Add single attribute without value using jquery

Question

I want to add an attribute on a div, something like this:

<div class='media' data-type-sticky></div>

Using jQuery, so i've tried this:

jQuery('.media').attr(data-type-sticky);
jQuery('.media').attr('data-type-sticky');

Answer 1

Just pass empty string to attr value.

$('.media').attr('data-type-sticky','');

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class='media'>Hello</div>
