Javascript event listeners and arrays

I am trying to recreate a scratch-to-reveal-image effect with 3 images in an array triggered by 3 buttons. My event listener is not working, as you can see, it shows the same revealed images no matter the button. The event listener syntax has confused me a bit and I would like some help on that specifically.

The sketch image overlay is the same throughout. Can you guide me as to where I’m going wrong?

It’s a lot of code, sorry about that, but I thought it best to just put all the detail in. Thank you in advance!

const imgArr = [{
    sketch: 'https://trellidor.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Sketch.png',
    background1: 'https://images.pexels.com/photos/1666012/pexels-photo-1666012.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500'
  },
  {

    background2: 'https://images.pexels.com/photos/572897/pexels-photo-572897.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500'

Answer

Look at the change I have made in the EventListener.

The changes I made are: Added class on the buttons so that they can be selected together. When placing the listener for the loop also puts “date” information on the buttons. This information is a serial number that corresponds to the Array record

const imgArr = [{
    sketch: 'https://trellidor.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Sketch.png',
    background: 'https://images.pexels.com/photos/1666012/pexels-photo-1666012.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500'
},
{
    sketch: 'https://trellidor.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Sketch.png',
    background: 'https://images.pexels.com/photos/572897/pexels-photo-572897.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500'
},
{
    sketch: 'https://trellidor.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Sketch.png',
    background: 'https://images.pexels.com/photos/2365457/pexels-photo-2365457.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500'
},
]

const btn = document.querySelectorAll('.special'),
    bridge = document.querySelector("#bridge"),
    bridgeCanvas = bridge.getContext('2d'),
    brushRadius = (bridge.width / 100) * 7;

// default image
img = new Image();
img.onload = function () {
    bridgeCanvas.drawImage(img, 0, 0, bridge.width, bridge.height);
}
img.src = 'https://trellidor.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Sketch.png'


for (var i = 0; i < imgArr.length; i++) {
    btn[i].setAttribute('data', i);
    btn[i].addEventListener("click", function () {
        myFunc(this);
    });
}

function myFunc(x) {
    var arr = x.getAttribute('data');
    img.src = imgArr[arr].sketch
    bridge.style.background = `url(${imgArr[arr].background})`;
    bridge.style.backgroundSize = 'cover';
    bridgeCanvas.clearRect(0, 0, bridge.width, bridge.height);
    bridgeCanvas.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over";
}

function getBrushPos(xRef, yRef) {
    const bridgeRect = bridge.getBoundingClientRect();
    return {
        x: Math.floor((xRef - bridgeRect.left) / (bridgeRect.right - bridgeRect.left) * bridge.width),
        y: Math.floor((yRef - bridgeRect.top) / (bridgeRect.bottom - bridgeRect.top) * bridge.height)
    };
}

function drawDot(mouseX, mouseY) {
    bridgeCanvas.beginPath();
    bridgeCanvas.arc(mouseX, mouseY, brushRadius, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);
    bridgeCanvas.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-out";
    bridgeCanvas.fill();
}


bridge.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
    let brushPos = getBrushPos(e.clientX, e.clientY);
    if (e.which === 1) {
        drawDot(brushPos.x, brushPos.y);
    }
}, false);
