I have this link to open a bootstrap modal, but I need to pass data attribute "data-val". I tried with javascript but I didn't get it. Can you please help me?

You can just set up the modal

<div  class="modal fade" id="setTypeModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

Then call it with 

 $('#setTypeModal').modal('show');

You can then access the elements in the modal using Jquery etc.

and finally do some more work with a click event and close the modal with 

 $('#setTypeModal').modal('hide');

You can listen for show.bs.modal event on modal and get the clicked element available as relatedTarget property of the event. Check Bootstrap modal documentation for further reference.

Here is a working example using Bootstrap v4.

$('#my-modal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
  var myVal = $(event.relatedTarget).data('val');
  $(this).find(".modal-body").text(myVal);
});

<a href="#" class="my_link" data-val="user1" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#my-modal">Open Modal</a>

<div class="modal fade" id="my-modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="my-modal" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">My Modal</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>

      <div class="modal-body">
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
