gw-choice-counter.php: Fixed Choice Counter not triggering quantity updates.

⛑️ Ticket(s): https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/2866195352/78865

Summary

The snippet above is used to get the number of selected choices in a multi-choice field. It works, but it appears it doesn't properly trigger the change event, which also doesn't update the form total.

Fix to ensure the change event triggers properly. This would include native event listeners and Gravity Forms logic.

Walkthrough

The changes add a new line of code inside the output_script function of the GW_Choice_Count class within the Gravity Forms plugin. After updating the value of the count field and triggering a jQuery .change() event, the code now dispatches a native change event with bubbling enabled. This ensures that any native event listeners attached to the element will be activated. No modifications were made to public or exported entities.

Changes

File	Change Summary
gravity-forms/gw-choice-counter.php	Added a native change event dispatch (countField[0].dispatchEvent( new Event( 'change', { bubbles: true } ) )) in the output_script function for proper event propagation.

144-147: Great fix - properly triggers both jQuery and native change events!

This change ensures both jQuery event handlers and native DOM event listeners are triggered when the count field value changes. The original code only used jQuery's .change() method, which might not activate all event listeners in the Gravity Forms ecosystem, especially those using native DOM event listeners.

The added line correctly:

1. Accesses the native DOM element with countField[0]
2. Dispatches a native change event
3. Sets bubbles: true to ensure the event propagates up the DOM tree, which is crucial for event delegation patterns

This implementation aligns perfectly with the PR objective of fixing the choice counter not triggering quantity updates.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

Untested on my part but the code looks good to me :)

Thanks for confirming that this works with the GF listener stuff too!
