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)`.

+```js
+var modal = new bootstrap.Modal('#myModal')
+var dropdown = new bootstrap.Dropdown('[data-bs-toggle="dropdown"]')
