How to match JSON with Data Attribute on Multiple Button Onclick

I need a little help with tying JSON, data-attributes and onclick HTML functions.

I have a bottom menu with a list of "badge" buttons with "data-day" attributes (1,2,3...), and a library of cards on top which I fetch from a JSON data file.

Every time a user click on a badge button, I would like JS to fetch the corresponding JSON category so that (JSON) "day": n === "data-day= n" (HTML).

So there are mainly two things to add to this code:

  1. Have the JSON value cardlibrary.cards[i].day match with the HTML data attribute data-day (which I left a 1 value for now),
  2. Add an onclick trigger function on every "badge" button to refresh the card library data when a button is selected.

If there are better ways at going about this, I'm open to suggestions! (I'm new to JS/JSON so my knowledge is quite limited).

Thanks in advance!
