select option created with var not displaying when adding a new field dynamically

I have a little problem here, when i add a new field the select option i created from var won’t show. I have tried a multiple method like changing from id into class, add a var option name into <select> in var html and it still doesn’t work. I suppose my JS nesting is the problem or something missing? If so any suggestion what code i must change or add here?

var data = {
            Food: [
                {
                    id: 1,
                    name: 'Fried Rice',
                    price: 10000
                },
                {
                    id: 2,
                    name: 'Fried Noodle',
                    price: 9000
                },
                {
                    id: 3,
                    name: 'Pancake',
                    price: 8500
                },
                {
                    id: 4,
                    name: 'French Fries',
                    price: 7500
                }
            ],
            Drink: [
                {
                    id: 1,
                    name: 'Cola',
                    price: 4600

Answer

You can pass this inside your handleChange function where this refer to current select-box which is change then using that get other select-box reference and change values .

Demo Code :

var data = {
  Food: [{
      id: 1,
      name: 'Fried Rice',
      price: 10000
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      name: 'Fried Noodle',
      price: 9000
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      name: 'Pancake',
      price: 8500
    },
    {
      id: 4,
      name: 'French Fries',
      price: 7500
    }
  ],
  Drink: [{
      id: 1,
      name: 'Cola',
      price: 4600
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      name: 'Orange Juice',
      price: 5400
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      name: 'Mineral Water',
      price: 3500
    },
    {
      id: 4,
      name: 'Coffee',
      price: 5800
    }
  ]
}

function handleChange(el) {
  //if undefined use closest & find to get select value
  var els_cat = (el != undefined) ? $(el).closest(".outer").find(".cat").val() : $("#category_select").val()
  console.log(els_cat)
  var els_type = (el != undefined) ? $(el).closest(".outer").find(".type") : $("#type_select")
  var dataOptions = data[els_cat]
  els_type.html('') //empty
  dataOptions.forEach(function(option) {
    var optionEle = document.createElement('option')
    optionEle.value = option.id
    optionEle.label = option.name
    optionEle.setAttribute('data-price', option.price)
    els_type.append(optionEle) //append same
  })
}
handleChange()

$(".addRow").click(function() {
  var cloned = $("#type_select").clone() //cloned select
  var html = '';
  //added one outer class
  html += '<div class="row outer">';
  html += '<div class="col-md-3">';
  html += '<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg delRow">Del</button>';
  html += '</div>';
  html += '<div class="col-md-3">';
  html += '<select class="form-select form-select-lg mb-3 cat" onChange="handleChange(this)">'; //use clone for this as well if needed same options ..
  html += '<option value="Food">Food</option>';
  html += '<option value="Drink">Drink</option>';
  html += '</select>';
  html += '</div>';
  html += '<br>';
  html += '<div class="col-md-3">';
  html += '<select class="form-select form-select-lg mb-3 type">' + $(cloned).html() + '</select>'; //pass same
  html += '</div>';
  html += '<div class="col-md-3">';
  html += '<input type="number" class="form-control form-control-lg mb-3" id="num" placeholder="Qty" min="0">';
  html += '</div>';
  html += '</div>';

  $('.container-fluid').append(html);
});
