B5 - modal not open on $('#myModal').show();

I have been able to verify that, if there is no other problem, by calling the function $ ('# myModal').show(); it does not show the modal, and one of the things that happens is that it does not add the class “show” so it stays in opacity 0.

I could not check if something similar happens in “hide”.

Thanks.

Was $('#myModal').show() ever supported? As far as I know official way to open a modal was $('#myModal').modal('show'). Since Bootstrap v5 is not using jQuery you have to use .show() method of the Modal object. But I’m not an expert.

You are right on this

Bootstrap v5 is not using jQuery you have to use .show() method of the Modal object.

not using jQuery (by default), but can yet used like you proposed too 😉

In general, the Bootstrap components can be used with the following ways

// native call
arg = 'any-selector | HTMLElement object | jQuery object'
new bootstrap.Modal(arg).method()

// After 5.0.2 will be possible to use it via the static accessor too
arg = HTMLElement object
Modal.getOrCreateInstance(arg).method()

// JQuery call
arg = configuration object | method name
$('selector').modal(arg).
