getAttribute method

  1. @override
String? getAttribute(
  1. String name, {
  2. String? namespace,
})

Return the attribute value with the given name, or null.

Both name and namespace can be a specific String; or '*' to match anything. If no namespace is provided, the fully qualified name is compared; otherwise only the local name is considered.

For example:

  • element.getAttribute('xsd:name') returns the first attribute value with the fully qualified attribute name xsd:name.
  • element.getAttribute('name', namespace: '*') returns the first attribute value with the local attribute name name no matter the namespace.
  • element.getAttribute('*', namespace: 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema') returns the first attribute value within the provided namespace URI.

Implementation

@override
String? getAttribute(String name, {String? namespace}) =>
    getAttributeNode(name, namespace: namespace)?.value;
