Metadata is encoded in JSON, and each property * in the JSON will become a property of the element itself. * * There are three supported types of metadata storage: * * attr: Inside an attribute. The name parameter indicates *which* attribute. * * class: Inside the class attribute, wrapped in curly braces: { } * * elem: Inside a child element (e.g. a script tag). The * name parameter indicates *which* element. * * The metadata for an element is loaded the first time the element is accessed via jQuery. * * As a result, you can define the metadata type, use $(expr) to load the metadata into the elements * matched by expr, then redefine the metadata type and run another $(expr) for other elements. * * @name $.metadata.setType * * @example
This is a p
* @before $.metadata.setType("class") * @after $("#one").metadata().item_id == 1; $("#one").metadata().item_label == "Label" * @desc Reads metadata from the class attribute * * @exampleThis is a p
