How do I add data-bs-target to button using Js?

Question

Actually, My whole function is built in javascript and I searched on Google to add data-bs-toggle using js but all were showing jquery. Here's My code:

function onload_function(params) {
    n = 100
    for (let i = 0; i < n; i++){
        elem = document.getElementById(i)
        //console.log(elem.textContent)
        try{
            console.log(elem.textContent)
            new_elem = document.createElement('button');
            new_elem.innerHTML = elem.textContent;
            new_elem.{{data-bs-target}} = '#support-tab-8'; <-- here
            new_elem.id = 'button-' + i.toString();
            new_elem.classList.add("nav-link");
            document.getElementById("dynamic-headings").appendChild(new_elem);

        }
        catch{
            
        }
    }

You can access the Data Attributes by using the .dataset property and set the Value of the Data attribute you want to change. Keep in mind, that while the data-attributes are written in kebab-case inline in html, in Javascript those are accessed with camelCase . Therefore you want to set the Value like this new_elem.dataset.bsTarget = "YourValue"

I've appended a snippet demonstrating the procedure below.

 // We want to add the EventListeners only if the DOM is fully loaded to ensure that no issues happen. document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){ // Just for the sake of demonstrating I've added a button with an onClick Event to trigger the // change of the Data Attribute. In your code the change within might happen at any point. document.getElementById('btnChange').addEventListener('click', function(){ // We need the NodeElement of the Element we want to change the Data Attribute for. const el = document.querySelector('.my-span'); // If the Element exists we then change the Data attribute by just accessing the Dataset // property and define a property in the Dataset Object which is called the same as the // Attribute we want to set. But again, keep in mind that we write the Attribute here in // camelCase if(el) el.dataset.bsTarget = "MyValue"; }) });

 .my-span[data-bs-target="MyValue"]{ background-color: red; }

 <div class="container"> <span class="my-span">My Span Element</span> <button id="btnChange">Change Data Attribute</button> </div>
