Hi @gusty path. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#Set data-attr dynamically based on props
harsh fogBOT
In Astro, you can set data-* attributes in HTML elements by passing them as props. Here's an example from the Astro documentation:
---const { message = 'Welcome, world!' } = Astro.props;---
<!-- Store the message prop as a data attribute. -->
<astro-greet data-message={message}>
<button>Say hi!</button>
</astro-greet>
In this example, a message prop is stored in a data-message attribute. The custom element can then read this.dataset.message and get the value of the prop in the browser.
If you want to set multiple data-* attributes, you can pass an object as props and spread it in your HTML element. However, please note that the keys in your object should be the exact data-* attribute names you want to set.
For example, if you have an object like this:
---
const dataProps = {
'data-name': 'John',
'data-age': 30
};
---
You can spread it in your HTML element like this:
<div {...dataProps}>Hello World</div>
This will result in the following HTML:
<div data-name="John" data-age="30">Hello World</div>
Please note that Astro converts HTML attributes to strings, so it's not possible to pass functions and objects directly to HTML elements.
For more information, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/client-side-scripts/).
If you're using TypeScript, Astro provides the HTMLAttributes type to check that your markup is using valid HTML attributes. You can use these types to help build component props. For more details, you can check the Astro TypeScript guide (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/typescript/).

@harsh fog I set props in hTML element as:
config={{
componentType: 'offcanvas',
componentName: 'navigation'
}}
Now I want to set data attribute dynamically, to have
<div data-offcanvas='navigation'>

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Astro, you can dynamically set data-* attributes using JavaScript expressions inside curly braces {}. If you have an object prop like this:
---
const config = {
componentType: 'offcanvas',
componentName: 'navigation'
};
---
You can set the data-* attribute dynamically like this:
<div data-{config.componentType}={config.componentName}>Hello World</div>
This will result in the following HTML:
<div data-offcanvas="navigation">Hello World</div>
Please note that Astro converts HTML attributes to strings, so it's not possible to pass functions and objects directly to HTML elements.
For more information, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/client-side-scripts/).

@harsh fog but I want to set this config as HTML props, not directly as object in astro template
harsh fogBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
If you want to pass the config object as a prop to an Astro component and then use it to set a data-* attribute, you can do it like this:
First, pass the config object as a prop to your Astro component:
<MyComponent config={{{
componentType: 'offcanvas',
componentName: 'navigation'
}}}/>
Then, inside your Astro component, you can use the config prop to set the data-* attribute dynamically:
---
const {{ config }} = Astro.props;
---
<div data-{{config.componentType}}={{config.componentName}}>Hello World</div>
This will result in the following HTML:
<div data-offcanvas="navigation">Hello World</div>
Please note that Astro converts HTML attributes to strings, so it's not possible to pass functions and objects directly to HTML elements.
