve from an Ajax call:

You want to change the color of the div's text to green if the content matches any of the values in this string. The basic idea is straightforward, but you may find yourself stuck trying to figure out how to implement this logic effectively.

The Solution

Using jQuery, we can efficiently filter the divs by matching their text against each of the comma-separated values. Here’s how to do it in a clear, organized way.

Step 1: Splitting the String

First, you need to split the received string into an array of values. This can be done using the .split() method in JavaScript.

This creates an array that looks like this:

Step 2: Filtering Divs

Next, use the .filter() method to identify which .val divs contain text that matches any string from your newly created array. Here's the jQuery code to accomplish that:

Step 3: Using the :contains() Selector

While the above method works seamlessly, you might prefer a more jQuery-centric approach. Instead of includes(), consider using the :contains() selector. This allows you to check if the text inside each div matches any of the split values.

Here’s a convenient code snippet utilizing :contains():

This code iterates through each div and checks if any string from valuesArray is contained in the div’s text. If a match is found, it changes the text color to green.

Putting It All Together

Conclusion

By breaking down the problem into manageable steps, you can easily create an engaging web experience where the appearance of text dynamically responds to user actions or server-side data. The use of jQuery makes it simple and efficient, allowing you to implement such features without complicated code structures.
