Component naming

What toddle calls component “attributes”, other typical web tech (like React generally or Webflow specifically) calls “properties”. When I see “attributes”, I think data-attributes every time, which is not the same thing.

Why the difference in naming convention?

toddle isn’t react though. Attribute probably originally came from HTML attributes
Component attributes behave similarly
It would be React which deviated from that naming if anything lol. Props are similar in use

That’s what I mean though — HTML attributes are very different from what toddle calls attributes. And what it calls attributes, everything else calls properties. So curious why the inversion

When adding HTML attributes you do it in the attributes tab

Attributes are used to pass data into a component which is what HTML attributes do

React props and toddle attributes do go further in that they are more flexible of course but that's how I relate them
I'm not part of the toddle team though so it's just my guess
