So, using AWS Cognito I created a custom attribute (special_name) which I can access using axios and AWS's Auth.currentUserInfo(). Using my browser's JavaScript console I can see the variable as:
attributes: custom:special_name: 'foo'
Great.
But if I console.log(custom:special_name) I get errors or at best 'undefined'
I'm using Visual Studio Code which really doesn't like the format custom:special_name.
I've already searched on this site and the ideas given, e.g. ['custom: special_name'] also don't work.
I feel like I'm missing something very obvious.
Please put me out of my misery.
Thanks.

Did you mean:
attributes['custom:special_name']
It seems your variable is a member of the attributes object, not a global one. In that case, the square bracket syntax will work.
