I have the following HTML with data attributes - I want to write some jQuery that will loop through the HTML and collect the data attributes and put them into an array - could anyone assist as I'm getting an error.
ERROR in console log : item.data is not a function
I am trying to use the data() attribute - can you see what I'm doing wrong?
// My HTML code
<span class="winners" data-userid="123" data-position="1" data-fullname="neil">
<span class="winners" data-userid="234" data-position="2" data-fullname="Ron">
<span class="winners" data-userid="421" data-position="3" data-fullname="Philip">
// My jQuery code
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];
$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: item.data('fullname')} );
});
console.log(winners_array);
// ERROR in console log : item.data is not a function
item
is not a jQuery object, the arguments for each
are the index and the native DOM element
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];
$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: $(item).data('fullname')} );
});
using a map would be easier
var winners_array = $.map($('.winners'), function(el) {
return {name: 'fullname', value: $(el).data('fullname')}
});
I understand you should use $(item), instead data only. Kindly find the code below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];
$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: $(item).data('fullname')} );
});
console.log(winners_array);
</script>
Use item.dataset.fullname instead.
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];
$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: item.dataset.fullname} );
});
console.log(winners_array);
