Vue 3 Plugin for Bootstrap 5

BETA BETA BETA BETA BETA BETA BETA

This plugin is designed to add directives to Vue 3 that can be used to create and control Bootstrap 5 JavaScript objects.

This is not intended to be a Bootstrap-Vue component library, but rather a plugin to allow easier control of Bootstrap objects from Vue.

• This library has zero dependencies (you inject Bootstrap yourself).
• Supports Vue 3.x and Bootstrap 5.x

Install

npm install vue3-plugin-bootstrap5

In your main.js:

import { createVbPlugin } from 'vue3-plugin-bootstrap5'
import { Alert, Button, Carousel, Collapse, Dropdown, Modal,
  Offcanvas, Popover, ScrollSpy, Tab, Toast, Tooltip } from 'bootstrap'

let vbPlugin = createVbPlugin({ Alert, Button, Carousel, Collapse, Dropdown, Modal,
  Offcanvas, Popover, ScrollSpy, Tab, Toast, Tooltip })

app.use(vbPlugin)

See example main.js

Add v-vb-is:alert to your alert element.

Listen for events on your alert element with: @vb-close-bs-alert="someMethod" and @vb-closed-bs-alert="someMethod".

See AlertExamples.vue

Carousel

Add v-vb-is:carousel to your carousel element.

Listen for events on your carousel element with: @vb-slide-bs-carousel="someMethod" and vb-slide-bs-carousel="someMethod".

General

Bootstrap JavaScript Objects

When v-vb-is is added to an element, this plugin will assign the raw Bootstrap object(s) to $vb the property.

    <div v-vb-is:modal class="modal" ...>
        ...
    </div>

    // when `v-vb-is` is used on an element, add a ref (eg ref="exampleEl") then use $vb like this:
    this.$refs.exampleEl.$vb.modal.hide()

    // note, this is same as: bootstrap.Modal.getInstance(this.$refs.exampleEl).hide()

Events

Are added to an element using @vb-[eventName]="methodToCall"". Your method will be called by bootstrap when the event it triggered by Bootstrap.

<div ref="exampleModalEvents" 
     v-vb-is:modal 
     @vb-hidden-bs-modal="modalHiddenMethod">...</div>

Bootstrap events are supported (so long as @vb- is specified the same element as v-vb-is:). See bootstrap documentation for the full list for each component.
