Bring Bootstrap's components to life — now with 12 custom jQuery plugins.
Integrating javascript with the Bootstrap library is super easy. Here we go over the basics and provide you with some awesome plugins to get you started!
Bring some of Bootstrap's primary components to life with custom jQuery plugins. We encourage you to extend and modify them to fit your specific development needs.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| bootstrap-transition.js | The transition plugin is required for adding animation to other bootstrap plugins. Include this plugin (only once) when sliding in modals or fading out alerts. |
| bootstrap-modal.js | Our Modal plugin is a super slim take on the traditional modal js plugin! We took special care to include only the bare functionality that we require here at twitter. |
| bootstrap-dropdown.js | This plugin is for adding generic dropdown interactions to things like navigation top bars and tabs. |
| bootstrap-scrollspy.js | The ScrollSpy plugin is for automatically updating nav targets based on scroll position. |
| bootstrap-tab.js | This plugin adds quick, dynamic tab and pill functionality for transitioning through local content. |
| bootstrap-twipsy.js | Inspired by the excellent jQuery.tipsy plugin written by Jason Frame; twipsy is an updated version, which doesn't rely on images, uses css3 for animations, data-attributes for local title storage, and now jquery 1.7's new event api! |
| bootstrap-popover.js | The popover plugin provides a simple interface for adding popovers to your application. It extends the boostrap-twipsy.js plugin, so be sure to grab that file as well when including popovers in your project! |
| bootstrap-alert.js | The alert plugin is a tiny class for adding close functionality to alerts. |
| bootstrap-button.js | This plugin offers additional functionality for managing button state in single buttons and button sets. |
| bootstrap-collapse.js | The collapse plugin offers simple, generic collapsible element support for making accordions and other collapsible ui components. |
Nope! Bootstrap is designed first and foremost to be a CSS library. This javascript provides a basic interactive layer on top of the included styles.
However, for those who do need javascript, we've provided the plugins above to help you understand how to integrate Bootstrap with javascript and to give you a quick, lightweight option for the basic functionality right away.
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$('#myModal').modal(options)
| Name | type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| backdrop | boolean | true | Includes a modal-backdrop element |
| keyboard | boolean | true | Closes the modal when escape key is pressed |
You can activate modals on your page easily without having to write a single line of javascript. Just set data-toggle="modal" on a controller element with a data-target="#foo" or href="#foo" which corresponds to a modal element id, and when clicked, it will launch your modal.
Also, to add options to your modal instance, just include them as additional data attributes on either the control element or the modal markup itself.
<a class="btn" data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" >Launch Modal</a>
Notice If you want your modal to animate in and out, just add a .fade class to the .modal element (refer to the demo to see this in action).
Activates your content as a modal. Accepts an optional options object.
$('#myModal').modal({
keyboard: false
})
Manually toggles a modal.
$('#myModal').modal('toggle')
Manually opens a modal.
$('#myModal').modal('show')
Manually hides a modal.
$('#myModal').modal('hide')
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). |
$('#myModal').on('hidden', function () {
// do something ...
})
This plugin is for adding generic dropdown interactions to things like navigation top bars and tabs.
Download$('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown()
To quickly add dropdown functionality to any element just add data-toggle="dropdown" and any valid bootstrap dropdown will automatically be activated.
Notice For added control and flexibility, optionally specify a data-target="#fat" or href="#fat" - this allows you to target specific dropdowns.
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li id="secondary" class="dropdown">
<a href="#secondary" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">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>
A programatic api for activating menus for a given navbar or tabbed navigation.
The ScrollSpy plugin is for automatically updating nav targets based on scroll position.
Download$('#navbar').dropdown()
To easily add scrollspy behavior to your topbar navigation, just add data-spy="scroll" to the element you want to spy on (most typically this would be the body).
<body data-spy="scroll" >...</body>
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>.
Scroll the area below and watch the navigation update. The dropdown sub items will be highlighted as well. Try it!

This plugin adds quick, dynamic tab and pill functionality for transitioning through local content.
Download$('#myTab').tab('show')
You can activate a tab or pill navigation without writing any javascript by simply specifying data-toggle="tab" or data-toggle="pill" on an element.
<ul class="tabs"> <li><a href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#profile" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/fat">twitter</a></li> </ul>
Activates a tab element and content container. Tab should have either a `data-target` or an `href` targeting a container node in the dom.
<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>
<script>
$(function () {
$('.tabs a:last').tab('show')
})
</script>
