I'm very new to reactjs. There is a third-party library called react-bootstrap that I want to use in my project. I installed it via yarn and when I want to use it's components, nothing happens! For example:
import { Button } from 'react-bootstrap'
<Button variant="success">Sign In</Button>
has no effect on a button. In elements I can see that the class assigned:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Sign In</button>
but there isn't any effect in button!! What should I do?
If you need any clarification, simply ask for it. Thank you!
You need to add bootstrap.css, either by adding link in index.html
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"
integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T"
crossorigin="anonymous"
/>
or by importing in index.js file after installing bootstrap using yarn / npm.
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
Demo
so I'm currently working on a project written in Flask which I added Bootstrap to. I have recently started adding some react components and I would like to have them look like the other bootstrapped components. Here is some of my code:
This is where I've included my bootstrap.js files and react.js file
<script src="/static/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="/static/js/build/react.js"></script>
<script src="/static/js/build/JSXTransformer.js"></script>
<script src="/static/js/react-bootstrap-bower/react-bootstrap.js"></script>
This html normally is rendered by bootstrap as wonderful little pager icons, but not in react:
return (
<div>
<nav>
<ul className="pagination pagination-lg">
<li>
<a href="#" aria-label="Previous">
<span aria-hidden="true">«</span>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" aria-label="Next">
<span aria-hidden="true">»</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I understand I didn't put the full return, the return isn't the issue at hand, however, its the styling. I tried adding in a Pager element with the following
var Pager = ReactBootstrap.Pager;
...
//inside some html return
<Pager></Pager>
but I get the response first that ReactBootstrap is not defined. Yet I read that the ReactBootstrap global is created automatically when you include the js file. The other response is that Pager doesn't exist (obviously since ReactBootstrap was unable to return it).
So my question is, can I simply return html without the data-reactid info or somehow have it rendered by bootstrap without needing reactBootstrap? or do is there something I'm missing from my files to use reactBootstrap. Thanks in advance for the help!
I tried to reproduce it in a jsbin, but ReactBootstrap.Pager is a component, and it renders with the correct styles.
You're not loading things correctly.
I'm building an app in Angular JS and Bootstrap.

Enter some details and look at the results. There is a dismissable alert on the results page that is not being dismissed when the cross is clicked on.
I basically copied the code from http://getbootstrap.com/components/#alerts-dismissable
<div class="alert alert-info alert-dismissable">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-info-sign"></span> This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life. The most important number that will be discussed here is your Life Path number. The Life Path describes the nature of this journey through life.
</div>
Anyone know why it isn't being dismissed on my site?
You have only included the Bootstrap css, but for the dismissable functionality (and lots of other functionality in Bootstrap) you also need to include the js file.
You have to add jquery.js and bootstrap.js
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

I am trying to use the Bootstrap tooltip in an app of mine. My app is using AngularJS Currently, I have the following:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"
title="Tooltip on left">
Tooltip on left
</button>
I think I need to use
$("[data-toggle=tooltip]").tooltip();
However, I'm not sure. Even when I add the line above though, my code doesn't work. I'm trying to avoid using UI bootstrap as it has more than I need. However, if I had to include just the tooltip piece, I'd be open to that. Yet, I can't figure out how to do that.
Can someone show me how to get the Bootstrap Tooltip working with AngularJS?
In order to get the tooltips to work in the first place, you have to initialize them in your code. Ignoring AngularJS for a second, this is how you would get the tooltips to work in jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-toggle=tooltip]').hover(function(){
// on mouseenter
$(this).tooltip('show');
}, function(){
// on mouseleave
$(this).tooltip('hide');
});
});
This will also work in an AngularJS app so long as it's not content rendered by Angular (eg: ng-repeat). In that case, you need to write a directive to handle this. Here's a simple directive that worked for me:
app.directive('tooltip', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs){
element.hover(function(){
// on mouseenter
element.tooltip('show');
}, function(){
// on mouseleave
element.tooltip('hide');
});
}
};
});
Then all you have to do is include the "tooltip" attribute on the element you want the tooltip to appear on:
<a href="#0" title="My Tooltip!" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" tooltip>My Tooltip Link</a>
The best solution I've been able to come up with is to include an "onmouseenter" attribute on your element like this:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-placement="left"
title="Tooltip on left"
onmouseenter="$(this).tooltip('show')">
</button>
Simple Answer - using UI Bootstrap (ui.bootstrap.tooltip)
There seem to be a bunch of very complex answers to this question. Here's what worked for me.
