Alert Methods

The Alert component exposes two public methods to be used via JavaScript:

.close()

The method hides an initialized alert and remove it from DOM.

.dispose()

Removes the component from target element. If the alert has been closed, calling this method should produce no effect, since the alert was already removed from the DOM.

Alert Events

The component's original events are same as with the original jQuery Plugin. The event.target of the events is the <div class="alert"> element, and not the initialization target with the data-dismiss="alert" attribute.

Alert DATA API

The component will initialize all elements with proper DATA API found in the DOM. Note that the data-dismiss="alert" attribute is required for the triggering button.

<!-- notice the <button> with the data-dismiss="alert" attribute -->
<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <button id="myButtonAlert" type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
  </button>
  Some critical notice.
</div>

Alert JavaScript API

After inserting a new alert into the page, you can initialize it via JavaScript. Considering the above markup, you can do the following:

// initialize
var myWarningAlertInit = new BSN.Alert('#myButtonAlert');

Also attach handlers to the original events:

// close.bs.alert
myButtonAlert.closest('.alert').addEventListener('close.bs.alert', function(event){
  // do something cool
  // event.target is <div class="alert">
}, false);

// closed.bs.alert
myButtonAlert.closest('.alert').addEventListener('closed.bs.alert', function(event){
  // do something cool
  // event.target is <div class="alert">
}, false);

Like all components of the library you can access the initialization object even if it was done via the DATA API:

// find an element initialized via DATA API
var myAlertButton = document.getElementById('myAlertButton');

// reference the initialization object
var myAlertInit = myAlertButton.Alert;

// apply the public methods
myAlertInit.close();
// or 
myAlertInit.dispose();

Alert Examples

This alert has some handlers attached to close.bs.alert and closed.bs.alert events, so check your console.

This alert uses the closed.bs.alert event to show another alert.

Button Methods

.dispose()

Removes the component from target element.

Button Events

Unlike the original jQuery Plugin, the Button component comes with an original event, consistent in all supported browsers. The event.target can be the element with the data-toggle="buttons" attribute and the button that just changed it's active state.

Button DATA API

The component will initialize all .btn-group elements with the data-toggle="buttons" and works with radio buttons and checkboxes that use this markup:

 <!-- the btn-group component -->
<div id="myRadioButtonGroup" class="btn-group btn-group-toggle" data-toggle="buttons">
  <label class="btn btn-secondary active">
    <input type="radio" checked> Checkbox 1 (pre-checked) <!-- OR type="radio" -->
  </label>
  <label class="btn btn-secondary">
    <input type="radio"> Checkbox 2 <!-- OR type="radio" -->
  </label>
  <label class="btn btn-secondary">
    <input type="radio"> Checkbox 3 <!-- OR type="radio" -->
  </label>
</div>

Button JavaScript API

If the above markup is present in the DOM when the library is loaded, it will initialize via DATA API, if inserted later into the DOM, here's how to initialize it:

// initialize
var myRadioButtonGroupINIT = new BSN.Button('#myRadioButtonGroup');

The myRadioButtonGroup element now stores store the initialization object, just like the other components of the library:

// reference the initialization, even for DATA API initialized btn-group elements
var myRadioButtonGroupINIT = myRadioButtonGroup.Button;

The only thing left to do is to attach handlers to the original events:

//let's do some custom binding action
myRadioButtonGroup.addEventListener('change.bs.button', function(event) {
  // do something when anything inside the btn-group changes
  // event.target is myRadioButtonGroup
});
myRadioButtonGroup.getElementsByTagName('INPUT')[0].addEventListener('change.bs.button',function(event) {
  // do something only when THE FIRST input changes
  // event.target is the first <input type="radio"> found in myRadioButtonGroup
});

Since the native change event isn't consistent in most legacy browsers, with the help of polyfills and the original change.bs.button event you can easily bind other functions into the context of a .btn-group and / or it's child inputs.

Button Examples

You should open your console to test the handler functions bound by the change.bs.button event of the following checkboxes and radio buttons. You should notice that the event isn't triggered twice.

First we'll toggle some checkboxes.

Checkbox 1 (pre-checked) Checkbox 2 Checkbox 3

Finally we toggle radio buttons.

Radio 1 (preselected) Radio 2 Radio 3

In addition, the component will also work outside the <div class="btn-group">.

Radio 1 Radio 2 (preselected) Radio 3

Carousel Options

Carousel Methods

.cycle()

The method will cycle through items. Using the method while the animation is running will produce no effect.

.slideTo()

The method will allow you to jump to the index of a certain item. Using the method while the animation is running will produce no effect.

.getActiveIndex()

The method returns the index of the current active item.

.dispose()

Removes the component from target element.

Carousel Events

The Carousel component exposes two events that allow you to trigger custom functionality when the carousel slides. All the component's events are triggered on the <div class="carousel"> element. Both events have the following additional properties:

direction

The direction the carousel is sliding, either left or right.

from

The index of the current carousel item (integer starting with 0 index).

to

The index of the next carousel item.

relatedTarget

The DOM element of the next carousel item.

Carousel DATA API

The component covers most of the original implementation in regards to DATA API, except that you can ignore some of the attributes for the controls, but they must have at least their specific class in order to work. This is a basic template markup followed by a complete attribute breakdown:

<!-- the Carousel component -->
<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" data-interval="5000" data-touch="true" data-pause="hover">
  <!-- Indicators -->
  <ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
    <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
  </ol>
  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="carousel-item active">
      <img class="img-fluid" src="..." alt="...">
      <div class="carousel-caption">
      <h3>This is a carousel caption</h3>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img class="img-fluid" src="..." alt="...">
      <div class="carousel-caption">
      <h3>This is a caption</h3>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img class="img-fluid" src="..." alt="...">
      <div class="carousel-caption">
      <h3>This is another caption</h3>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <!-- Controls -->
  <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#myCarousel" role="button" data-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="sr-only">Prev</span>
  </a>
  <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#myCarousel" role="button" data-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="sr-only">Next</span>
  </a>
</div>

A quick walk through the attributes:

