How to open a Bootstrap 4 modal dialog using jQuery

How is a Bootstrap 4 modal dialog opened using jQuery?

I am able to open a modal with a button like the following, which opens a dialog with the following div:

<input type="button" 
       name="PurchaseOrderButton" 
       value="Find" 
       class="btn btn-primary" 
       data-toggle="modal"
       data-target="#id-FindModal" 
       id="id-FindBtn" 
       />

<div class="modal" id="id-FindModal">

I need to run a JavaScript function that will perform some steps, then load the modal. I attempted it with the following statement, but it does not work:

$('#id-FindModal').modal('show');
Solution

  • Your call to show the modal is fine, more than likely your Bootstrap library or your jQuery library is not loaded. Ensure that they are..

    Here is a working example to confirm your method:

    runCommands()


function runCommands() {
  // run commands
  $('#id-findModal').modal()
}

      <div class="modal-body">
