title: Snippet.attr()
---
The `Snippet.attr()` method can be used to add attributes to the Snippet
object. It calls `this.attributes.add()` under the hood, and returns the
Snippet object.
If the third parameter is set to `true` it will call `this.attributes.set()`
instead, thereby overwriting the value of the attribute.
## Signature
```js
Snippet snippet.attr(
string name,
mixed value,
bool overwrite = false
)
```
:::tip
This method is chainable as it returns the `Snippet` object
:::
## Example
<Example caption="An example of the Snippet.attr() method">
```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, Snippet, snippets, part }) => {
snippets.logo = new Snippet('logo', new Point(0,0))
.attr("data-scale", 0.75)
.attr("data-rotate", 180)
// Prevent clipping
paths.diag = new Path()
.move(new Point(-25,-10))
.move(new Point(25,35))
return part
}
```
</Example>
