Element.getAttributeNames()

Element.getAttributeNames() returns the attribute names of the element as an Array of strings. If the element has no attributes it returns an empty array.

Using getAttributeNames() along with getAttribute(), is a memory efficient and performant alternative to accessing Element.attributes.

Syntax

let attributeNames = element.getAttributeNames();

Example

// Iterate over element's attributes
for(let name of element.getAttributeNames())
{
	let value = element.getAttribute(name);
	console.log(name, value);
}

Polyfill

​​​​​​​if (Element.prototype.getAttributeNames == undefined) {
  Element.prototype.getAttributeNames = function () {
    var attributes = this.attributes;
    var length = attributes.length;
    var result = new Array(length);
    for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
      result[i] = attributes[i].name;
    }
    return result;
  };
}
