I have a label that sits within a grid that is populated automatically by an array from a DB via a rest call.

I need to figure out how to add a row to the end of this grid using javascript - as it is a comments grid.
I will then update the database with the new comment.

I've tried using the following code:
<code>
var commentgrid = $(commentgridc).find("[name='comment_grid']");
console.log("comments length:"+$(commentgrid).length);
var comments = $(commentgrid).find("[name='comments']");
console.log("commentgrid:"+$(comments).attr('name'));
//
// Now we have the comments grid name, lets duplicate the last row
//
var $tr = $(commentgrid).find('tr:last').clone();
$(commentgrid).append($tr);
</code>

this sort of works, but doesn't duplicate the last row, it seems to duplicate all rows a couple of times.

Can someone help me with this please? I simply want a new row created that has the same label so I can set the label contents.

Hello Andy,

It is better to save full service response to the storage variable (https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...), add the last row to that variable and use it in the mapping right after that.

Thanks Sergiy,

I've added the storage to do this and I'm mapping to it, so all good there.

I've built a DIV that contains all the elements I need for each array item from the storage.

My question is, how do I clone that DIV (div is called duplicater_div) as I load in the data?

I've tried the following code:
code
var i = 0;
var original = Appery('duplicater_div');
&#47;&#47;
var clone = original&#46;cloneNode(true); &#47;&#47; "deep" clone
clone&#46;id = "duplicater" + ++i;
&#47;&#47; or clone&#46;id = "&quot if the divs don't need an ID
original&#46;parentNode&#46;appendChild(clone);

/code

I constantly get the error:
Uncaught TypeError: original.cloneNode is not a function

any suggestions?

Could you clarify, how did you create that div? Is it a html component with your custom layout or it was created with service's mapping?

Hi Sergiy,

I created the DIV using the Appery builder.

I want that as the template, and then I want to clone it for each record I have saved in the storage that was created from the REST call.

We are very sorry, but this is something outside the scope (http://devcenter.appery.io/support-po...) of our standard support.

Please use for that method html, e.g.:
prevar i = 0;
var original = $(Apperyio('duplicater_div')&#46;html());
original&#46;attr("id", "duplicater" + ++i);
original&#46;parentNode&#46;appendChild(clone);/pre
