[javascript] How can I trigger a Bootstrap modal programmatically?

I wanted to do this the angular (2/4) way, here is what I did:

<div [class.show]="visible" [class.in]="visible" class="modal fade" id="confirm-dialog-modal" role="dialog">
..
</div>`

Important things to note:

  • visible is a variable (boolean) in the component which governs modal's visibility.
  • show and in are bootstrap classes.

An example component & html

Component

@ViewChild('rsvpModal', { static: false }) rsvpModal: ElementRef;
..
@HostListener('document:keydown.escape', ['$event'])
  onEscapeKey(event: KeyboardEvent) {
    this.hideRsvpModal();
  }
..
  hideRsvpModal(event?: Event) {
    if (!event || (event.target as Element).classList.contains('modal')) {
      this.renderer.setStyle(this.rsvpModal.nativeElement, 'display', 'none');
      this.renderer.removeClass(this.rsvpModal.nativeElement, 'show');
      this.renderer.addClass(document.body, 'modal-open');
    }
  }
  showRsvpModal() {
    this.renderer.setStyle(this.rsvpModal.nativeElement, 'display', 'block');
    this.renderer.addClass(this.rsvpModal.nativeElement, 'show');
    this.renderer.removeClass(document.body, 'modal-open');
  }
