Widget Helper stripping attributes?

Bas · August 14, 2017, 2:06pm

I was trying my hand at my first plugin, and to a certain extent it worked quite OK

However, I’m having trouble with the helper class. The class seems to strip out certain attributes and I have no idea what’s happening.

I’m adding an \<a> with some classes and a few attributes.

I’m trying to add

id
href
title
aria-label
_target

The first three work fine, the last two don’t.

I’ve tried to reorder and rename the attributes. But it seems there is some sort of selection happening?

Snippet:

decorateWidget('header-icons:before', helper => {
    return h('li.header-dropdown-toggle', [
        h('a.icon.btn-flat', {
                'id': 'my id',
                'href': 'http://example.com',
                'title': 'my title',
                'aria-label': 'my label',
                '_target': "_blank"
            }, [
                h('i.fa.fa-info.d-icon', {
                    'aria-hidden': 'true'
                })
            ]
        ),
    ]);
});

As per above code, I guess it should be like below

decorateWidget('header-icons:before', helper => {
    return h('li.header-dropdown-toggle', [
        h('a.icon.btn-flat', {
                'id': 'my id',
                'href': 'http://example.com',
                'title': 'my title',
                'attributes': {
                    'aria-label': 'my label',
                    'target': "_blank"
                }
            }, [
                h('i.fa.fa-info.d-icon', { 'attributes': {
                    'aria-hidden': 'true'
                }})
            ]
        ),
    ]);
});

Also target is not _target.
