Jest JSDOM data-attribute

#todayilearned #javascript #testing

When using Jest with JSDOM to test HTML elements, it's common to try to use or access the data-attribute. The problem is that it doesn't work.

The solution is quite simple: getAttribute / setAttribute.

element.setAttribute('data-food', 'taco');

element.getAttribute('data-food');
// returns 'taco'