• id="myCarousel" is not required for any of the component's functionality, except cases when you need to interact with it and attach additional functionality;
• data-ride="carousel" is the attribute required if you want the Carousel component to initialize your element on page load;
• data-keyboard="false" (not shown in the sample markup) is the attribute that enables carousel navigation via keyboard left and right arrow keys;
• data-interval="5000" sets the automatic slide interval; the false value will disable automatic slide transition; the usage of this attribute for each item is not implemented in BSN;
• data-pause="hover" is the attribute you can set to pause the carousel on mouse hover, but it also adds a paused class to your carousel; if the above is also false, this setting has no effect;
• data-touch="true" is the attribute you can set to enable touch support for your carousel, however, you must have at least 3 .carousel-item elements in order to work;
• data-slide-to="0" is an attribute used by .carousel-indicators elements, BSN does not require this attribute in order to work, it will simply look into elements of the .carousel-indicators; when clicked will slide to the carousel item with the same index, 0 (zero) in this case;
• data-slide="prev" / data-slide="next" when clicked, will slide to the next / previous carousel item; these attributes are optional, but the class carousel-control is required;
• href="#myCarousel" attribute is not required for the next and previous controls; we will see in the example below why now and how to do it with BSN;
• class="carousel-item active" / class="active" when active class is present for a carousel item or indicator, that indicates which carousel item is currently shown to the user, the above .getActiveIndex() method will look for it when needed.

Carousel JavaScript API

The component grants full access to the internal working via JavaScript; whether via the public methods or the original events, you can do a whole bunch of things. Assuming the above markup have been injected into the DOM, let's go ahead and initialize it:

// initialize with some options
var myCarouselInit = new BSN.Carousel('#myCarousel', { // these options values will override the ones set via DATA API
  interval: false,
  pause: false,
  keyboard: false
});

And now we can play with the methods:

// use getActiveIndex()
var currentActiveItem = myCarouselInit.getActiveIndex();

// jump to a certain item
myCarouselInit.slideTo(2);

// if the carousel was set with `interval: false`
// we can do this to go to the next item
myCarouselInit.cycle();

// anytime you need to destroy
myCarouselInit.dispose();

As you probably expect by now, this component also stores the initialization in the element it targets on initialization, even for instances where the DATA API was used:

// get some carousel item and reference the initialization
var mySpecialCarouselInit = document.getElementById('mySpecialCarousel').Carousel;

// apply methods
mySpecialCarouselInit.cycle();

Also, additional interaction can be coded around the original events:

// this event handler function will run when the carousel begins to slide
document.querySelector('.carousel').addEventListener('slide.bs.carousel', event => {
  if (event.target.id !== '#myCarousel') {
    event.preventDefault(); // preventDefault for your special case
    return;
  }
  // or do something with the event specific properties
  console.log("The carousel is sliding " + event.direction);
  console.log("The carousel is sliding to index " + event.to);
  console.log("The carousel is sliding from index " + event.from);
});

Carousel Example

This is a test demonstrating the component capabilities and it's events, so open your console, and start clicking, you will be noticed before and after the animation. Also know that there was no active item set by default in the markup, proving the component can successfully manage this case by setting the first item as active on initialization.

This is another carousel

This is a caption

This is another caption

Previous Next

These three independent buttons use some inline JavaScript to control the carousel:

<button class="btn btn-secondary" 
  onclick="myCarousel.Carousel.slideTo(0)">
  START
</button>

<button 
  class="btn btn-secondary"
  onclick="myCarousel.Carousel.slideTo(myCarousel.Carousel.getActiveIndex() - 1 )">
  PREV
</button>

<button 
  class="btn btn-secondary"
  onclick="myCarousel.Carousel.slideTo(myCarousel.Carousel.getActiveIndex() + 1 )">
  NEXT
</button>

This highlights the fact that we don't need to use href="#myCarousel" attribute for the carousel controls, if the carousel itself has an ID, the above markup shows you how to do it, easily:

• when clicked, the first <button> will slide to first slide
• when clicked, the second <button> will slide to PREVIOUS slide
• when clicked, the third <button> will slide to NEXT slide

Collapse Options

The option below allow you to connect a collapse to a parent accordion.

Collapse Methods

Calling any of the public methods while animation is running, will produce no effect.

.show()

The method will expand a collapsible element. In addition, if the collapsible element is part of an accordion (it's options include a reference to a parent), it will also close any other visible collapsible element.

.hide()

The method hides a collapsible element.

.toggle()

The method will show / or hide a collapsible element using the above methods and their full functionalities.

.dispose()

Removes the component from the target element.

Collapse Events

All the component's events are attached to the collapsible element and not its targeting button / element, with other words, the event.target is the element with the class="collapse" attribute.

Collapse DATA API

In the following markup, the component will initialize the two .btn elements with the data-toggle="collapse" attribute, both refferencing the same collapsible element via specific atttributes.

<!-- toggle collapse via link with HREF reference -->
<a id="collapseLink" class="btn btn-primary" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample"
  data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExample"> <!-- required DATA API -->
  Link with href
</a>

<!-- AND / OR toggle collapse via button with data-target attribute reference -->
<button id="collapseButton" class="btn btn-primary" type="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample"
  data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseExample"> <!-- required DATA API -->
  Button with data-target
</button>

<!-- and the basic collapsible template -->
<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
  <div class="card card-body">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Now if we stack multiple collapsible elements and wrap them into one parent with an ID attribute and some helper CSS classes, we can easily create an accordion.

<!-- accordion template -->
<div class="accordion" id="myAccordion">
  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-header" id="headingOne">
      <h4>
        <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#myAccordion" href="#collapseOne" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="collapseOne">
          Collapsible Group Item #1
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseOne" class="panel-collapse collapse show" aria-labelledby="headingOne">
      <div class="card-body">
        Collapse CONTENT 1
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-header" id="headingTwo">
      <h4>
        <a class="collapsed" role="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#myAccordion" href="#collapseTwo" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseTwo">
          Collapsible Group Item #2
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseTwo" class="panel-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="headingTwo">
      <div class="card-body">
        Collapse CONTENT 2
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-header" id="headingThree">
      <h4>
        <a class="collapsed" role="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#myAccordion" href="#collapseThree" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseThree">
          Collapsible Group Item #3
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseThree" class="panel-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="headingThree">
      <div class="card-body">
        Collapse CONTENT 3
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Collapse JavaScript API

If the above single collapse template have been inserted into the DOM, you need to initialize it via JavaScript.

