Step 1: Install Bootstrap from CDN
Bootstrap CDN is used to deliver cached version of Bootstrap code to your projects
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Step 2: How to Create Basic Bootstrap Login Signup Modal
The below code shows how to create a basic bootstrap modal form with sample content in it
<!-- Modal -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>Welcome to W3lessons!</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Next we need to trigger the bootstrap modal popup using a button or anchor link
The Following code is used to trigger the Modal with anchor link
<a href="#" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" class="list-group-item">Open Bootstrap Modal</a>
If you want to trigger the modal via jQuery – use the following code
$('#myModal').modal();
There are three important data attributes to be considered to design a Bootstrap Modal Popup
- data-toggle=”modal” – used to open the modal popup
- data-target=”#myModal” – used to tell which modal popup to be opened by giving ID of the Modal
- data-dismiss=”modal” – used to tell which modal popup to be closed
Based on the above techniques and bootstrap grid systems, I have created 4 different Bootstrap Modal forms
- Contact Form
- Login/Sign Up Form
- Forgot Password Form
- Credit Card Payment Form
I have used these modal popups in my many projects. Feel free to download and use it where-ever you need.
