@bento/to-attribute-value

Attribute Value

The @bento/to-attribute-value package is a formatter that converts any given value into a string that can be used as an HTML attribute value.

Installation

npm install --save @bento/to-attribute-value

stringify

The package exposes the stringify function as the default export. The sole purpose of this function is to format any given value into a string that closely resembles the value as if it was formatted as an HTML attribute value.

The function accepts the following arguments:

import { stringify } from '@bento/to-attribute-value';

console.log(stringify({ hello: 'world'}));        // hello(world)

We automatically format the data based on the type of the value given:

Any unknown object is converted using JSON.stringify. In order for these custom objects to be converted, they must have a toJSON method that returns a serializable object.

The value false is automatically converted to undefined to signal React that the resulting attribute should not end up in the DOM.
