I have an element I need to get an array of specific attributes. For example:
<div id="myDiv" class="myClass" data-country="US" data-city="NY" />
In this example, I need to get all data-*
attributes and place them in array (name and value pairs).
In this example, final array would look like this:
myDataArray["data-country"] = "US"; myDataArray["data-city"] = "NY";
Problem is that these attributes are dynamic, I do not know what attributes will be there at the runtime and I cannot hard code filling of array.
You can call data() to get all data attributes.
Live Demo
myDataArray = $('#myDiv').data(); alert(myDataArray["country"]); alert(myDataArray["city"]);
You can iterate through key value pair like this,
Live Demo
arr = $('#myDiv').data(); for(el in arr) { alert("Key >> " + el); alert("Value >> " + arr[el]); }
var myDataObject = document.getElementById('myDiv').dataset;

Try this
var data = $('#myDiv').data(); var myDataArray = []; $.each(data, function(key, val){ myDataArray['data-' + key] = val; }); console.log(myDataArray);
