How to dynamically change the template in aurelia / click to edit table row?

Asked By: Anonymous

With knockout I could dynamically change the template of a table row so that when I clicked on it, the row would become editable using an edit template.
No navigation, no routing, just assigning the row a new template.
How do I do this in aurelia?

Here’s how you could accomplish this using the if binding command:

Code:

app.js

export class App {
  editing = null;
  
  planets = [
    { name: 'Mercury', diameter: 3032, distance: 35983610 },
    { name: 'Venus', diameter: 7521, distance: 67232360 },
    { name: 'Earth', diameter: 7926, distance: 92957100 },
    { name: 'Mars', diameter: 4222, distance: 141635300 },
    { name: 'Jupiter', diameter: 88846, distance: 483632000 },
    { name: 'Saturn', diameter: 74898, distance: 888188000 },
    { name: 'Uranus', diameter: 31763, distance: 1783950000 },
    { name: 'Neptune', diameter: 30778, distance: 2798842000 }];
  
  edit(planet) {
    this.editing = planet;
  }
}

app.html

<template>
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <td>Planet</td>
        <td>Diameter (mi)</td>
        <td>Distance to Sun (mi)</td>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr repeat.for="planet of planets" click.delegate="edit(planet)">
        <!-- read-only mode -->
        <td if.bind="editing !== planet">${planet.name}</td>
        <td if.bind="editing !== planet">${planet.diameter}</td>
        <td if.bind="editing !== planet">${planet.distance}</td>
        
        <!-- edit-mode -->
        <td if.bind="editing === planet"><input value.bind="planet.name" type="text"></td>
        <td if.bind="editing === planet"><input value.bind="planet.diameter" type="number"></td>
        <td if.bind="editing === planet"><input value.bind="planet.distance" type="number"></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</template>

css:

thead {
  font-weight: bold;
}

tbody > tr > td {
  cursor: pointer;
}
