Bootprompt - Bootstrap powered alert, confirm and flexible dialog boxes

Please see here for full usage instructions.

Bootprompt is a fork of Nick Payne's Bootbox. In 2018-2019 people began asking for a release of Bootbox compatible with Bootstrap 4. Tieson Trowbridge put together a version 5 of Bootbox that worked with Bootstrap 4. Unfortunately, Tieson did not have release powers and Nick was no longer active on Github. So it seemed that a formal release of Bootbox 5 would never happen. Louis-Dominique Dubeau, after consultation with Tieson, decided to fork the project, and Bootprompt was born.

Versioning

Bootprompt's first version is 5 because Bootbox got up to version 4 before Bootprompt was forked from it. (A version 5 of Bootbox was released after this project was forked, unfortunately.) If we had restarted version numbering from 1, we would have had to rename tags, etc. Too much trouble.

Do note that this project does not provide support for any version prior to 5.

Migrating from Bootbox

If you are migrating from Bootbox, you should read this document which highlights the major differences.

Support

Bootprompt is developed by volunteers. Given our limited resources, we have to limit the scope of what we formally support.

JavaScript packages

Bootprompt supports:

  • Bootstrap 4
  • Bootstrap 3.4.x
  • The same range of jQuery versions as supported by Bootstrap 4.

Browsers

Bootprompt supports the same range of browsers as Bootstrap 4. Note that Bootstrap 4 dropped support from some old browsers that Bootstrap 3 supported. For instance, IE 9.

Note that it may be necessary to install polyfills on old browsers in order to get Bootprompt to run. Bootprompt 6 adds a promise-based API, which requires that Promise be available at run time.

Browser Testing

Browser Stack

Bootprompt is tested on various browsers using BrowserStack. BrowserStack provides this service for free under their program for supporting open-source software.
