If you'd like to get a particular plugin instance, each plugin exposes a `getInstance` method. In order to retrieve it directly from an element, do this: `bootstrap.Popover.getInstance(myPopoverEl)`.
+### CSS selectors in constructors
+
+You can also use a CSS selector as the first argument instead of a DOM element to initialize the plugin. Currently the element for the plugin is found by the `querySelector` method since our plugins support a single element only.
+
+```js
+var modal = new bootstrap.Modal('#myModal')
+var dropdown = new bootstrap.Dropdown('[data-bs-toggle="dropdown"]')
