An Adobe commerce developer wants to initialize a JavaScript component using a data attribute.

To initialize a JavaScript component using a data attribute, the developer should use the data-mage-init attribute. This attribute allows the developer to specify the name and configuration of the component in a JSON format. For example:

This will initialize the nav component from the Vendor_Module/js/nav file with the given options. The data-bind and data-init attributes are not valid and will not work, as they are not supported by Magento. References: [JavaScript initialization], [data-mage-init]
