index.tsx
// get the element with preselectedtime data-start attribute
let timeSlot = $(`.timeslot-time[data-start='${preselectedtime}']`);

// get the value of data-start attribute
let startTime = timeSlot.attr('data-start');

// convert the string to integer
let startTimeInt = parseInt(startTime);

// add + to the start time
let newStartTime = startTimeInt + "+";

Explanation:

  • We start by selecting the element with the preselected time using jQuery $( ) function and the attribute selector [].
  • We get the value of the data-start attribute using .attr( ) method.
  • The parseInt( ) function is used to convert a string to an integer so that we can perform an arithmetic operation.
  • We add + to the startTimeInt variable to create a new string with + appended to the value of data-start attribute.
  • Finally, we set the data-start attribute to the new start time using .attr( ) method.
