Many JavaScript libraries exist to toggle attributes in the DOM. By moving this to the web platform we will simplify the boilerplate developers have to use.
This method will behave similar to Element.classList.toggle, this will allow developers to pass an argument of the attribute to toggle: element.toggleAttribute(“disabled”); It also permits an optional second argument for the state of the boolean to set: inputElement.toggleAttribute(“checked”, isChecked); Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1469592 Link to standard: https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-element-toggleattribute Platform coverage: This will be exposed to all platforms. Estimated or target release: Firefox 63 Is this feature enabled by default in sandboxed iframes? N/A DevTools bug: N/A Do other browser engines implement this? Yes Chrome intent to ship: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-dev/mAWBTaANvmE/OgaCRH04BAAJ Edge are considering https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/461#issuecomment-398206390 Browsers bugs: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=854960 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/17981545/ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186883 web-platform-tests: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/11603 Secure contexts: This feature isn’t restricted to Secure Contexts, this is mostly due to providing similar behaviour with other element APIs such as hasAttribute and setAttribute. There aren’t any increased risks in exposing this API to insecure contexts and the behaviour can easily be implemented in a JavaScript shim. It seems overly onerous on the web to mandate SecureContext only for this when it could cause unexpected behaviour to remove this API on an insecure connection. In Firefox 63 I intend to turn Element.toggleAttribute on by default. Other UAs are interested in implementing this feature as highlighted in the standards thread: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/461.
