Output HTML attribute name with HTL

If I want to output the attribute name via HTL, how do I go about doing this?

For example I want to be able to specify the meta tag as either <meta name=.. or <meta property=....

When I try this...

<meta ${metadata.metaTypeName}="${metadata.metaTypeNameValue}" content="${metadata.metaContentValue}" />

It renders in the HTML source as...

<meta ${metadata.metaTypeName}="metaTypeNameValue1" content="contentValue1"/>

The second two properties render fine, but the first one isn't getting evaluated.  Any thoughts?

You can pass in a Map to data-sly-attribute, that should do the trick.

To set multiple attributes, pass a map object hold key-value pairs corresponding to the attributes and their values. For example, assuming,

attrMap = {

    title: "myTitle",

    class: "myClass",

    id: "myId"

}

Then,

<div data-sly-attribute="${attrMap}"></div>

Hi Joshua,

data-sly-attribute at https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/htl/docs/block-statements.html might help.

Thanks,

Yes, I'm referencing a valid object.  It seems like it might have something to do with updating an attribute name, as the other attribute values are working fine.  Let me know if you have any other thoughts.
