How to add and remove class in html elements using JS.

Hello Guys today i am going to show you how you can add or remove class of html elements using javascript.It will help you to add class and its related styling dynamically using button event handlers.
Lets get started...

HTML -

 <div id="box">
      <h1 id="heading">
        Hello Dom Manipulation
      </h1>
      <div>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary"             
         onclick="Animation1('Animation1')">Animation1</button>
      <div>
        <button class="btn btn-outline-danger my-5" 
                onclick="refresh()">Refresh</button>
      </div>
</div>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • We have created two button elements inside a div with id="box".
  • The first button is used to add the class to the H1 element with id="heading" and the second button is used to remove the class from the H1 element with id ="heading".
  • The first button have the onclick event handler and inside it we have called a function named "Animation" inside the parameter we have passed the class name which we want to add to the H1 element with id="heading" and same with the second button whose onclick event handler has a function call named "refresh" and inside it we have passed the class name which we want to remove as the parameter of the function.

CSS -

#box{
    height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    background-color: black;
    flex-direction: column;
}
#heading{
    color: crimson;
    font-size: 5rem;
    margin: 0 0 8rem 0;
    border-radius: 10px;
}

.Animation1{
    animation-name: animation1;
    animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    animation-duration: 2s;
    animation-iteration-count: 1;
    transition: all 2s ease;
}

@keyframes animation1 {
    0%{
        color: darkcyan;
    }
    20%{
        color: cyan;
    }
    40%{
        color: purple;
    }
    60%{
        color: rebeccapurple;
    }
    80%{
        color: salmon;
    }
    100%{
        color: tomato;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Here we have defined the styles for all the elements using their id names .
  • We have defined the styles for the "Animation" class and also attached an animation with it.So when the "Animation" class is added to the H1 element , then the animation will be executed.

Javascript -

/* first getting the element using its id name and then through 
dom manipulation (elementName.classList.add(className)) we have
 added the class to the H1 tag */

let box = document.getElementById("heading");
const Animation1 = (animate) => {
box.classList.add(animate);
}

const refresh = () => {
/*.contains check that the class is already present or 
not , if it is present , then the class will be 
removed , otherwise we will get an alert message*/

if(box.classList.contains("Animation1")){
box.classList.remove("Animation1");
alert("All the animations are refreshed");
 }
else{
alert("No animation is executed yet")
 }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

OUTPUT -

1. The starting point of the program

2. The Text color is changed because we have added the "Animation1" class to the H1 tag using Animation1 button and the animation gets executer.

3. The alert messages appears because we had removed the "Animation1" class using the refresh button .
