1. Setting Up Bootstrap JavaScript Components

👉 Step 1: Include Bootstrap’s JavaScript File

Before using Bootstrap’s JavaScript components, ensure you have included Bootstrap’s JavaScript bundle in your project.

Example: Include Bootstrap’s JS (via CDN)

<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Bootstrap Bundle with Popper.js -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

✅ Explanation:

• The Bootstrap bundle includes all necessary JavaScript components.

• Popper.js is required for elements like tooltips and dropdowns.

2. Bootstrap Modal (Popup Dialog Box)

👉 Step 1: Create a Button to Open the Modal

Example: Modal with Button Trigger

<!-- Button to Open Modal -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#myModal">
  Open Modal
</button>

<!-- Modal Structure -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title">Modal Title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal"></button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        This is a Bootstrap modal!
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

✅ Explanation:

• data-bs-toggle="modal" → Enables the modal when the button is clicked.

• data-bs-target="#myModal" → Links the button to the modal’s ID.

• fade → Adds a smooth transition effect.

3. Bootstrap Tooltip (Hover Information Box)

👉 Step 1: Enable Tooltips with JavaScript

Bootstrap tooltips require JavaScript initialization.

Example: Tooltip on a Button

<!-- Button with Tooltip -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="This is a tooltip!">
  Hover Me
</button>

<!-- Initialize Tooltip with JavaScript -->
<script>
  var tooltipTriggerList = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('[data-bs-toggle="tooltip"]'));
  var tooltipList = tooltipTriggerList.map(function (tooltipTriggerEl) {
    return new bootstrap.Tooltip(tooltipTriggerEl);
  });
</script>

✅ Explanation:

• data-bs-toggle="tooltip" → Enables tooltip functionality.

• title="This is a tooltip!" → Defines tooltip content.

• JavaScript initialization is required to activate tooltips.

4. Bootstrap Dropdown (Interactive Menu)

👉 Step 1: Create a Dropdown Button

Example: Simple Dropdown Menu

<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown">
    Dropdown Menu
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu">
    <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Option 1</a></li>
    <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Option 2</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

✅ Explanation:

• dropdown-toggle → Enables dropdown functionality.

• data-bs-toggle="dropdown" → Triggers the dropdown on click.

• dropdown-menu → Defines the list of menu options.

5. Bootstrap Accordion (Collapsible Sections)

👉 Step 1: Create an Expandable Accordion

Example: Collapsible Sections with Accordion

<div class="accordion" id="accordionExample">
  <!-- First Item -->
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h2 class="accordion-header">
      <button class="accordion-button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseOne">
        Section 1
      </button>
    </h2>
    <div id="collapseOne" class="accordion-collapse collapse show">
      <div class="accordion-body">
        Content of Section 1.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  
  <!-- Second Item -->
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h2 class="accordion-header">
      <button class="accordion-button collapsed" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseTwo">
        Section 2
      </button>
    </h2>
    <div id="collapseTwo" class="accordion-collapse collapse">
      <div class="accordion-body">
        Content of Section 2.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

✅ Explanation:

• data-bs-toggle="collapse" → Enables expand/collapse functionality.

• data-bs-target="#collapseOne" → Links to the collapsible section.

• accordion-button collapsed → Makes sections collapsible.

6. Bootstrap Carousel (Image Slider)

👉 Step 1: Create a Slideshow

Example: Image Slider with Navigation

<div id="carouselExample" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="carousel-item active">
      <img src="image1.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="Slide 1">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img src="image2.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="Slide 2">
    </div>
  </div>
  <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExample" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon"></span>
  </a>
  <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExample" data-bs-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon"></span>
  </a>
</div>

✅ Explanation:

• carousel slide → Creates a sliding effect.

• carousel-item active → Marks the first image as active.

• data-bs-slide="prev" & data-bs-slide="next" → Navigates slides.

7. Bootstrap Toasts (Small Notifications)

👉 Step 1: Create an Auto-Dismissing Notification

Example: Toast Message with JavaScript Trigger

<div class="toast show">
  <div class="toast-header">
    <strong class="me-auto">Notification</strong>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="toast"></button>
  </div>
  <div class="toast-body">

  </div>
</div>

✅ Explanation:

  <nav id="navbar-example" class="navbar navbar-light bg-light">
    <ul class="nav nav-pills">
      <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#section1">Section 1</a></li>
      <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#section2">Section 2</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>

  <div id="section1">Content 1</div>
  <div id="section2">Content 2</div>
</body>

✅ Explanation:

• data-bs-spy="scroll" → Enables automatic link highlighting.

• data-bs-target="#navbar-example" → Connects to the navbar.
