Documentation Question Regarding "Plugins can be included individually (using Bootstrap’s individual js/dist/*.js)"

[wyattnolen]

I was hoping to customize the JS I use to exclude javascript for things like Carousel, maybe Scrollspy, and other features I know I wont need. The documentation seems to indicate this possibility, but when downloading bootstrap, I do not see the js/dist directory. Am I just misunderstanding the documentation here?

"Plugins can be included individually (using Bootstrap’s individual js/dist/*.js), or all at once using bootstrap.js or the minified bootstrap.min.js (don’t include both)."

Hello @wyattnolen

How do you install Bootstrap?

With NPM, for instance, you can:

ju ߷ /tmp ➤ npm i bootstrap@latest
ju ߷ /tmp ➤ ls node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/*.js                                                    
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/alert.js           node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/offcanvas.js
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/base-component.js  node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/popover.js
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/button.js          node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/scrollspy.js
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/carousel.js        node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/tab.js
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/collapse.js        node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/toast.js
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/dropdown.js        node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/tooltip.js
node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/modal.js

For this use case, no it wouldn't be NPM. Client does everything in their platform, no build process. Was hoping to download the files from the bootstrap website.

OK, so you should have the same files by downloading the sources from https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/getting-started/download/#source-files, in the bootstrap-5.3.3/js/dist/ directory.

Yes, that is perfect, thank you!
