Javascript for Bootstrap

Bring Bootstrap's components to life with new, custom plugins that work with jQuery and Ender.

← Back to Bootstrap home

This plugin is for adding the scrollspy (auto updating nav) interaction to the bootstrap topbar.

Download

Using bootstrap-scrollspy.js

$('#topbar').scrollSpy()

Markup

To easily add scrollspy behavior to your nav, just add the data-scrollspy attribute to the .topbar.

<div class="topbar" data-scrollspy="scrollspy" >...</div>

Methods

$().scrollSpy()

Auto activates navigation buttons by users scroll position.

$('body > .topbar').scrollSpy()

Notice Topbar anchor tags must have resolvable id targets. For example, a <a href="#home">home</a> must correspond to something in the dom like <div id="home"></div>.

.scrollSpy('refresh')

The scrollspy caches nav buttons and section coordinates for performance. If you need to update this cache (likely if you have dynamic content) just call this refresh method. If you used the data attribute to define your scrollspy, just call refresh on the body.

$('body').scrollSpy('refresh')

Demo

Checkout the the topbar navigation on this page.

This plugin offers additional functionality for managing button state.

Download

Using bootstrap-buttons.js

$('.tabs').button()

Methods

$().button('toggle')

Toggles push state. Gives btn the look that it's been activated.

Notice You can enable auto toggling of a button by using the data-toggle attribute.

<button class="btn" data-toggle="toggle" >...</button>

$().button('loading')

Sets button state to loading - disables button and swaps text to loading text. Loading text should be defined on the button element using the data attribute data-loading-text.

<button class="btn" data-loading-text="loading stuff..." >...</button>

$().button('reset')

Resets button state - swaps text to original text.

$().button(string)

Resets button state - swaps text to any data defined text state.

<button class="btn" data-complete-text="finished!" >...</button>
<script>
  $('.btn').button('complete')
</scrip>

Demo

This plugin adds quick, dynamic tab and pill functionality.

Download

Using bootstrap-tabs.js

$('.tabs').tabs()

Markup

You can activate a tab or pill navigation without writing any javascript by simply giving them a data-tabs or data-pills attribute.

 <ul class="tabs" data-tabs="tabs" >...</ul>

Methods

$().tabs or $().pills

Activates tab and pill functionality for a given container. Tab links should reference id's in the document.

<ul class="tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
</ul>

<div class="pill-content">
  <div class="active" id="home">...</div>
  <div id="profile">...</div>
  <div id="messages">...</div>
  <div id="settings">...</div>
</div>

<script>
  $(function () {
    $('.tabs').tabs()
  })
</script>
