Bootstrap : TypeError: $(...).modal is not a function

Use this. It will work. I have used bootstrap 3.3.5 and jquery 1.11.3

$('document').ready(function() {
  $('#btnTest').click(function() {
    $('#dummyModal').modal('show');
  });
});
body {
  background-color: #eee;
  padding-top: 40px;
  padding-bottom: 40px;
}

  <div class="container">
    <button id="btnTest" class="btn btn-default">Show Modal</button>
    <div id="dummyModal" role="dialog" class="modal fade">

          <div class="modal-body">

  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>

</html>

I was getting the same error because of jquery CDN (<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>) was added two times in the HTML head.


I had also faced same error when i was trying to call bootstrap modal from jquery. But this happens because we are using bootstrap modal and for this we need to attach one cdn bootstrap.min.js which is

<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Hope this will help as I missed that when i was trying to call bootstrap modal from jQuery using

$('#button').on('click',function(){ $('#myModal').modal(); });

myModal is the id of Bootstrap modal and you have to give a click event to a button when you call click that button a pop up modal will be displayed.
