Get an attribute on an element

Get an attribute on an element

Use Element.getAttribute() to get an attribute (including data attributes) on an element. This method can also be used to manipulate other types of attributes—things like id, tabindex, name, and so on.

var elem = document.querySelector('#lunch');
var sandwich = elem.getAttribute('data-sandwich');