// initialize the component for collapse trigger
var myCollapseInit = new BSN.Collapse('#collapseLink')

This now enables you to work with the public methods.

// call the show() right away
myCollapseInit.show();

// call the hide() later
myCollapseInit.hide();

// OR call toggle() some other time
myCollapseInit.toggle();

// lastly, destroy when needed
myCollapseInit.dispose();

Also we can attach some handlers to the original events:

// first, we need to reference the collapsible element
var myCollapseExample = document.getElementById(collapseLink.getAttribute('href').replace('#',''));

// attach a handler to the `show.bs.collapse` original event
myCollapseExample.addEventListener('show.bs.collapse', function(event){
  // do something cool when .show() method is called
  // event.target is myCollapseExample
}, false);

Alright, now let's say the above accordion template have been inserted into the DOM, you need to initialize its collapsible elements right away via JavaScript.

// grab the accordion by its ID
var myAccordion = document.getElementById('myAccordion');

// grab the collapsible triggers for this accordion
var myAccordionTriggers = myAccordion.querySelectorAll('[data-toggle="collapse"]');

// initialize the component for each collapse trigger
Array.from(myAccordionTriggers).map(
  collapseTrigger => new BSN.Collapse(
    collapseTrigger,
    {
      parent: myAccordion
    }
  )
)

The component grants access to the initialization even for instances where the DATA API was used.

// grab the collapse trigger initialized via DATA API
var myCollapseTrigger = document.getElementById('myCollapseTrigger');

// reference the initialization
var myCollapseTriggerInit = myCollapseTrigger.Collapse;

Collapse Examples

Single collapsible element

Here's a quick demo with a single collapsible element, using the .well as the container, exactly as described in the Usage section. The demo also features the original events.

Accordion / Multiple Collapsible Elements

Here's an Accordion example, built with a set of Panels wrapped in a <div class="panel-group"> element. When the toggle links are clicked, our Collapse component will look for the closest <div class="accordion-className"> or <div id="accordion-id"> via data-parent="selector" and will hide any visible collapsible element.

Remember that all triggering buttons must reference the accordion via data-parent="selector" as described above in order to collapse current opened collapsible element.

Dropdown Options

Dropdown Methods

.toggle()

For a given initialization the method shows the dropdown-menu if hidden or hides it otherwise.

.dispose()

Removes the Dropdown component from target element.

Dropdown Events

The Dropdown component covers original events. The target of all events is the <div class="dropdown"> element, while the event.relatedTarget can be either the triggering element with the specific data-toggle="dropdown" attribute or a child element of the <div class="dropdown-menu"> element, depending on which one you click.

If you dismiss the dropdown via JavaScript, the Esc key or by clicking outside the triggering button, the event.relatedTarget is null.

Dropdown DATA API

Notice we use same markup as the original example, the triggering element with the data-toggle="dropdown" attribute will initialize the Dropdown component.

<!-- basic dropdown template -->
<div class="dropdown">
  <button id="myDropdown" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Dropdown button
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="myDropdown">
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action 1</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action 2</a>
  </div>
</div>

Dropdown JavaScript API

When you want full control or you need a way to handle dynamically generated dropdown-menus, you can do it via JavaScript. Considering the above HTML was inserted into the DOM, let's initialize it real quick:

// initialize component with it's 'persist' option
var myDropdownInit = new BSN.Dropdown( '#myDropdown', true );

// OR initialize component with no option
// the option is optional
var myDropdownInit = new BSN.Dropdown( '#myDropdown' );

All right, now we have an initialization reference, we can get to work with the component's methods:

// assuming the above, we can toggle
myDropdownInit.toggle();

// or we can simply re-initialize and toggle the dropdown right away
var newDropdownInitialization = new BSN.Dropdown('#myDropdown').toggle();

Also assuming the above HTML was used for your dropdown-menu, we can also attach the original events to the parent of the triggering element, which is the <div class="dropdown"> element:

// show.bs.dropdown
myDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('show.bs.dropdown', function(event){
  // do something when the event fires
  // event.target is the PARENT of the triggering element
  // event.relatedTarget is the triggering element
}, false);

// shown.bs.dropdown
myDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('shown.bs.dropdown', function(event){
  // do something when the event fires
  // event.target is the PARENT of the triggering element
  // event.relatedTarget is the triggering element
}, false);

// hide.bs.dropdown
myDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('hide.bs.dropdown', function(event){
  // do something when the event fires
  // event.target is the PARENT of the triggering element
}, false);

// hidden.bs.dropdown
myDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('hide.bs.dropdown', function(event){
  // do something when the event fires
  // event.target is the PARENT of the triggering element
}, false);

When your dropdown-menus have a different structure and the myDropdown.parentNode is NOT the <div class="dropdown"> element, you might consider a getClosest() function to find it so you can then attach the original events to it.

Now, the Dropdown component also stores the initialization object in the targeted elements, just as for the modal triggering buttons:

// reference the initialization
var myDropdownInit = document.getElementById('myDropdown').Dropdown;

// use the public Methods
myDropdownInit.toggle();
// or
myDropdownInit.dispose();

Also you can do a simple check for the existence of 'Dropdown' in myDropdown element to make sure you don't go the wrong way.

Dropdown Examples

Right out of the box, the above dropdown template is initialized via DATA-API right away.

Ok now let's insert a new dropdown-menu and initialize right after via JavaScript.

// let's do it via a click handler to the following element
var makeMeDropdown = document.getElementById('makeMeDropdown');

// let's say we have a dropdown template as the above
// you may also reference one that you created yourself
var myDropdownTemplate = '<div class="dropdown">a valid template</div>';

makeMeDropdown.addEventListener('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();

  // don't do this again
  if ( !/\bdisabled/.test(makeMeDropdown.className) ){

    // invalidate the makeMeDropdown
    this.setAttribute('disabled',true);
    this.className = 'btn btn-default disabled';
    this.innerHTML = 'All done';

    // we inject the dropdown
    this.parentNode.innerHTML += myDropdownTemplate;
    // or use appendChild when myDropdownTemplate is an Element instance
    // this.parentNode.appendChild( myDropdownTemplate );

    // get a reference to the new dropdown
    var formDropdown = document.getElementById('formDropdown');

    // initiate with option
    var DropdownInit = new BSN.Dropdown(formDropdown, true);

    // also attach Dropdown original events
    formDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('show.bs.dropdown', function(e){
      console.log('Do something when the event fires');
    }, false);
    formDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('shown.bs.dropdown', function(e){
      console.log('Do something when the event fires');
    }, false);
    formDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('hide.bs.dropdown', function(e){
      console.log('Do something when the event fires');
    }, false);
    formDropdown.parentNode.addEventListener('hidden.bs.dropdown', function(e){
      console.log('Do something when the event fires');
    }, false);
  }
}, false);

That's all there is to do with Dropdown initialization, let's check a quick demo.

