JavaScript

Bring Arizona Bootstrap to life with our optional JavaScript plugins built on jQuery. Learn about each plugin, our data and programmatic API options, and more.

Individual or Compiled

Plugins can be included individually (using Arizona Bootstrap ’s individual js/dist/*.js), or all at once using arizona-bootstrap.js or the minified arizona-bootstrap.min.js (don’t include both).

If you use a bundler (Webpack, Rollup…), you can use /js/dist/*.js files which are UMD ready.

Dependencies

Some plugins and CSS components depend on other plugins. If you include plugins individually, make sure to check for these dependencies in the docs. Also note that all plugins depend on jQuery (this means jQuery must be included before the plugin files). Consult our package.json to see which versions of jQuery are supported.

Our dropdowns, popovers and tooltips also depend on Popper.

Data Attributes

Nearly all Arizona Bootstrap plugins can be enabled and configured through HTML alone with data attributes (our preferred way of using JavaScript functionality). Be sure to only use one set of data attributes on a single element (e.g., you cannot trigger a tooltip and modal from the same button.)

However, in some situations it may be desirable to disable this functionality. To disable the data attribute API, unbind all events on the document namespaced with data-api like so:

$(document).off('.data-api')

Alternatively, to target a specific plugin, just include the plugin’s name as a namespace along with the data-api namespace like this:

$(document).off('.alert.data-api')

Events

Arizona Bootstrap provides custom events for most plugins’ unique actions. Generally, these come in an infinitive and past participle form - where the infinitive (ex. show) is triggered at the start of an event, and its past participle form (ex. shown) is triggered on the completion of an action.

All infinitive events provide preventDefault() functionality. This provides the ability to stop the execution of an action before it starts. Returning false from an event handler will also automatically call preventDefault().

$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
  if (!data) {
    return event.preventDefault() // stops modal from being shown
  }
})

Programmatic API

We also believe you should be able to use all Arizona Bootstrap plugins purely through the JavaScript API. All public APIs are single, chainable methods, and return the collection acted upon.

$('.btn.danger').button('toggle').addClass('fat')

All methods should accept an optional options object, a string which targets a particular method, or nothing (which initiates a plugin with default behavior):

$('#myModal').modal() // initialized with defaults
$('#myModal').modal({ keyboard: false }) // initialized with no keyboard
$('#myModal').modal('show') // initializes and invokes show immediately

Each plugin also exposes its raw constructor on a Constructor property: $.fn.popover.Constructor. If you’d like to get a particular plugin instance, retrieve it directly from an element: $('[rel="popover"]').data('popover').

Asynchronous Functions and Transitions

All programmatic API methods are asynchronous and return to the caller once the transition is started but before it ends.

In order to execute an action once the transition is complete, you can listen to the corresponding event.

$('#myCollapse').on('shown.bs.collapse', function (event) {
  // Action to execute once the collapsible area is expanded
})

In addition a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored.

$('#myCarousel').on('slid.bs.carousel', function (event) {
  $('#myCarousel').carousel('2') // Will slide to the slide 2 as soon as the transition to slide 1 is finished
})

$('#myCarousel').carousel('1') // Will start sliding to the slide 1 and returns to the caller
$('#myCarousel').carousel('2') // !! Will be ignored, as the transition to the slide 1 is not finished !!

Default Settings

You can change the default settings for a plugin by modifying the plugin’s Constructor.Default object:

// changes default for the modal plugin's `keyboard` option to false
$.fn.modal.Constructor.Default.keyboard = false

No Conflict

Sometimes it is necessary to use Arizona Bootstrap plugins with other UI frameworks. In these circumstances, namespace collisions can occasionally occur. If this happens, you may call .noConflict on the plugin you wish to revert the value of.

var bootstrapButton = $.fn.button.noConflict() // return $.fn.button to previously assigned value
$.fn.bootstrapBtn = bootstrapButton // give $().bootstrapBtn the Arizona Bootstrap
   functionality

Version Numbers

The version of each of Arizona Bootstrap ’s jQuery plugins can be accessed via the VERSION property of the plugin’s constructor. For example, for the tooltip plugin:

$.fn.tooltip.Constructor.VERSION // => "2.0.27"

No Special Fallbacks when JavaScript is Disabled

Arizona Bootstrap ’s plugins don’t fall back particularly gracefully when JavaScript is disabled. If you care about the user experience in this case, use <noscript> to explain the situation (and how to re-enable JavaScript) to your users, and/or add your own custom fallbacks.

Util

All Arizona Bootstrap ’s JavaScript files depend on util.js and it has to be included alongside the other JavaScript files. If you’re using the compiled (or minified) bootstrap.js, there is no need to include this—it’s already there.

util.js includes utility functions and a basic helper for transitionEnd events as well as a CSS transition emulator. It’s used by the other plugins to check for CSS transition support and to catch hanging transitions.

Sanitizer

Tooltips and Popovers use our built-in sanitizer to sanitize options which accept HTML.

The default whiteList value is the following:

var ARIA_ATTRIBUTE_PATTERN = /^aria-[\w-]*$/i
var DefaultWhitelist = {
  // Global attributes allowed on any supplied element below.
  '*': ['class', 'dir', 'id', 'lang', 'role', ARIA_ATTRIBUTE_PATTERN],
  a: ['target', 'href', 'title', 'rel'],
  area: [],
  b: [],
  br: [],
  col: [],
  code: [],
  div: [],
  em: [],
  hr: [],
  h1: [],
  h2: [],
  h3: [],
  h4: [],
  h5: [],
  h6: [],
  i: [],
  img: ['src', 'alt', 'title', 'width', 'height'],
  li: [],
  ol: [],
  p: [],
  pre: [],
  s: [],
  small: [],
  span: [],
  sub: [],
  sup: [],
  strong: [],
  u: [],
  ul: []
}

If you want to add new values to this default whiteList you can do the following:

var myDefaultWhiteList = $.fn.tooltip.Constructor.Default.whiteList

// To allow table elements
myDefaultWhiteList.table = []

// To allow td elements and data-option attributes on td elements
myDefaultWhiteList.td = ['data-option']

// You can push your custom regex to validate your attributes.
// Be careful about your regular expressions being too lax
var myCustomRegex = /^data-my-app-[\w-]+/
myDefaultWhiteList['*'].push(myCustomRegex)

If you want to bypass our sanitizer because you prefer to use a dedicated library, for example DOMPurify, you should do the following:

$('#yourTooltip').tooltip({
  sanitizeFn: function (content) {
    return DOMPurify.sanitize(content)
  }
})
