This is a set of scripts developed with native Javascript for Bootstrap 3 series, and featuring superior performance compared to the original jQuery Plugins. Thanks to Ingwie Phoenix for contributing with npm/RequireJS/CommonJS compatibility. See demo for scripting examples and instructions.
New releases will be available automatically on jsdelivr CDN repositories and CDNjs repositories.
You can install this package by using either Bower or NPM.
$ npm install --save bootstrap.native
$ bower install --save bootstrap.native
bootstrap.native
is UMD (Universal Module Definition) compatible. It will work correctly in CommonJS and AMD environments, but falls back to exporting to window
in a normal <script>
tag environment.
Traditional script-tag example:
<!-- Using one of the CDN repositories-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/bootstrap.native/1.0.5/bootstrap-native.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap.native/1.0.5/bootstrap-native.min.js"></script>
<!-- Using a local assets folder -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/bootstrap.native.min.js"></script>
<!-- Using Bower -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/bower_components/bootstrap.native/dist/bootstrap-native.min.js"></script>
Warning: Do not use files directly from /lib
folder! These files are just sources for the builds located in the /dist
folder.
You can also use bootstrap.native
in a CommonJS environment:
var bsn = require("bootstrap.native");
// Create a button:
var btn = new bsn.Button(...);
Note: If you are working in a virtual browser environment (i.e. running front-end tests in NodeJS), bootstrap-native requires both window
and document
to be in scope. You will need to use a mock browser.
As mentioned above, the object properties of the exported object, when using require()
, are actual classes when document
and window
are given - in which case we are sure to be facing an actual browser - and if absent, will be factory methods.
So when using bootstrap.native
inside of a NodeJS app, make sure you create a proper Browser-like environment first to avoid unexpected behaviour.
The scripts are developed with clean code mainly for modern browsers that nativelly support HTML5. When using polyfills, IE8-IE9 will thank you.
You can make a custom build of bootstrap-native, including only the modules you need, by using the build.js
script.
$ node build.js --help
node build.js [--minify] [--ignore=<modules>...|--only=<modules>...]
Options:
--minify, -m Minify output [boolean] [default: false]
--ignore, -i Omit the given module(s) from the bundle [array]
--only Only include the given module(s) in the bundle [array]
--help Show help [boolean]
Running without --ignore or --only will compile all the modules.
Writes to stdout
*nix users can run ./build.js
as well as node build.js
.
