The filter on my website needs to have a default value on load.
My main JS script uses this, in case it's useful for the solution:
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', event => { //code to be loaded }
The filter has no default, but I want to set it to one of the data-rel values by default so that the page loads with the content already filtered with my defined default.
I looked around for a while at other similar problems but couldn't find a solution to my exact problem.
In a separate filter JS file, I'm using this code as a base:
JS:
$(function(){
var selectedClass = "$('*[data-rel="web"]');";
$(".filter").click(function(){
selectedClass = $(this).attr("data-rel");
$(".work").fadeTo(100, 0.1);
$(".portfolio-item").not("."+selectedClass).fadeOut().removeClass('scale');
setTimeout(function(){
$("."+selectedClass).fadeIn().addClass('scale').sort();
$(".work").fadeTo(300, 1);
}, 300);
});
});

For this example, I would set "web" as the default (of course, "all" isn't the default, but appears that way as the code just shows all items on the page before a filter is clicked anyway).
I tried making selectedClass = $(.filter).attr("data-rel", "web"); or simply selectedClass = "web";, and various other variants such as $(.filter).attr({"data-rel": "web"}); but none of that works. I believe I'm missing something in regards to how the click function is interacting with the data-rel selection.
I also tried adding this after the initial declaration of selectedClass:
$(".portfolio-item").not("." + "selectedClass").removeClass('scale');
setTimeout(function () {
$("." + selectedClass).addClass('scale').sort();
$(".work");
}, 1)
The idea being to copy what is done when a button is clicked but get rid of the fading and make it as instantaneous as possible. I also tried wrapping that part in $(document).ready(function(){}.
But none of that did anything.
I'd appreciate it if someone could please explain to me what I'm doing wrong so that the default filter is "web" when the page loads.
$('[data-rel="web"]').trigger('click')for triggering the click event on page load and can use.portfolio-item{ display:none;}in css for hiding all element by default . See this example.letorconstinstead ofvarprevents the script from working. Not sure why that is though. I would have expectedletto work, at least.
