To see all available IDLs for example for paragraphs, see <ahref="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLParagraphElement">HTMLParagraphElement</a>. Moreover, the <code>assign</code> provides a way to sets declaratively some convenient properties:</p><ul><li>It is possible to sets <code>data-*</code>/<code>aria-*</code> attributes using object notation.</li><li>In opposite, it is also possible to sets <code>data-*</code>/<code>aria-*</code> attribute using camelCase notation.</li><li>You can use string or object as a value for <code>style</code> property.</li><li><code>className</code> (IDL – preffered)/<code>class</code> are ways to add CSS class to the element. You can use string (similarly to <code>class="…"</code> syntax in HTML) or array of strings. This is handy to concat conditional classes.</li><li>Use <code>classList</code> to toggle specific classes. This will be handy later when the reactivity via signals is beeing introduced.</li><li>The <code>assign</code> also accepts the <code>undefined</code> as a value for any property to remove it from the element declaratively. Also for some IDL the corresponding attribute is removed as it can be confusing. <em>For example, natievly the element’s <code>id</code> is removed by setting the IDL to an empty string.</em></li></ul><p>For processing, the <code>assign</code> internally uses <code>assignAttribute</code> and <code>classListDeclarative</code>.</p><!--<dde:mark type="component" name="example" host="this"/>--><divid="code-vc3nn"class="example"><pre><codeclass="language-javascript">import { assignAttribute, classListDeclarative } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jaandrle/deka-dom-el/dist/esm-with-signals.js";
