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 here.

You can install this package by using either Bower or NPM.

$ npm install --save bootstrap.native
# Or
$ bower install --save bootstrap.native

bootstrap.native is compatible with the CommonJS/RequireJS spec (exporting itself to module.exports). It thus can fall back to adding its exports to the window object.

You can use the scripts either using a traditional script-tag like so:

<!-- Using a CDN -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/bootstrap.native/0.9.6/bootstrap-native.min.js"></script>
<!-- Using a local assets folder -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/bootstrap.native.min.js"></script>
<!-- Or using Bower? -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/bower_components/bootstrap.native/dist/bootstrap-native.min.js"></script>

But it's also possible to use any module loader that supports the RequireJS or CommonJS syntax. An example is RequireJS itself:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var bsn = require("bootstrap.native");
    // Create a button:
    var btn = new bsn.Button(...);
</script>

If you are working in a virtual browser environment, the properties of the returned exports are all functions, that expect both, a global window and a global document variable to exist before calling. An example case is during tests, where you may use NodeJS to run front-end tests. These usually will create a virtual Window and Document object. Once these exist, bootstrap.native will function properly.

An example of this would look like this:

var bsn = require("bootstrap.native");
var browser = require("mock-browser");
global.window = browser.createWindow();
global.document = browser.createDocument();

// Now it's safe to use bootstrap.native and expecting the properties to be the actual component classes.
var Button = btn.Button(); // Create the button class and return it.

var $btn = document.createElement("button");
var myButton = new Button(... $btn and options ...); // Create a button and do a test.

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 clone the repository, install gulp and run gulp --ignore component,... ex: gulp --ignore carousel,scrollspy