A quick last example is with nested dropdown-menus, as the component will look for the child elements and will prevent itself from closing if the click target is a child item with data-toggle attribute.

Be sure to check the markup of the above examples and the original plugin documentation page.

Modal Options

With native JavaScript we don't need the show option because we can immediatelly access the component's public methods right after initialiation, we'll have a look at an example in a minute.

The default options' values are same as their jQuery plugin equivalents so you can expect same behavior.

When your modal title and/or content is in fact an HTML markup string, please make sure you sanitize the content of that markup string.

Modal Methods

For full control the Modal component exposes a couple of public methods to be used via JavaScript :

.show()

The method that shows an initialized modal. When called, it will also hide any other visible modal before showing the one requested, making sure to keep the backdrop in place.

.hide()

This hides an initialized modal. Additionally it will also close (if enabled) the backdrop.

.toggle()

When called it shows the modal if hidden and hides it otherwise, using one of the above two methods.

.setContent()

The method to enable you to set/overwrite the content of <div class="modal-content"> element of your modal at any time, but you might want to avoid using this method while the modal is animating. Make sure your content is sanitized.

.update()

This allows you to update the modal layout (handling overflowing/non-overflowing body and/or modal) after you have changed it's content or other layout changes occured. This would naturally follow the previous .setContent() method.

.dispose()

New with BSN 3.0 is the addition of .dispose() method that allow you to remove the modal functionality from a target element. If the modal is shown, this method will close it first by calling the .hide() method before the removal of the functionality.

Modal Events

All original events are triggered for the <div class="modal"> element and not the initialization target with its usual data-toggle="modal" attribute.

If modal is opened via JavaScript methods, or by clicking on another element that is not a modal triggering element, the relatedTarget is null.

Modal DATA API

You can initialize Modal without writing any code as long as you have a modal and a trigger with data-target or a link with href referencing that modal. The component will initialize for all elements with data-toggle="modal" found in the DOM.

<!-- provide a trigger button -->
<button id="myModalTrigger" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch modal</button>

<!-- Alternatively provide a link -->
<a id="myModalTrigger" data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal">Launch modal</a>

<!-- also the modal itself -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        Some content
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

The DATA API is best suited for static content dialogs.

Modal JavaScript API

Generally you can initialize Modal for any instance of <div class="modal"> and immediately get access to methods. Alternativelly you can initialize on a triggering element, similar to how the DATA API works, in this case the data-toggle="modal" is not required, but you need to specify a modal reference via a specific attribute:

• data-target="#modalId" which is suitable for <button> elements;
• href="#modalId" which is specific for <a> anchor link elements.

The JavaScript API covers the only way to deal with dynamic content, the later added modals. Let's create a very basic modal template for this guide.

<!-- blank modal template -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <!-- the .setContent() method will update this element's HTML -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Next we can initialize this modal and get access to public methods right away:

// initialize on a <div class="modal"> with all options
// Note: options object is optional
var myModalInstance = new BSN.Modal(
  '#myModal', // target selector
  { // options object
    content: '<div class="modal-body">Some content to be set on init</div>', // sets modal content
    backdrop: 'static', // we don't want to dismiss Modal when Modal or backdrop is the click event target
    keyboard: false // we don't want to dismiss Modal on pressing Esc key
  }
);

Now you can re-initialize your target elements very much like the original plugin, but with native JavaScript syntax:

// re-initialize on a target with different options
// also call the .show() method right away
var myNewModalInstance = new BSN.Modal('#myModal', { backdrop: true }).show();

Keep in mind that re-initializing will make use of the .dispose() method to clear memory allocated for previous initialization, which involves two things: reseting the other options' values to the DATA API specified, or default values if not specified on re-initialization AND lastly, if the modal is open, on re-initialization the modal will be hidden via .hide(), but you can still access the .show() method right away.

In other cases you can designate one or multiple triggering elements to open your modal, they will be the target of the constructor initialization and allow you to use same modal as a template to handle contents pushed by the triggering elements.

<!-- <button> referencing the modal -->
<button type="button" id="buttonID" class="btn btn-primary" data-target="#modalID">My Button</button>

<!-- <a> referencing the modal -->
<a id="anchorID" class="btn btn-primary" href="#modalID">My Link</a>

Now let's initialize one of them right away:

// initiate Modal on a triggering element
var myModalInstance = new BSN.Modal('#myButton',
{ // options object
  content: '<div class="modal-body">Some content to be set on init</div>', // sets modal content
  keyboard: false // we don't want to dismiss Modal on pressing Esc key
});

Now we have an initialization reference in myModalInstance, regardless of which element is the target of our constructor, we can start applying the component's public methods.

// show the modal at any time
myModalInstance.show();

// hide the modal
myModalInstance.hide();

// toggle the modal (show/hide)
myModalInstance.toggle();

// change the modal content
myModalInstance.setContent('<div class="modal-body">Some different content</div>');

// if the above method is used while modal was shown, you can then ask for a layout update
myModalInstance.update();

// when initialization is no longer needed, you can destroy it
myModalInstance.dispose();

Any element initialized via DATA API or JavaScript, automatically grants access to the component's original events.

