JavaScript: Listen for attribute change?

问题

Is it possible in JavaScript to listen for a change of attribute value? For example:

var element=document.querySelector('…');
element.addEventListener( ? ,doit,false);

element.setAttribute('something','whatever');

function doit() {

}

I would like to respond to any change in the something attribute.

I have read up on the MutationObserver object, as well as alternatives to that (including the one which uses animation events). As far as I can tell, they are about changes to the actual DOM. I’m more interested in attribute changes to a particular DOM element, so I don’t think that’s it. Certainly in my experimenting it doesn’t seem to work.

I would like to do this without jQuery.

Thanks

You need MutationObserver, Here in snippet I have used setTimeout to simulate modifying attribute

var element = document.querySelector('#test');
setTimeout(function() {
  element.setAttribute('data-text', 'whatever');
}, 5000)

var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
  mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
    if (mutation.type == "attributes") {
      console.log("attributes changed")
    }
  });
});

observer.observe(element, {
  attributes: true //configure it to listen to attribute changes
});

<div id="test">Dummy Text</div>
