dataset-transpiler

library0.1.2jsnpmunverified

A JavaScript utility that transforms `.dataset.X` property access into equivalent `getAttribute('data-X')` and `setAttribute('data-X', value)` calls for backward compatibility with older browsers. Version 0.1.2 (last released Jan 2015) fixes simple setters/getters; nested `.dataset` calls remain unsupported. This package is a relic of the pre-standard `HTMLElement.dataset` era and is superseded by native browser support. It has no active maintenance and is only useful for legacy project archaeology.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

transpile

✓ import { transpile } from 'dataset-transpiler'

✗ const datasetTranspiler = require('dataset-transpiler')

Package ships ESM module; CommonJS require will fail in Node or bundlers without ESM interop.

default

✓ import transpile from 'dataset-transpiler'

✗ import { transpile } from 'dataset-transpiler'

Default export is the main transpile function; named export was removed in early documentation.

runtimePrefix

✓ transpile('element.dataset.foo', { runtimePrefix: 'myApp' })

✗ transpile('element.dataset.foo', { runtimePrefix: 'myapp' })

runtimePrefix option is case-sensitive; incorrect casing was a common bug in 0.1.1.

Transpiles .dataset.X assignments and reads into setAttribute/getAttribute calls.

import transpile from 'dataset-transpiler'; const input = `element.dataset.foo = 'bar'; const x = element.dataset.baz;`; const output = transpile(input); console.log(output); // Output: // element.setAttribute('data-foo', 'bar'); // const x = element.getAttribute('data-baz');

Debug

Known issues

breakingNested .dataset calls are not transpiled (e.g. element.dataset.foo.bar)

fix

Manually rewrite nested accesses or avoid using them.

affects: <=0.1.2

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained since 2015; modern browsers support HTMLElement.dataset natively.

fix

Remove dependency and use element.dataset directly for modern browsers (IE11+).

affects: all

gotcharuntimePrefix option fixed in 0.1.1 but still case-sensitive; wrong casing silently produces incorrect output.

fix

Ensure runtimePrefix matches exactly (camelCase).

affects: 0.1.0 - 0.1.2

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'dataset-transpiler'

Package uses ES module format; CommonJS require fails.

fix

Use ES import syntax: import x from 'dataset-transpiler'

TypeError: transpile is not a function

Attempted to use a named export that does not exist.

fix

Use default import: import transpile from 'dataset-transpiler'

ReferenceError: element is not defined

The transpiler does not validate inputs; expects valid JS string.

fix

Ensure input is a string containing valid JavaScript with .dataset usage.