// GET THE EVENT TARGET, THE MODAL
// when we are certain which modal ID to work with
var myModal = document.getElementById('modalID');

// also button trigger related (especially when modals are targeted by multiple triggering elements)
// a triggering element is a link
var myModal = document.getElementById(myModalTriggerButton.getAttribute('href').replace('#',''));
// OR triggering element is not a link
var myModal = document.getElementById(myModalTriggerButton.getAttribute('data-target').replace('#',''));

// ATTACH HANDLERS
// show.bs.modal event
myModal.addEventListener('show.bs.modal', function(event){
  // do something when this event triggers
  // event.target is the modal referenced in myModal
  // event.relatedTarget is the button referenced with myModalTriggerButton
}, false);

// shown.bs.modal event
myModal.addEventListener('shown.bs.modal', function(event){
  // do something when this event triggers
  // event.target is the modal referenced in myModal
  // event.relatedTarget is the button referenced with myModalTriggerButton
}, false);

// hide.bs.modal event
myModal.addEventListener('hide.bs.modal', function(event){
  // do something when this event triggers
  // event.target is the modal referenced in myModal
}, false);

// hidden.bs.modal event
myModal.addEventListener('hidden.bs.modal', function(event){
  // do something when this event triggers
  // event.target is the modal referenced in myModal
}, false);

Additionally the component will store in the modal OR its triggering elements some references, for the internal execution, hopefully would help you as well. For instance, when a modal is referenced by one or more triggering elements, it will know which one was clicked last time to execute the .show() instance method.

// for modals with multiple triggering elements, the value changes every time the triggering element was clicked
var lastModalTrigger = myModal.modalTrigger;

// for modals targeted directly by the component with no triggering element
// you can access the initialization object from the modal itself
var myModalInit = myModal.Modal;

Also each triggering element holds the initialization of the Modal component:

// when a modal was initialized via DATA API
// OR a triggering element is the target of the Modal constructor
var myModalInstance === document.getElementById('myModalTrigger').Modal;

These references are used internally to hide currently visible modals when showing another one. When the component is used via JavaScript only without a triggering element, you need to manually hide (via .hide() instance method) any visible modal before showing another modal (via the .show() instance method).

Modal Examples

Modal Initialized via DATA API

The first example is a modal with static content initialized via DATA API, exactly as described in the above Use via DATA API section, and showcasing the ability to show another modal from a modal currently visible.

Launch simple modal

Modal Initialized and Manipulated via JavaScript API

The following examples are focused on everything the Modal component offers for JavaScript initialization and usage. Given a modal template and some buttons to open the modal on click, let's initialize it first:

// we grab a modal by ID
var myModal = document.getElementById('myModal');

// we grab some button by ID, we will use it later
var btnModal = document.getElementById('openModalViaJS');
// this button IS NOT a triggering element, as it has no reference to the above modal

// set a custom content
var firstModalContent = '<div class="modal-header">'
  +'<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalJSLabel">Modal title</h4>'
  +'<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">'
    +'<span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>'
  +'</button>'
  +'</div>'
  +'<div class="modal-body">'
    +'<p>This is where you fill up content you know, etc.</p>'
  +'</div>'
  +'<div class="modal-footer">'
    +'<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>'
  +'</div>';

// initialize Modal for this triggering element
var modalInitJS = new BSN.Modal(myModal, {
  content: firstModalContent,
  backdrop: 'static'
});

// OR initialize with no options provided
// the options object is optional
var modalInitJS = new BSN.Modal(myModal);

// when we click btnModal, open the modal
btnModal.addEventListener('click', function(e){
  modalInitJS.show();
}, false)

// BONUS
// since there is no triggering element, you might need
// access to the initialization object from another application
var findModalInitJS = myModal.Modal;

Here is what the above code does:

Open Modal

Next we will initialize another triggering button, and attach a handler to it to change content of the modal when clicked.

// the triggering element
var btnModal2 = document.getElementById('openModalViaJS2');

// set some custom content or get if from external sources
var externalModalContent = {
  title: 'A modal title',
  content: 'Modal content to fill the modal-body.',
};

// set a custom modal-content template
var secondModalContent =
'<div class="modal-header">'
  +'<h4 class="modal-title" id="gridModalLabel">' + externalModalContent.title + '</h4>'
  +'<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">'
    +'<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>'
  +'</button>'
+'</div>'
+'<div class="modal-body">'
  +'<p>' + externalModalContent.content + '</p>'
+'</div>'
+'<div class="modal-footer">'
  +'<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>'
+'</div>';

// initialize Modal for this triggering element
var modalInitJS2 = new BSN.Modal(btnModal2, { backdrop: 'static' });

// because we initialized the component for this button
// this becomes the triggering element to hold the initialization object
var modalInitJSInit2 = btnModal2.Modal;

// now when we click this modal triggering element, we change the modal content
btnModal2.addEventListener('click', function() {
  modalInitJS2.setContent(secondModalContent);
}, false);

By changing the innerHTML of the modal-header, modal-body or modal-footer with variables, you can achieve exactly the same as the other examples from the demo of the original plugin. So we use same modal, but with different content:

Open Modal

Now if you go back to the previous triggering button and click it, you will notice that the modal is still like it was set by the second triggering button. Let's reset the modal content:

// we grab the button by ID
var btnModalNotTrigger = document.getElementById('modalNotTriggerJS');

// simply attach a click handler to it
btnModalNotTrigger.addEventListener('click', function() {
  modalInitJS.setContent(firstModalContent);  // revert modal content back to previous
  modalInitJS.show(); // also show the modal
}, false);

Back to the previous modal content:

Reset

Another example is using the .update() method. Let's say we have a modal initialized via DATA API, you might think we cannot access this instance's methods. Remember the trigger button stores the initialization?

var modalUpdate = document.getElementById('modalUpdate'), // the trigger
anotherStaticModal = document.getElementById('anotherStaticModal'), // the modal
currentStaticModalBody = anotherStaticModal.querySelector('.modal-body'), // the body of the current modal
currentStaticModalBodyContent = currentStaticModalBody.innerHTML, // we cache the content of the body
modalUpdateInit = modalUpdate.Modal, // the initialization
changeModal1 = document.getElementById('changeModal1'), // the change buttons
changeModal2 = document.getElementById('changeModal2');

changeModal1.addEventListener('click', function(){
  currentStaticModalBody.innerHTML = currentStaticModalBodyContent;
  modalUpdateInit.update();
}, false);

changeModal2.addEventListener('click', function(){
  currentStaticModalBody.innerHTML  = '<h4>This modal changed via JavaScript</h4>';
  currentStaticModalBody.innerHTML += '<p>Something you would want to be displayed in the body.</p>';
  modalUpdateInit.update();
}, false);

A quick demo to showcase the above script:

Show modal

Popover Options

The component covers all needed options, including those for a template system:

If a popover is a child element of a <div class="modal">, a <nav class="navbar fixed-top"> or <nav class="navbar fixed-bottom"> element, the container option is set automatically to refference that specific parent.

