Copying Data Displayed in Repeater From one Database into Another.

So I’ve looked around the forums and have found people with similar issues but cannot find exactly how they were able to solve this problem. I know using code is the way the solution can be accoplished but I am VERY new to wix code and I havent be able to figure out how to correctly move data between two databases on a button click. I’ll describe what I am trying to accomplish:

I have “Database1” that contains items and their information. This database is used in the repeater to display all of the items in the collection. I also have “Database2” this is a database containing items that the user will have selected. What i am attempting to do, is have the data for an individual item in the repeater (from Database1) be copied into “Database2” when i click an “Add” button on the repeater.

I’ve played around with some code on this and even looked at some solutions others have come up with for similar issues but I cant seem to get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

The code would look something like this:

import wix-data from wixData;                            //import wix-data module to work with databases

$w.onReady(async () => {
    $w('#button1').onClick(() => {                                //On button click
        let toInsert = $w('#dataset1').getCurrentItem();         //We get current item from dataset
        await wixData.insert('Database2', toInsert);            //And insert it into database 2
    )};
});

Here are the documentation pages that will help you:

Goodluck!
