Vue: need to disable all inputs on page
I ended up creating this directive:
import Vue from "vue";Vue.directive("disable-all", { // When all the children of the parent component have been updated componentUpdated: function(el, binding) { if (!binding.value) return; const tags = ["input", "button", "textarea", "select"]; tags.forEach(tagName => { const nodes = el.getElementsByTagName(tagName); for (let i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) { nodes[i].disabled = true; nodes[i].tabIndex = -1; } }); }});
I'am coming a bit late, but there is an attribute on the HTML element called "disabled", which ... disable every input in the tree.
<fieldset :disabled="!canEdit"> ...</fieldset>
canEdit
could be a computed property or anything you want.
You can do something like this:
let elems = document.getElementById('parentDiv').getElementsByTagName('input');
This will give you all the inputs inside a parent, then you can run a simple for loop to loop over them and set each one to disabled.
Something like this:
for(let i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) { elems[i].disabled = true;}
Hope this helps set you on the right path.
let elems = document.getElementById('someid').getElementsByTagName('input');console.log(elems);for(let i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) { elems[i].disabled = true;}
<html> <body> <div id="someid"> <input type="text"> <input type="text"> <input type="text"> <input type="text"> <input type="text"> </div> </body></html>
