Bootstrap modal close method Bootstrap .modal(“hide”) method

You can close a modal programmatically using JavaScript in Bootstrap. Following are the steps:

1. Use the Bootstrap’s Modal Method

You need to use the .modal(‘hide’) method to close the modal popup.

Example:

$('#myModal').modal('hide');

2. Use the DOM API (hide method)

var modalElement = document.getElementById('myModal');
var modal = bootstrap.Modal.getInstance(modalElement);
modal.hide();

3. Automatically Closing via Data Attributes

You can close or hide a modal by including a button or link with the <code>data-bs-dismiss=”modal”</code> attribute inside the modal of bootstrap:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>

4. Closing a Modal on a Custom Trigger

If you want to close or hide the modal on a custom event , you can trigger the above methods in your JavaScript:

document.getElementById('submitBtn').addEventListener('click', function() {
var modalElement = document.getElementById('myModal');
var modal = bootstrap.Modal.getInstance(modalElement);
modal.hide();
});

<h3>Full Example</h3>
<b>HTML</b>

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title of Example</h5>
<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
Modal content here...
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close this modal</button>
<button type="button" id="submitBtn" class="btn btn-primary">Submit Form</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<b>JavaScript</b>

document.getElementById('submitBtn').addEventListener('click', function() {
var modalElement = document.getElementById('myModal');
var modal = bootstrap.Modal.getInstance(modalElement);
modal.hide();
});

This ensures the modal closes programmatically as needed.
