unicorn/prefer-dom-node-dataset Pedantic

🚧 An auto-fix is planned for this rule, but not implemented at this time.

What it does

Use .dataset on DOM elements over getAttribute(…), .setAttribute(…), .removeAttribute(…) and .hasAttribute(…).

Why is this bad?

The dataset property is a map of strings that contains all the data-* attributes from the element. It is a convenient way to access all of them at once.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
element.setAttribute("data-unicorn", "🦄");

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript
element.dataset.unicorn = "🦄";

How to use

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

bash
oxlint --deny unicorn/prefer-dom-node-dataset
json
{
  "rules": {
    "unicorn/prefer-dom-node-dataset": "error"
  }
}
