Add a new node

[michaelbanet]

Is there any way to add a new list item dynamically? I attempted the following, but it causes the browser to crash from running out of memory:

$('#MappingEditor').append('<li id="New_Category"><div>New Category</div></li>').sortableLists(mappingOptions);

It seems to work for about a second before running out of memory. Is there an alternate way to re-instantiate sortableLists maybe?

#MappingEditor ul object

Thanks for the quick response! If it helps, I threw everything into a CodePen

I test it right now. This works without any problems:

        $('#add-test').on('click', function( e )
    	{
    		$('#sTree2').append( "<li id='add-test-li'><div>Add test</div></li>" );
    	});

The problem can be with maxLevels option which needs to have data-insideLevs and data-upperLevs set.

You're right! I disabled maxLevels and it's working great! I'll leave that feature off for the time being (I guess I can use the isAllowed callback to limit level for now. Still early development)

This works also with maxLevels.

	$('#add-test').on('click', function( e )
	{
		var item = $("<li id='add-test-li'><div>Add test</div></li>");
		item.data('insideLevels', 0);
		item.data('upperLevels', 0);
		$('#sTree2').append( item );
	});

I made maxLevels feature yesterday so if you will have a problem feel free to create an issue. I will fix it ASAP

[michaelbanet]

This works for me! If anything, maybe a small paragraph in your documentation would be super helpful for the next person.

Thanks!

Do not close it for now. If somebody will search solution for this case.

If someone is looking for a way to add an element to an existing empty node (with id:current_id_append in my example)
Without appending the "hintwrap" variable, the new created element would not be draggable within the node

	$('#add-test').on('click', function( e )
	{
                var hintwrap = $("<ul id='s-l-hint-wrapper' style=\"display: block;\"></ul>");
                $('#'+current_id_append).append( hintwrap );
		var item = $("<li id='add-test-li'><div>Add test</div></li>");
		item.data('insideLevels', 0);
		item.data('upperLevels', 1);
		$('#'+current_id_append).children('ul').append( item );
                $('#'+current_id_append).children('ul').removeAttr( 'id' )
	});

I am still trying to figure out how to append the plus/minus icon to the div (with event)

@michalgala What s the problem with plus/minus icons?
