'Conditional statements within a forEach loop
I am trying to run a unique function to a specific object in an array.
I currently have a forEach loop that iterates through different records in an imported database, which creates a 'panel' for every record.
Here is a preview:
As you can see, the first panel does not line up with the bottom of the others. This is because it is a landscape photo and so its width must me larger to compensate. However, to do this I must have some kind of exception in my forEach loop to set the width of that record uniquely.
Here is an the code I have written:
fetch(
"https://(apiurl)/" ) //here I run a GET request to my database
.then(handleError) // skips to .catch if error is thrown
.then((data) => {
data.records.forEach((record) => {
let galleryitem = document.createElement("li");
galleryitem.setAttribute("class", "splide__slide is-visible");
galleryitem.setAttribute("aria-hidden", "false");
galleryitem.setAttribute("tabindex", "0");
galleryitem.setAttribute("style", "margin-right: 28px; width: 25vw");
listing.appendChild(galleryitem);
let gallerycontent = document.createElement("div");
gallerycontent.setAttribute("class", "slider-square");
galleryitem.appendChild(gallerycontent);
let imgwrapper = document.createElement("div");
imgwrapper.setAttribute("class", "slider-square_img");
gallerycontent.appendChild(imgwrapper);
let de_img = document.createElement("img");
de_img.setAttribute("class", "slider-square_photo");
de_img.setAttribute("src", record.fields.ArtLink);
de_img.setAttribute("loading", "lazy");
de_img.setAttribute("sizes", "(max-width: 479px) 84vw, (max-width: 991px) 48vw, 36vw");
imgwrapper.appendChild(de_img);
let textcontent = document.createElement("div");
textcontent.setAttribute("class", "text-opacity");
gallerycontent.appendChild(textcontent);
let art_title = document.createElement("h3");
art_title.setAttribute("class", "slider_title");
art_title.textContent = record.fields.Title;
textcontent.appendChild(art_title);
let art_desc = document.createElement("h3");
art_desc.setAttribute("class", "slider_descriptor");
art_desc.textContent = record.fields.Descriptor;
textcontent.appendChild(art_desc);
});
})
.catch(function writeError(err) {
// catches the error and logs it
})
I have thought of running a conditional statement within the loop so that only the first image has its own width but to no avail. For example, I would do:
if (data.records.record == [0]) { galleryitem.setAttribute("style", "margin-right: 28px; width: 50vw"); }
This does not work as intended. Any ideas?
(It may also be useful to note is that I am using the splidejs library for the slider)
EDIT: I have added the full code for context, and here is a screenshot of a section of the array table >>

You can also do that :
more readeable with Template literals
fetch( 'https://(apiurl)/' ) // here I run a GET request to my database
.then( handleError ) // skips to .catch if error is thrown
.then( data =>
{
let LI_attr =
{ className : 'splide__slide is-visible'
, 'aria-hidden' : 'false'
, tabindex : '0'
, style : 'margin-right: 28px; width: 50vw'
}
data.records.forEach( (record, indx) =>
{
listing.appendChild(
Object.assign(
document.createElement('li')
, LI_attr
) )
.innerHTML = `
<div class="slider-square">
<div class="slider-square_img">
<img class="slider-square_photo"
src="${record.fields.ArtLink}"
loading="lazy"
sizes="(max-width: 479px) 84vw, (max-width: 991px) 48vw, 36vw" >
</div>
<div class="text-opacity">
<h3 class="slider_title">${record.fields.Title}</h3>
<h3 class="lider_descriptor">${record.fields.Descriptor}</h3>
</div>
</div>`;
if (indx===0)
LI_attr.style = 'margin-right: 28px; width: 25vw' // change width value for next records
});
})
.catch(function writeError(err) {
// catches the error and logs it
})
