TrustedTypePolicyFactory: getAttributeType() method

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The getAttributeType() method of the TrustedTypePolicyFactory interface allows web developers to check if a Trusted Type is required for an element, and if so which Trusted Type is used.

Syntax

js
getAttributeType(tagName, attribute)
getAttributeType(tagName, attribute, elementNS)
getAttributeType(tagName, attribute, elementNS, attrNS)

Parameters

tagName

A string containing the name of an HTML tag.

attribute

A string containing an attribute.

elementNS Optional

A string containing a namespace, if empty defaults to the HTML namespace.

attrNS Optional

A string containing a namespace, if empty defaults to null.

Return value

A string with one of:

  • "TrustedHTML"
  • "TrustedScript"
  • "TrustedScriptURL"

Or, null.

Examples

In this example, passing the <script> element and src attribute to getAttributeType() returns "TrustedScriptURL".

js
console.log(trustedTypes.getAttributeType("script", "src")); // "TrustedScriptURL"