If a proper template is not specified via JavaScript or the content option is not set in any way, the Popover will not be initialized for that specific element.

In addition to automatic repositioning, the component will try to make sure the popovers are always in the viewport as some Popper.js functionality have been implemented into our component.

When your popover title and/or content is an HTML markup string, please make sure you sanitize the content of the markup string.

Popover Methods

For full control the Popover component exposes a couple of public methods to be used via JavaScript:

.show()

The method shows an initialized popover. When the method is called, it will always create a new popover and append it into your designated container.
This event can be default prevented.

.hide()

The method hides an initialized popover and remove it from its container and also from the memory, as if you would automatically destroy it.
This event can be default prevented.

.toggle()

The method shows the popover if hidden and hides it otherwise, using the above two methods.

.dispose()

Removes the component from the target element.

Popover Events

The component's original events are same as with the original jQuery Plugin, except inserted.bs.popover, just as explained for the Tooltip component.

The event.target of the original events is the the initialization target with the data-toggle="popover" attribute.

Popover DATA API

Our component will initialize any element found to have the data-toggle="popover" attribute and at least the data-content attribute.

<!-- any regular link with data-toggle="popover" -->
<a href="https://google.com" data-title="Google" data-content="Google is cool" data-toggle="popover">Google</a>

<!-- any SVG shape with data-toggle="popover" -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 80 34" width="80" height="34" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect data-toggle="popover" data-placement="top" data-delay="150" data-content="Demo Title for SVG" rx="5"></rect>
</svg>

Popover JavaScript API

After inserting new content into the page, you can initialize any element with Popover via JavaScript. You can also initialize for elements not having the specific DATA API. You can do the following:

// find all elements with data-content attribute
var popoverTargets = document.querySelectorAll('[data-content]'); // also a certain class would go fine

// initialize Popover for each element
Array.from(popoverTargets).map(
  popTarget => new BSN.Popover( popTarget, {
    placement: 'top', //string
    animation: 'slideNfade', // CSS class
    delay: 100, // integer
    dismissible: true, // boolean
  })
);

In addition, similar to any other component of this library, you can access the initialization and the public methods even for elements initialized via DATA API.

// find an element initialized with Popover
var myLinkWithPopover = document.getElementById('myLinkWithPopover');

// reference the initialization object
var myPopoverInit = myLinkWithPopover.Popover;

Just because you can, you can re-initialize any element on the fly, to change options or to just call the .show() method.

// re-initialize Popover and call .show()
new BSN.Popover('#selector',options).show();

Considering the just above element, let's go ahead and put the component's events to use:

// show.bs.popover
myLinkWithPopover.addEventListener('show.bs.popover', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .show() method is called
  // event.target is myLinkWithPopover
}, false);

// shown.bs.popover
myLinkWithPopover.addEventListener('shown.bs.popover', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .show() method completed
  // event.target is myLinkWithPopover
}, false);

// hide.bs.popover
myLinkWithPopover.addEventListener('hide.bs.popover', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .hide() method is called
  // event.target is myLinkWithPopover
}, false);

// hidden.bs.popover
myLinkWithPopover.addEventListener('hidden.bs.popover', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .hide() method completed
  // event.target is myLinkWithPopover
}, false);

To use the template system, you can do the following:

//define some variables or get their values from other scripts
var someTitleFromOtherCode = 'Sample title';
var someContentFromOuterSpace = '<p>Some sample message.</p>';

//initiate Popover with the template
var popover2 = new BSN.Popover('.popover-via-template', { // where .popover-via-template is the text input
  trigger: 'focus',
  template: '<div class="popover" role="tooltip">'
  + '<div class="arrow"></div>'
  + '<h3 class="popover-header">'+someTitleFromOtherCode+'</h3>'
  + '<div class="popover-body">'+someContentFromOuterSpace+'</div>'
  + '</div>'
});

Popover Examples

First let's test all the placement positions, we start with inline links having the bottom placement, then left, and right.

Now we are going to test buttons with a popover with large contents. The last two examples below are using the template system and different trigger options. The popover generated for the last two examples can be dismissed on window resize or blur (focus out).

Left Top with Events Bottom Right Dismissible Click to open

ScrollSpy Options

ScrollSpy Methods

.refresh()

When DOM layout changes occured without triggering a resize of your element, you will have this option to immediately update the status of your menu items.

.dispose()

Removes the ScrollSpy functionality from the element target.

ScrollSpy Events

The event.target is the element we initialized the component via JavaScript or has the data-spy="scroll" attribute. The newly activated menu item is the event.relatedTarget of the event object.

ScrollSpy DATA API

To initialize ScrollSpy, remember the requirements from the original jQuery plugin. The component can initialize any element with overflow: auto|scroll and a fixed height, or the <body> or an immediate child element. For the second case we need some special HTML markup and appropriate styling for containers in order to initialize.

An overflowing element that has set overflow: auto|scroll style rule:

• The headings have the required IDs;
• Only the element requires some additional CSS;
• No special markup required.

<!-- the element we initialize ScrollSpy on -->
<div data-spy="scroll" data-target="#navbar-example" class="scrollspy-example">

  <!-- we look for the position of heading -->
  <h4 id="one">Title ONE</h4>
  <p>Valid TEXT goes here</p>

  <h4 id="twoOne">Title TWO</h4>
  <p>Valid TEXT goes here</p>

  <h4 id="three">Title THREE</h4>
  <p>Valid TEXT goes here</p>

</div>

<!-- we need a target, any of the below elements with an ID will do -->
<nav id="nav-example"> <!-- we can also target it's parent as well -->
  <ul id="navbar-example" class="nav flex-column"> <!-- this is our element's target -->
    <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#one">One</a></li>
    <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#two">Two</a></li>
    <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#three">Three</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

In this case we only need to set a fixed height for the element and change its overflow:

/* the element we initialize ScrollSpy on */
.scrollspy-example {
  position: relative; /* required */
  height: 150px; overflow: auto; /* required: height must be px based, and overflow: scroll/auto */
}

A non-overflowing element that wraps most of the content of your page:

• Special markup IS required;
• The element's child containers have the required IDs;
• Child containers require some additional styling.