Install UI Bootstrap - $ bower install angular-bootstrap
Inject UI Bootstrap as a dependency - angular.module('myModule', ['ui.bootstrap']);
Use the uib-tooltip directive in your html.
<button class="btn btn-default"
type="button"
uib-tooltip="I'm a tooltip!">
I'm a button!
</button>
If you're building an Angular app, you can use jQuery, but there is a lot of good reasons to try to avoid it in favor of more angular driven paradigms. You can continue to use the styles provided by bootstrap, but replace the jQuery plugins with native angular by using UI Bootstrap
Include the Boostrap CSS files, Angular.js, and ui.Bootstrap.js:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.2.20/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.11.0.js"></script>
Make sure you've injected ui.bootstrap when you create your module like this:
var app = angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap']);
Then you can use angular directives instead of data attributes picked up by jQuery:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
title="Tooltip on left" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"
tooltip="Tooltip on left" tooltip-placement="left" >
Tooltip on left
</button>
Demo in Plunker
Avoiding UI Bootstrap
jQuery.min.js (94kb) + Bootstrap.min.js (32kb) is also giving you more than you need, and much more than ui-bootstrap.min.js (41kb).
And time spent downloading the modules is only one aspect of performance.
If you really wanted to only load the modules you needed, you can "Create a Build" and choose tooltips from the Bootstrap-UI website. Or you can explore the source code for tooltips and pick out what you need.
Here a minified custom build with just the tooltips and templates (6kb)
Have you included the Bootstrap JS and jQuery?
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
If you don't already load those, then Angular UI (http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/) may not be much overhead. I use that with my Angular app, and it has a Tooltip directive. Try using tooltip="tiptext"
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"
title="Tooltip on left"
tooltip="This is a Bootstrap tooltip"
tooltip-placement="left" >
Tooltip on left
</button>
I wrote a simple Angular Directive that's been working well for us.
Here's a demo: http://jsbin.com/tesido/edit?html,js,output
Directive (for Bootstrap 3):
// registers native Twitter Bootstrap 3 tooltips
app.directive('bootstrapTooltip', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
attrs.$observe('title',function(title){
// Destroy any existing tooltips (otherwise new ones won't get initialized)
element.tooltip('destroy');
// Only initialize the tooltip if there's text (prevents empty tooltips)
if (jQuery.trim(title)) element.tooltip();
})
element.on('$destroy', function() {
element.tooltip('destroy');
delete attrs.$$observers['title'];
});
}
});
Note: If you're using Bootstrap 4, on lines 6 & 11 above you'll need to replace tooltip('destroy') with tooltip('dispose') (Thanks to user1191559 for this upadate)
Simply add bootstrap-tooltip as an attribute to any element with a title. Angular will monitor for changes to the title but otherwise pass the tooltip handling over to Bootstrap.
This also allows you to use any of the native Bootstrap Tooltip Options as data- attributes in the normal Bootstrap way.
Markup:
<div bootstrap-tooltip data-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left">
Tooltip on left
</div>
Clearly this doesn't have all the elaborate bindings & advanced integration that AngularStrap and UI Bootstrap offer, but it's a good solution if you're already using Bootstrap's JS in your Angular app and you just need a basic tooltip bridge across your entire app without modifying controllers or managing mouse events.
You can use selector option for dynamic single page applications:
jQuery(function($) {
$(document).tooltip({
selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'
});
});
if a selector is provided, tooltip objects will be delegated to the
specified targets. In practice, this is used to enable dynamic HTML
content to have tooltips added.
You can create a simple directive like this:
angular.module('myApp',[])
.directive('myTooltip', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element){
element.tooltip();
}
}
});
Then, add your custom directive where is necessary:
<button my-tooltip></button>
You can do this with AngularStrap which
is a set of native directives that enables seamless integration of Bootstrap 3.0+ into your AngularJS 1.2+ app."
