Our Modal plugin is a super slim take on the traditional modal js plugin, taking special care to include only the bare functionality that we require here at twitter.

Download

Using bootstrap-modal

$('#my-modal').modal(options)

Options

Name	type	default	description
backdrop	boolean	false	Includes a modal-backdrop element
keyboard	boolean	false	Closes the modal when escape key is pressed
show	boolean	false	Opens modal on class initialization

Markup

You can activate modals on your page easily without having to write a single line of javascript. Just give an element a data-controls-modal attribute which corresponds to a modal element id, and when clicked, it will launch your modal. To add modal options, just include them as data attributes as well.

<a class="btn" data-controls-modal="my-modal" data-backdrop="true" >Launch Modal</a>

Notice If you want your modal to animate in and out, just add a .fade class to your .modal element (refer to the demo to see this in action).

Methods

.modal(options)

Activates your content as a modal. Accepts an optional options object.

$('#my-modal').modal({
  closeOnEscape: true
})

.modal('toggle')

Manually toggles a modal.

$('#my-modal').modal('toggle')

.modal('show')

Manually opens a modal.

$('#my-modal').modal('show')

.modal('hide')

Manually hides a modal.

$('#my-modal').modal('hide')

.modal(true)

Returns an elements modal class instance.

$('#my-modal').modal(true)

Notice Alternatively, this can be retrieved with $().data('modal').

Events

Bootstrap's modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality.

Event	Description
show	This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called.
shown	This event is fired when the modal has been made visible to the user (will wait for css transitions to complete).
hide	This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called.
hidden	This event is fired when the modal has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for css transitions to complete).

$('#my-modal').bind('hidden', function () {
  // do something ...
})

This plugin is for adding dropdown interaction to the Bootstrap navbar or tabbed navigations.

Download

Using boostrap-dropdown.js

$('#navbar').dropdown()

Markup

To quickly add dropdown functionality to any nav element, use the data-dropdown attribute. Any valid bootstrap dropdown will automatically be activated.

<ul class="tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li class="dropdown" data-dropdown="true" >
    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle">Dropdown</a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
      <li><a href="#">Secondary link</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
      <li class="divider"></li>
      <li><a href="#">Another link</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Methods

$().dropdown()

A programatic api for activating menus for a given navbar or tabbed navigation.

Demo

This plugin is for adding the scrollspy (auto updating nav) interaction to the bootstrap navbar.

Download

Using boostrap-scrollspy.js

$('#navbar').dropdown()

Markup

To easily add scrollspy behavior to your nav, just add the data-scrollspy attribute to the .navbar.

<div class="navbar" data-scrollspy="scrollspy" >...</div>

Methods

$().scrollspy()

Auto activates navigation buttons by users scroll position.

$('body > .navbar').scrollSpy()

Notice Navbar anchor tags must have resolvable id targets. For example, a <a href="#home">home</a> must correspond to something in the dom like <div id="home"></div>.

.scrollspy('refresh')

The scrollspy caches nav buttons and section coordinates for performance. If you need to update this cache (likely if you have dynamic content) just call this refresh method. If you used the data attribute to define your scrollspy, just call refresh on the body.

$('body').scrollspy('refresh')

Demo

Checkout the the navbar navigation on this page.

This plugin adds quick, dynamic tab and pill functionality.

Download

Using boostrap-tabs.js

$('.tabs').tabs()

Markup

 <ul class="tabs" data-tabs="tabs" >...</ul>

Methods

$().tabs or $().pills

Activates tab and pill functionality for a given container. Tab links should reference id's in the document.

<ul class="tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
</ul>

<div class="pill-content">
  <div class="active" id="home">...</div>
  <div id="profile">...</div>
  <div id="messages">...</div>
  <div id="settings">...</div>
</div>

<script>
  $(function () {
    $('.tabs').tabs()
  })
</script>