<!-- the element we initialize ScrollSpy on -->
<div data-spy="scroll" data-target="#navbar-example" class="scrollspy-example">

<section id="one"> <!-- this is a ScrollSpy container -->
  Valid HTML goes here
</section>

<section id="two">
  <section id="twoone">
    One level nested containers also apply
  </section>

  <section id="twotwo">
    This is your second nested container
  </section>
</section>

</div>

<!-- we need a target, any of the below elements with an ID will do -->
<nav> <!-- we can also target it's parent as well -->
<ul id="myScrollSpyTarget" class="nav flex-column"> <!-- this is our element's target -->
  <li class="nav-item"><a href="#one">One</a></li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#two">Two</a>
    <ul class="nav flex-column">
      <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#twoone">Two One</a></li>
      <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#twotwo">Two Two</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
</nav>

ScrollSpy JavaScript API

For full control and access to the component's features, coding the JavaScript part is a breeze. Assuming the above markup have been injected into the DOM and the CSS is set, let's initialize, apply the public method and attach handlers to the original event.

// the element we initialize ScrollSpy on
var myScrollSpyElement = document.getElementsByClassName('scrollspy-example')[0];

// let's give the initialization a JavaScript reference for the "target" option
var myScrollSpyTarget = document.getElementById('myScrollSpyTarget');

// initialize the ScrollSpy for this element
var myScrollSpyInit = new BSN.ScrollSpy(myScrollSpyElement, {
  // set options
  target : myScrollSpyTarget,
  // alternativelly, provide a valid selector string
  // EG: ".my-unique-class-name" or "#my-unique-ID"

  // in some cases the offset option would help calculate
  // the correct boundaries of target containers
  offset: 15
})

If the initialization validates (the target option is valid and the component links the element with it's target), we have access to the methods and the original event.

// apply the public method after DOM changed
// a new element container and it's corresponding menu item have been injected into the DOM
myScrollSpyInit.refresh();

// attach an event handler
myScrollSpyElement.addEventListener('activate.bs.scrollspy', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff
  // event.target is myScrollSpyElement
  // event.relatedTarget is the menu item link that triggered the event
}, false);

// when no longer needed, destroy
myScrollSpyInit.dispose();

To get access to an initialization object regardless of how it was initialized, here's how to do it:

// grab an element we know it was initialized via DATA API
var myScrollSpy = document.getElementById('myScrollSpy');

// check if the element is already initialized
var myScrollSpyIsInitialized = 'ScrollSpy' in myScrollSpy;

// if the above is true
var myScrollSpyInit = myScrollSpy.ScrollSpy;

// call the public methods
myScrollSpyInit.refresh();
// or
myScrollSpyInit.dispose();

Now this makes alot more sense, especially when you expect full control and also want to make sure you don't attach event handlers multiple times for your elements.

ScrollSpy Examples

According to the above Usage Guide let's initialize an overflowing element via DATA API:

For this example the overflowing element itself is the target of the scroll event, and above it the .nav component as it's target, while for the other example in this page, the side navigation on the right side, the window is the target of the scroll event.

Tab Options

When you set the option to true, this enables a custom functionality that assumes you are using the styling of the Collapse component, and the transitions styling.

Please note that in certain layouts you may need to use the clearfix class for your <div class="tab-content"> element to avoid inconsistent transitions. The option has no effect on legacy browsers.

Tab Methods

.show()

The public method to switch to a certain tab of your choice via JavaScript. If that tab is already visible / active or the method is called while animation is running, the call has no effect.

.dispose()

Removes the component from the target element.

Tab Events

The event.target for the component original events is either the current active tab or the next tab to be activated, depending on the specific event, as explained below. The events will fire in the exact order shown in table below:

Tab DATA API

Here is a sample markup to showcase the usage of the component with the above mentioned methods. As you can see, each of the elements with the data-toggle="tab" attribute are subject to the Tab component initialization.

<!-- for better usage, wrap the tabs and contents -->
<div id="myTabsWrapper">

<!-- Nav tabs -->
<ul id="myTabs" class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" href="#home" data-toggle="tab" data-height="true" aria-controls="home" aria-selected="true" role="tab">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" href="#profile" data-toggle="tab" data-height="true" aria-controls="profile" aria-selected="false" role="tab">Profile</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="messages-tab" href="#messages" data-toggle="tab" data-height="true" aria-controls="messages" aria-selected="false" role="tab">Messages</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="settings-tab" href="#settings" data-toggle="tab" data-height="true" aria-controls="settings" aria-selected="false" role="tab">Settings</a>
  </li>
</ul>

<!-- Tab panes -->
<div class="tab-content">
  <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade active show" aria-labelledby="home-tab" id="home">...</div>
  <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" aria-labelledby="profile-tab" id="profile">...</div>
  <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" aria-labelledby="messages-tab" id="messages">...</div>
  <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" aria-labelledby="settings-tab" id="settings">...</div>
</div>

</div>

Also don't forget that this functionality works on CSS3 enabled browsers with the Collapse styling in place.

Tab JavaScript API

Since the component will target a single element with / or without data-toggle="tab" attribute, but at least it references a corresponding tab via href or data-target, we will need to do a simple loop to initialize multiple elements. Assuming the above markup have been injected into the DOM, let's initialize, use the public method and attach handlers to the original events.

// first, we reference the .nav component that holds all tabs
var myTabs = document.getElementById('myTabs');

// let's give the initialization a JavaScript reference for the "target" option
var myTabsCollection = myTabs.getElementsByTagName('A');

// initialize the component for all items in the collection
Array.from(myTabsCollection).map(
  tab => new BSN.Tab( tab, {height: true} )
);

If each item in the collection meets the expected markup and the tab it referencing is found, the initialization will then validate and give you immediate access to method.

// get last item from collection and reference it's initialization
var myLastTab = myTabsCollection[myTabsCollection.length-1];
var myLastTabInit = myLastTab.Tab;

// assuming the last tab is not active, we can show it
myLastTabInit.show();

// attach an event handler as well
myLastTab.addEventListener('show.bs.tab', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff
  // event.target is myLastTab
  // event.relatedTarget is the previous active tab
}, false);

We could have also built an Object / Array with the initialization objects, but that depends very much on your needs.

