Plugin dependencies

-

Some plugins and CSS components depend on other plugins. If you include plugins individually, make sure to check for these dependencies in the docs. Also note that all plugins depend on jQuery (this means jQuery must be included before the plugin files). Consult our bower.json to see which versions of jQuery are supported.

Data attributes

You can use all Bootstrap plugins purely through the markup API without writing a single line of JavaScript. This is Bootstrap's first-class API and should be your first consideration when using a plugin.

That said, in some situations it may be desirable to turn this functionality off. Therefore, we also provide the ability to disable the data attribute API by unbinding all events on the document namespaced with data-api. This looks like this:

-
$(document).off('.data-api')
-
+
$(document).off('.data-api')

Alternatively, to target a specific plugin, just include the plugin's name as a namespace along with the data-api namespace like this:

-
$(document).off('.alert.data-api')
-
+
$(document).off('.alert.data-api')

Programmatic API

We also believe you should be able to use all Bootstrap plugins purely through the JavaScript API. All public APIs are single, chainable methods, and return the collection acted upon.

-
$('.btn.danger').button('toggle').addClass('fat')
-
+
$('.btn.danger').button('toggle').addClass('fat')

All methods should accept an optional options object, a string which targets a particular method, or nothing (which initiates a plugin with default behavior):

$('#myModal').modal()                      // initialized with defaults
 $('#myModal').modal({ keyboard: false })   // initialized with no keyboard
-$('#myModal').modal('show')                // initializes and invokes show immediately
-
+$('#myModal').modal('show') // initializes and invokes show immediately
-

Each plugin also exposes its raw constructor on a Constructor property: $.fn.popover.Constructor. If you'd like to get a particular plugin instance, retrieve it directly from an element: $('[rel=popover]').data('popover').

No conflict

Sometimes it is necessary to use Bootstrap plugins with other UI frameworks. In these circumstances, namespace collisions can occasionally occur. If this happens, you may call .noConflict on the plugin you wish to revert the value of.

var bootstrapButton = $.fn.button.noConflict() // return $.fn.button to previously assigned value
-$.fn.bootstrapBtn = bootstrapButton            // give $().bootstrapBtn the Bootstrap functionality
-
+$.fn.bootstrapBtn = bootstrapButton // give $().bootstrapBtn the Bootstrap functionality

Events

-

Bootstrap provides custom events for most plugins' unique actions. Generally, these come in an infinitive and past participle form - where the infinitive (ex. show) is triggered at the start of an event, and its past participle form (ex. shown) is trigger on the completion of an action.

As of 3.0.0, all Bootstrap events are namespaced.

All infinitive events provide preventDefault functionality. This provides the ability to stop the execution of an action before it starts.

$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
   if (!data) return e.preventDefault() // stops modal from being shown
-})
