Chapter 26. JavaScript in Bootstrap

For JavaScript in Bootstrap, plugins could be individually included, although some have called for dependencies, or all together. Both bootstrap.min.js and bootstrap.js contain all plugins in one file.

Data Bootstrap Attributes

It’s okay to use Bootstrap plugins completely through the markup API without encoding one line of JavaScript. This is the first class API Bootstrap and should be your main consideration in using a plugin.

With this, in certain situations, it could be ideal to shut off this functionality. Hence, we can provide the capacity to disable the attribute of the data API by unbinding the events on the namespace of the body using the data API.

On the other hand, to target a certain plugin, you can add the name of the plugin as a namespace alongside the data-api such as this:

You can also use Bootstrap plugins completely using the JavaScript API. Take note that all public APIs are chainable, single methods that could yield the acted collection.

The methods must be receptive of the objects that are optional – a string that targets a certain method or nothing that initiates a plugin using a default 'margin-bottom:16.3pt;line-height:normal;background: white'>

Every plugin will also show the raw constructor in the property ‘Constructor’

If you want to obtain a certain plugin occurrence, you can directly retrieve it from an element.

There are times that it is crucial to use Bootstrap plugins using other UI frameworks. In these instances, the collisions namespace could occur occasionally. When this happens, you can call the noconflict in the plugin that you want to revert the value.

Events

Bootstrap offers customized events for many of the special actions of most plugins. In general, these could come in past participle form and infinitive, where the infinitive will be triggered at the beginning of the event. Meanwhile, its past participle form will be triggered when the action has been completed.

All the infinitive events offer the functionality preventDefault, which offers the ability to cease the implementation of the action before it begins.

Conclusion

Again, thank you again for downloading this book!

I hope this book was able to help understand the basics of Javascript, and that you were at least able to practice using the samples mentioned.

The next step is to try looking up more examples so you can start to convert your ideas for dynamic web pages into reality. Also, it’s understandable that you won’t memorize all the concepts and keywords but it would help if you keep this book with you and use the ctrl+f feature to look up keywords should you need to.

Finally, if you enjoyed this book, please take the time to share your thoughts and post a review on Amazon. It’d be greatly appreciated!

Thank you and good luck!
