Bootstrap modal is not displayed

Question

I want to display a modal on button click, but the modal doesn't display.

I specified the modal as data-target for a button and I don't get anything and there are no errors on console either.

<button type="submit" data-toggle="modal" data- 
 target="#someModal">Test</button>
  <!-- Modal -->
 <div class="modal fade" id="someModal" role="dialog">
 <div class="modal-dialog">

  <div class="modal-content">
    <div class="modal-header">
      <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times; 
    </button>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      <p>Modal text</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data- 
      dismiss="modal">Close</button>
    </div>
  </div>

 </div>
 </div>

This code is in my component.html page.

Do yourself a favor, and use ng-bootstrap instead of jQuery. https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/modal/examples — JB Nizet, Jul 03 '19 at 14:17

You have some empty spaces after data- and before target. Just put them on the same line and it works. Same goes for data-dismiss for the close button. Also, I'd remove type="submit" since it's not required by the official docs: Modal - Bootstrap.

Here is the working code:

<button data-toggle="modal" data-target="#someModal">Test</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="someModal" role="dialog">
   <div class="modal-dialog">
     <div class="modal-content">
       <div class="modal-header">
         <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
       </div>
       <div class="modal-body">
         <p>Modal text</p>
       </div>
       <div class="modal-footer">
         <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
       </div>
     </div>
   </div>
</div>

does it works after removing those spaces without adding `jquery` – Nipun Tharuksha Jul 03 '19 at 14:44

@NipunTharuksha Boostrap requires jQuery to work. See [the docs](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/download/) – Diego Chinellato Jul 04 '19 at 13:45
I also removed that space but it didnt worked till I add `Jquery` – Nipun Tharuksha Jul 04 '19 at 13:49

@NipunTharuksha again, that's because Bootstrap requires jQuery to work. Without jQuery every Bootstrap component that uses jQuery (like modals) won't work. – Diego Chinellato Jul 04 '19 at 14:55

I think you have not added JQuery.So that I have your code by adding bootstrap JQuery and its working.

  <button type="submit" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#someModal" class="btn btn-danger">Test</button>
  <!-- Modal -->
 <div class="modal fade" id="someModal" role="dialog">
