Introduction

Have you ever faced the challenge of trying to implement multiple Bootstrap modals on the same webpage, only to end up confused about why one of them isn't working? This is a common issue many developers encounter when dealing with multiple triggers for modal components. In this guide, we will explore a streamlined solution to this problem and improve your understanding of Bootstrap modals.

The Problem

In our example, we had two separate modals: one for playing a YouTube video and another for playing an audio file from SoundCloud. Despite both modals being well-structured, the SoundCloud modal wasn't being triggered at all. Confusion often arises from the necessity of managing multiple modals, especially when they are similar in nature.

With both links set to trigger corresponding modals, you'd expect functionality to work perfectly. However, managing the JavaScript for these modals can quickly become convoluted and cumbersome.

The Solution: A More Efficient Approach

You actually do not need separate modals for different types of media. We can simplify our solution with a single modal that dynamically updates based on which trigger was activated. Below you will find a refactored code that illustrates this improvement.

Creating a Unified Modal

HTML Structure: Use a single modal for both video and audio content:

Conclusion

By consolidating multiple modals into one that dynamically adjusts based on user interaction, you not only simplify your code but also improve performance and maintainability. This approach results in cleaner code and a better user experience overall.
