This page illustrates how to integrate javascript with the Bootstrap library. Below we go over the basics and provide you with some awesome plugins to get you started!

What is this all about?

With this example page, we've set out to make your interactive work with Bootstrap even more simple, offering several lightweight plugins for things like modals, tooltips, and other dynamic components. These plugins have been coded up to work with either jQuery or Ender, but we encourage you to extend and modify them to fit your development needs!

Do I need these?

The short answer is no. These plugins were provided to help you understand how to integrate bootstrap with javascript and to give you a quick lightweight option for dropping something in and getting the basic functionality. So please, roll your own and let us know how it went!

The alert plugin is a super tiny class for adding close functionality to alerts.

Download

Using bootstrap-alert

$(".alert-message").alert()

Methods

$().alert

Wraps all alerts with close functionality. To have your alerts animate out when closed, make sure they have the .fade and .in class already applied to them.
