I have a input with this
attr('data-disabled-dates','12/02/2022; 13/02/2022; 14/02/2022; 15/02/2022; 10/03/2022; 11/03/2022; 16/02/2022')
And a const which results in tomorrow dynamically, so for this case the result is "16/02/2022"
Now i want to run action if it matches that tomorrow's date is within the attr data-disabled-dates.
So i tried this
if (jQuery(input).attr('data-disabled-dates') == '16/02/2022')
{ console.log('work') } else {
console.log ('not') }
But it only gives me true if the whole sequence is exactly the same, that is, if I put "12/02/2022; 13/02/2022..." if it will give the result, but I only want it to be true if the value I am putting is inside
You can use String.includes() or String.split('; ') to convert string to array and check if it includes the desired value.
if (jQuery(input).attr('data-disabled-dates').includes('16/02/2022')) {
console.log('work')
} else {
console.log('not')
}
const div = document.querySelector('#data');
const dates = div.getAttribute('data-disabled-dates');
if (dates.includes('16/02/2022')) {
console.log('work')
} else {
console.log('not')
}
// or
if (dates.split('; ').includes('16/02/2022')) {
console.log('work')
} else {
console.log('not')
}<div id="data" data-disabled-dates="12/02/2022; 13/02/2022; 14/02/2022; 15/02/2022; 10/03/2022; 11/03/2022; 16/02/2022" />== performs exact string matches, not substring matches.
You can use .split() to split the attribute value into an array, then use .includes() to test if the array contains the date.
if (jQuery(input).data('disabled-dates').split('; ').includes('16/02/2022')) {
console.log("work");
} else {
console.log("not");
}
You can use indexOf to be greater than 0. IndexOf if you need to support IE.
var dataAttrValue = jQuery(input).attr('data-disabled-dates');
var date = '16/02/2022';
if (typeof dataAttrValue !== 'undefined' && dataAttrValue.indexOf(date)) > 0) { console.log('work');
} else {
console.log ('not');
}
OR
jQuery(input).is(“[data-disabled-dates*='16/02/2022']”);
But I suggest using JQuery Data to store and retrieve values from elements.
