Bootstrap Toggle is an exclusive component of Saul HTML Pro that provides a simple build-in Javascript solution to toggle an element's state via HTML attribute
without the need to writing any custom or additional Javascript code. Use cases of this component can be aside or sidebar with minimize toggle support.
Usage
Toggle's script bundles are globally included in all pages.
Toggle uses HTML attributes to define the toggle configuration. Here are the references for each below
HTML Attribute references
Name
Type
Description
data-kt-toggle
mandatory
Enables the element as a toggle.
data-kt-toggle-state
mandatory
A class to add into the toggle element. Accepts any string value. For example, if data-kt-toggle-state="active" is set, then the class active will be added or removed into the toggle element's class on click.
data-kt-toggle-name
mandatory
Defines the custom HTML attrbute name that will be added into the target element defined in data-kt-toggle-target. Accepts a string value without spaces.
data-kt-toggle-target
mandatory
Defines the target element to add or remove a custom HTML attribute when Toggle is clicked. The custom HTML attribute is created by using the value added in data-kt-toggle-name. For example, if we add in data-kt-toggle-name="docs-basic-example" and data-kt-toggle-target="#kt_toggle_example_basic", when the button is clicked, data-kt-docs-basic-example="on" will be added into the targeted element.
This additional HTML attribute can then be used for any custom Javascript hooks as required.
