can I use a block inside an html tag?

ando

How can I achieve something like this?
I want to give my div a dynamic data attribute

<div {block attribute}{/block}>

{block attribute}data-my-attribute{/block}

But it gives me an error :/

Block inside html attribute isnt good way how dynamically add html attributes. The simplest way is use variable:

$this->template->myAttribute = 'data-my-attribute';

<div {$myAttribute}>

In latte is also something like n:attr, but direct rendering variable makes the code cleaner and more modern.

Thanks much for this suggestion. For my case, where I combine template and “layout” overwrite I need to modify it a little bit.

{php $this->global->myAttribute = 'data-my-attribute="true"'}

<div {=$this->global->myAttribute ?? null|noescape}>

But it is also possible to do it more secure and flexible way:

{php $this->global->myAttribute['data-my-attribute'] = 'true'}

<div n:attr="$this->global->myAttribute">
