What is bootstrap.native?

bootstrap.native is a JavaScript library that provides native JavaScript components for Bootstrap, eliminating the need for jQuery. It aims to offer the same functionality as Bootstrap's JavaScript components but in a more lightweight and efficient manner.

What are bootstrap.native's main functionalities?

Modal

This code demonstrates how to create and control a Bootstrap modal using bootstrap.native. It initializes a modal and sets up an event listener to show the modal when a button is clicked.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  var myModal = new Modal(document.getElementById('myModal'));
  document.getElementById('openModal').addEventListener('click', function() {
    myModal.show();
  });
});

Tooltip

This code demonstrates how to create a tooltip using bootstrap.native. It initializes a tooltip with a specified title and placement on a target element.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  var tooltipTrigger = document.getElementById('tooltipTrigger');
  var myTooltip = new Tooltip(tooltipTrigger, {
    title: 'This is a tooltip',
    placement: 'top'
  });
});

Dropdown

This code demonstrates how to create a dropdown menu using bootstrap.native. It initializes a dropdown on a specified element.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  var dropdownElement = document.getElementById('myDropdown');
  var myDropdown = new Dropdown(dropdownElement);
});

Bootstrap is the original library that bootstrap.native aims to complement. It provides a comprehensive set of CSS and JavaScript tools for building responsive web applications. Unlike bootstrap.native, Bootstrap's JavaScript components rely on jQuery.

popper.js

Popper.js is a library used to manage poppers in web applications. It is often used in conjunction with Bootstrap for positioning tooltips and popovers. While bootstrap.native provides a more integrated solution for Bootstrap components, Popper.js focuses specifically on positioning elements.

tether

Tether is a JavaScript library for efficiently making an absolutely positioned element stay next to another element on the page. It is similar to Popper.js and can be used with Bootstrap for positioning tooltips and dropdowns. bootstrap.native, on the other hand, provides a more comprehensive set of Bootstrap components without the need for jQuery.
