Will there be both a jQuery and a non-jQuery version? If you're using libraries that require jQuery, you can use the jQuery version, and if not, the non-jQuery one.

We will have only one release without jQuery but if we detect jQuery you'll be able to use Bootstrap's plugin as before 👍

If you are interested in Vanilla JS versions of tooltip, popover, and scrollspy, We have versions that we use in Bootstrap-Vue v1.0.0.beta.7 (see in action at docs)

• tooltip.js Class https://github.com/bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue/blob/dev/lib/classes/tooltip.js
• popover.js Class https://github.com/bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue/blob/dev/lib/classes/tooltip.js
• scrollspy (awaiting a re-write into ES6 class format) https://github.com/bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue/blob/dev/lib/directives/scrollspy.js

We have a few extra features added to Tooltips and popovers (such as a new blur leave event... i.e. trigger='click blur', and auto appending tooltips/popover into modal... which is pending in PR bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue#1024)

PR bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue#1024 also includes much of the regular modal.js functionality in Vanilla JS format (although tweaked for use with Vue.js)

thanks @tmorehouse we will take a look 👍

@Johann-S no problem. There are only a few Vue.js centric items in the tooltip/popover classes (such as event emitting)

Boostrap-Vue is quite interested in the jQuery free version of some of the plugins, as we might be able to direclty import some of these modues (or the classes), to replace some of our code.

We have just finished porting ScrollSpy over to vanilla js (with some helper dom functions we have created).

If you like, I could see if I can port our vanilla version to this branch as a PR (the main things to change would be the event signatures)

Sure @tmorehouse this branch is open to everyone who wants to help us 👍

OK, I ill try porting over in the next few days.

@alekitto it seems we have issue on IE with your last commit see : https://saucelabs.com/beta/tests/af6abf5c5275433080920e7f34a234cc/commands#12 and https://travis-ci.org/twbs/bootstrap/jobs/276457805#L718

@alekitto it's still failed on Edge see :

• https://saucelabs.com/jobs/03afada422c7448d84ea067dee18906d
• https://travis-ci.org/twbs/bootstrap/jobs/276838570#L718-L721

@Johann-S It seems that MSEdge resets the defaultPrevented flag upon dispatchEvent, so when the event is re-dispatched after being passed into the jQuery event system the flag is set to false. Now I'm currently working on it..

Boom! Awesome work! 🎉
Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Thanks to everyone!

I hope we didn't break a lot of things, we tried our best. That being said, please try the master branch and feel free to provide any doc tweaks or bugfixes.

We'll make a new issue with the remaining TODO tomorrow.

Special thanks to @alekitto which helped me a lot to rewrite our plugins 👍

Woohoo, well done y'all! <3

Nice job!
Finally we will be able to completely remove jQuery from our projects 👏

Is this going to v5?

Finally...waiting for it since very long. Thanks a lot everyone.

Congratulations, great job. I'm doing tests and I see that the branch "v5-dev-jo-eslint-airbnb" directly import plugins individually of v5-dev-jo-eslint-airbnb/src/js/ works without jquery in v4-dev, the question is if this is going to join the master. If this will only be available in v5, it is safe to copy the javascript files to v4.

Can't wait. Thank you Bootstrap team! 😄

Is it safe to use this 4.3.1 without jQuery in production? Or better to wait.

Sorry if it's an idiot question, I just came on this PR discussion, and accordingly to:
https://deploy-preview-23586--twbs-bootstrap.netlify.com/

We can use it already! No more jquery requirement

From what I have read, Bootstrap without jQuery has been pushed to v5, so you will need to wait until it launches. Seems that v4 will still use jQuery.

v5 is not scheduled, but seeing by the PRs, it may come this year at best as long there is constant work on it.

You shouldn't use something which is in development on production, however dangerous it might be.

That being said, you can always experiment with the master branch. Just keep in mind, it's not done yet.
