What is the usage of JavaScript in bootstrap?

Question

I am learning bootstrap. As I can see, it is pretty straight forward to use it. I tried to use the framework without including any reference to the JavaScript files and it is working just fine (at basic level).

So my question is - can I just ignore the JavaScript files and use only the css-based grid system, or the css depends on JavaScript in some way and I just don't face it now.

Thank you!

Answer 1

YES, If you do not need any javascript related component (modal,tab etc.) , Also please remember you could customize entire framework with link below:

Just check what you want and download.

Answer 2

As long as you don't need anything from this page you can skip loading the javascript asset.
