Documentation Error? (.modal is not a function error)

See original GitHub issue

I’m attempting to call (in this case the console):

$('#mymodal').modal('open')

This fails, but when I try the following I get expected behaviour: $('#mymodal').openModal()

The problem (I think) is that the documentation claims the .modal(‘open’) method is the way to do it. http://materializecss.com/modals.html

Does the documentation need updating?
