具有data- *属性的jQuery选择器

Question

I'm trying to implement a jQuery selector which selects all the elements with data-xy-* attributes. I know how to select elements if we know the complete data attribute:

$("[data-xy-a]") will give me all the elements which have a data attribute data-xy-a

My problem is that the element can have any value instead of a . I want something like:

$("[data-xy-*]")

There is no selector for this (as far as I know) but you can filter them out yourself...

$.expr[':'].dataStartsWith = function (elem, index, not) {
  var data = $(elem).data();
  return Object.keys(data).some(function (key) {
    return key.indexOf(not[3]) === 0;
  });
};

$(':dataStartsWith("xy")');

Just bear in mind data attribute names are converted to camelcase in dataset so to match data-xy-z-* you will need to use $(':dataStartsWith("xyZ")');