You can inject the entire library like this:
var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['mgcrea.ngStrap']);
Or only pull in the tooltip feature like this:
var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['mgcrea.ngStrap.tooltip']);
Demo in Stack Snippets
var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['mgcrea.ngStrap']);

Please remember one thing if you want to use bootstrap tooltip in angularjs is order of your scripts if you are using jquery-ui as well, it should be:
jQuery
jQuery UI
Bootstap
It is tried and tested
Only read this if you are assigning tooltips dynamically
i.e. <div tooltip={{ obj.somePropertyThatMayChange }} ...></div>
I had an issue with dynamic tooltips that were not always updating with the view. For example, I was doing something like this:
This didn't work consistently
<div ng-repeat="person in people">
<span data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="{{ person.tooltip }}">
{{ person.name }}
</span>
</div>
And activating it as so:
$timeout(function() {
$(document).tooltip({ selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'});
}, 1500)
However, as my people array would change my tooltips wouldn't always update. I tried every fix in this thread and others with no luck. The glitch seemed to only be happening around 5% of the time, and was nearly impossible to repeat.
Unfortunately, these tooltips are mission critical for my project, and showing an incorrect tooltip could be very bad.
What seemed to be the issue
Bootstrap was copying the value of the title property to a new attribute, data-original-title and removing the title property (sometimes) when I would activate the toooltips. However, when my title={{ person.tooltip }} would change the new value would not always be updated into the property data-original-title. I tried deactivating the tooltips and reactivating them, destroying them, binding to this property directly... everything. However each of these either didn't work or created new issues; such as the title and data-original-title attributes both being removed and un-bound from my object.
What did work
Perhaps the most ugly code I've ever pushed, but it solved this small but substantial problem for me. I run this code each time the tooltip is update with new data:
$timeout(function() {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').each(function(index) {
// sometimes the title is blank for no apparent reason. don't override in these cases.
if ($(this).attr("title").length > 0) {
$( this ).attr("data-original-title", $(this).attr("title"));
}
});
$timeout(function() {
// finally, activate the tooltips
$(document).tooltip({ selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'});
}, 500);
}, 1500);
What's happening here in essence is:
Wait some time (1500 ms) for the digest cycle to complete, and the titles to be updated.
If there's a title property that is not empty (i.e. it has changed), copy it to the data-original-title property so it will be picked up by Bootstrap's toolips.
Reactivate the tooltips
Hope this long answer helps someone who may have been struggling as I was.
Try the Tooltip (ui.bootstrap.tooltip). See Angular directives for Bootstrap
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
tooltip-placement="bottom" uib-tooltip="tooltip message">Test</button>
It is recommended to avoid JavaScript code on the top of AngularJS
for getting tooltips to refresh when the model changes, i simply use data-original-title instead of title.
e.g.
<i class="fa fa-gift" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" data-original-title={{getGiftMessage(gift)}} ></i>
note that i'm initializing use of tooltips like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("body").tooltip({ selector: '[data-toggle=tooltip]' });
})
</script>
versions:
AngularJS 1.4.10
bootstrap 3.1.1
jquery: 1.11.0
AngularStrap doesn't work in IE8 with angularjs version 1.2.9 so not use this if your application needs to support IE8
impproving #aStewartDesign answer:
.directive('tooltip', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs){
element.hover(function(){
element.tooltip('show');
}, function(){
element.tooltip('hide');
});
}
};
});
There's no need for jquery, its a late anwser but I figured since is the top voted one, I should point out this.
install the dependencies:
npm install jquery --save
npm install tether --save
npm install bootstrap#version --save;
next, add scripts in your angular-cli.json
"scripts": [
"../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"../node_modules/tether/dist/js/tether.js",
"../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js",
"script.js"
]
then, create a script.js
$("[data-toggle=tooltip]").tooltip();
now restart your server.
Because of the tooltip function, you have to tell angularJS that you are using jQuery.
This is your directive:
myApp.directive('tooltip', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
element.on('mouseenter', function () {
jQuery.noConflict();
(function ($) {
$(element[0]).tooltip('show');
})(jQuery);
});
}
};
});
and this is how to use the directive :
<a href="#" title="ToolTip!" data-toggle="tooltip" tooltip></a>
