Accessing multiple data params passed to link_to in Jquery

I am having trouble accessing multiple data params, passed to a rails link_to, in Jquery. I used to have the following code (embedded HAML):

= link_to "Update Setup/Teardown Times", '#', :class => 'update_setup_teardown_link', :data => @event.id

and I would access it in Jquery by writing the following:

a = $('.update_setup_teardown_link').attr('data');

But, if I had multiple data attributes as such: 

    = link_to "Update Setup/Teardown Times", '#', :class => 'update_setup_teardown_link', :data => {varId: @event.id, bool: true}

how would I be able to individually access these data attributes? Any and all help is appreciated. Cheers~

varId = $('.update_setup_teardown_link').data('varId');
myBool = $('.update_setup_teardown_link').data('bool');

See: https://api.jquery.com/data/

OR

varId = $('.update_setup_teardown_link').attr('data-varId');
myBool = $('.update_setup_teardown_link').attr('data-bool');

See: https://api.jquery.com/attr/
