Windows Library for JavaScript control attributes

  • Article

Windows Library for JavaScript provides attributes that you can use to declare and configure WinJS controls in your HTML markup.

To use a WinJS control, you create an HTML element and use the data-win-control attribute to specify the type of control you want. For example, to add a ToggleSwitch control, you add a DIV element and set the data-win-control attribute to "WinJS.UI.ToggleSwitch". To set the control's properties, you use the data-win-options attribute.
