使用jQuery在父容器中查找特定的数据ID

Question

Say if I have the following html:

<a href="some url" class="product-store-name">
    azzaharastore
</a>

and this html is contained inside another div, and another div, of x levels. Is there a way to find the div that has the data-id in it and then get the value of it? In other words I want a function that propates upwards and find the data-id in it.

Answer 1

You can use .closest() along with has attribute selector to find the desired element

if this refers to this element then use(replace this with any other means to refer the target element)

var $div = $(this).closest('div[data-id]'); 
var did = $div.data('id');

or for the above said case

var did  = $('.product-store-name').closest('div[data-id]').data('id')
