Image iterating multiple times in popover

Solution 1:

You have to empty .infoBarPopoverContent before you add the current image to it.

So this:

 $('.infoBarPopoverContent')
   .append('<div class="infoBarElementContentView"></div>')

becomes this:

 $('.infoBarPopoverContent')
   .empty()
   .append('<div class="infoBarElementContentView"></div>')

See it working:

function appendImg() {
  const newId = parseInt($('.infoBar').children().last().attr('id').replace('test', ''))
  $('.infoBar').append('<div class="imgWrap" id="test' + (newId + 1) + '"><img src="https://source.unsplash.com/user/c_v_r/100x100"></div>')
  addEvent();
}

var popOverSettings2 = {
  selector: '.infoBar .imgWrap',
  container: 'body',
  html: true,
  trigger: "manual",
  placement: 'top',
  sanitize: false,
  animation: false,
  content: function() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      $('.popover').css({
        'width': '20%',
        'height': '20%',
        'overflow': 'auto'
      })
    })
    if ($(this).attr('class') == 'imgWrap') {
      const currnetInfoBarElementView = $(this).attr('id')
      let source = $("#" + currnetInfoBarElementView).children()

      //This is what I tried removing the previous appended container so that it won't iterate but it doesn't work
      //$('.infoBarElementContentView').remove()

      $('.infoBarPopoverContent').empty().append('<div class="infoBarElementContentView"></div>')
      source.clone(true).addClass('dataDisplayClone').appendTo('.infoBarElementContentView')
      $('.dataDisplayClone img').css({
        'width': '100%',
        'height': '100%'
      })
      return $('.infoBarPopoverContent').html();
    }
  }
}


function addEvent() {
  $(function() {
    $('.infoBar .imgWrap').popover(popOverSettings2)
      .on("mouseenter", function() {
        var _this = this;
        $(this).popover("show");
        $(".popover").on("mouseleave", function() {
          $(_this).popover('hide');
        });
      }).on("mouseleave", function() {
        var _this = this;
        if (!$(".popover:hover").length) {
          $('.popover').popover('hide');
        }
      });
  });
}
