Select object by data attribute

How to select a object by data? I've found many examples but none of them seens work for me:

$('div').data('name', 'foo');

I've tried:

$('div').find('[data-name]="foo"').hide();
$('div[data-name]="foo"').hide();
$('div[name]="foo"').hide();

any idea?

Use .attr instead:

$('div').attr('data-name', 'foo');
$('div[data-name="foo"]').hide();

Try filter():

var $div = $('div').filter(function() {
    return $(this).data('name') === 'foo'; 
});
$div.hide();
