Understanding Custom Attributes in Relume Components

·

I just noticed something when copying a Relume component I haven't seen before and I wonder if someone can explain (and also, can I remove it?) If you paste in Contact 1 (https://www.relume.io/preview?cid=contact-sections/section_contact1) there are Custom attributes on contact1_form (see screenshot). Does this need to remain?

I'm also just now noticing a custom attribute on all of the form_field-wapper divs. There isn't any explanation for this, so I would just really like to know what this is doing, what the purpose is, if it needs to stay etc.

Nick J. thanks for raising this - you can delete them. They were used for internal use only several months ago and we’ve been trying to clean them up.

Matt J. no problem. That's what I figured but just wanted to make sure!

Matt J. just curious — would I be able to use this same method internally to keep track of what Relume component I used for a particular section? For example, let's just say I'm using section_header122, but I want to rename that to section_wedding-hero (and then all of the header122 would be renamed to wedding-hero via Finsweet Folders for example). Can I just add a little "note" as an attribute on that section and just type in the name of the original Relume component for my reference w/out it affecting anything? I mean, if nothing is tied to that attribute, it's just...nothing, right? Just wondering your thoughts on that. Thanks.

Yeah totally. In fact, thats such a great idea, I’ll add it to the roadmap!