Tab Examples

OK now we're ready to put this component to the test. We'll use all Bootstrap .nav components in the pool.

• Home
• Profile
• Dropdown
  Some tab Events

Toast Options

Toast Methods

The Toast component exposes two public methods to be used via JavaScript:

.show()

The method shows an initialized toast.

.hide()

The method hides an initialized toast, but doesn't remove the toast from the DOM.

.dispose()

Removes the component from target element without calling any of the above methods.

Toast Events

The event.target for the component's original events is the one with the class="toast" attribute, which is also the parent of the initialization target, usually the element having the data-toggle="toast" attribute.

Toast DATA API

The component will initialize all elements with proper markup and the specific DATA API attributes found in the DOM. Note that the data-dismiss="toast" attribute is required for the triggering button.

<!-- notice the <button> with the data-dismiss="toast" attribute -->
<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="toast-header">
    <img src="..." class="rounded mr-2" alt="...">
    <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
    <small>11 mins ago</small>
    <button id="myTastyToast" type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">
      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
    </button>
  </div>
  <div class="toast-body">
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
  </div>
</div>

Toast JavaScript API

After inserting a new toast notification into the page, you can initialize it via JavaScript. Considering the above markup, you can do the following:

// initialize
var myTastyToast = new BSN.Toast('#myTastyToast');

Also attach handlers to the original events:

// show.bs.toast
myTastyToast.closest('.toast').addEventListener('show.bs.toast', function(event){
  // do something cool
  // event.target is <div class="toast">
}, false);

// shown.bs.toast
myTastyToast.closest('.toast').addEventListener('shown.bs.toast', function(event){
  // do something cool
  // event.target is <div class="toast">
}, false);

// hide.bs.toast
myTastyToast.closest('.toast').addEventListener('hide.bs.toast', function(event){
  // do something cool
  // event.target is <div class="toast">
}, false);

// hidden.bs.toast
myTastyToast.closest('.toast').addEventListener('hidden.bs.toast', function(event){
  // do something cool
  // event.target is <div class="toast">
}, false);

Like all components of the library you can access the initialization object even if it was done via the DATA API:

// find an element initialized via DATA API
var myToastButton = document.getElementById('myToastButton');

// reference the initialization object
var myToastInit = myToastButton.Toast;

// call the public methods
myToastInit.show();
myToastInit.hide();
// or remove functionality
myToastInit.dispose();

Toast Example

This toast has some handlers attached to all its original events, so check your console.

Show Toast

Tooltip Options

The component covers most important options including a template option, and excluding some of the options featured in the original jQuery plugin such as a selector option for auto-initialization, or a trigger option. The component works different but has it's own advantages.

If your tooltip is a child element of a modal, a <nav class="navbar fixed-top"> or a <nav class="navbar fixed-bottom">, the container option is set automatically to target that specific parent.

The component also provides automatic repositioning, which means it will try to make sure the tooltips are always in the viewport, somewhat similar to the Popper.js functionality, check right here.

When your tooltip title is an HTML markup string, please make sure you sanitize the content of the markup string.

Tooltip Methods

For full control the Tooltip component exposes a couple of public methods to be used via JavaScript:

.show()

The method shows an initialized tooltip. When the method is executed, it will always create a new tooltip and append it into your desired container.

.hide()

The method hides an initialized tooltip and remove it from it's container and also from the memory, as if you would automatically destroy it.

.toggle()

The method shows the tooltip if hidden and hides it otherwise, using the above two methods.

.dispose()

Removes the component from the target element.

Tooltip Events

The component's original events are same as with the original jQuery Plugin, except inserted.bs.tooltip, the way the component works makes that this event is not needed, as it would fire on every instance of the .show() call.

The event.target of the original events is the target element of component, likelly your element with the data-toggle="tooltip" attribute.

Tooltip DATA API

As mentioned before the component will initialize any element found to have the data-toggle="tooltip" attribute and a title or a data-title attribute for SVG elements.

<!-- any regular link with data-toggle="tooltip" -->
<a href="https://google.com" title="Google" data-toggle="tooltip">Google</a>

<!-- any SVG shape with data-toggle="tooltip" -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 80 34" width="80" height="34" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" data-delay="150" data-title="Demo Title for SVG" rx="5"></rect>
</svg>

Tooltip JavaScript API

When you insert new items in the page and want them to initialize the component or you want to have full control over your tooltips, the JavaScript way is the best one. You can also initialize for elements not having the specific DATA API, but at least have a title="Not null title" attribute. You can do the following:

// find all elements with title attribute
var elementsTooltip = document.querySelectorAll('[title]');

// attach a tooltip for each
Array.from(elementsTooltip).map(
  tip => new BSN.Tooltip( tip, {
    placement: 'top', //string
    animation: 'slideNfade', // CSS class
    delay: 150, // integer
  })
)

In addition, similar to any other component of this library, you can access the initialization and the public methods even for elements initialized via DATA API.

// find an element initialized with Tooltip
var myLinkWithTooltip = document.getElementById('myLinkWithTooltip');

// reference the initialization object
var myTooltipInit = myLinkWithTooltip.Tooltip;

Considering the above element, let's go ahead and put the component's events to use:

// show.bs.tooltip
myLinkWithTooltip.addEventListener('show.bs.tooltip', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .show() method is called
  // event.target is myLinkWithTooltip
}, false);

// shown.bs.tooltip
myLinkWithTooltip.addEventListener('shown.bs.tooltip', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .show() method completed
  // event.target is myLinkWithTooltip
}, false);

// hide.bs.tooltip
myLinkWithTooltip.addEventListener('hide.bs.tooltip', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .hide() method is called
  // event.target is myLinkWithTooltip
}, false);

// hidden.bs.tooltip
myLinkWithTooltip.addEventListener('hidden.bs.tooltip', function(event){
  // do some cool stuff when .hide() method completed
  // event.target is myLinkWithTooltip
}, false);

Just because you can, you can re-initialize any element on the fly, to change options or to just call the .show() method.

// re-initialize Tooltip and call .show()
new BSN.Tooltip('#selector',options).show();

Tooltip Examples

Now let's test all the other placement positions, we start with inline links having the bottom placement, then left, and right. Let's put it to the test! Some heavy testing on the automatic repositioning with very very long tooltips.
