Include accessible-menu-bootstrap-4 through import or bundled library in your project:

`js
import AccessibleMenu from "accessible-menu-bootstrap-4";
`

or

`html

`

Once you have accessible-menu-bootstrap-4 loaded, declare a new menu object.

menuElement is required for all menus. Unlike accessible-menu, accessible-menu-bootstrap-4 will automatically find dropdown menus since the classes .dropdown, .dropdown-menu, and .dropdown-item are included in the Bootstrap 4 framework.

`js
const menu = new AccessibleMenu.DisclosureMenu({
menuElement: document.querySelector("#example-menu"),
});
`

$3

Bundled versions of each menu are provided in the dist and individual exports are provided in the index.

There are also compiled ES Module versions if you don't want to use an iife!

$3

Bootstrap 4 has it's own implementation of expanding/collapsing menus using the data-toggle attribute on navbar togglers and dropdown toggles which would cause both accessible-menu-bootstrap-4 _and_ Bootstrap's own toggler to open/close menus at the same time. To resolve this issue, accessible-menu-bootstrap-4 removed the data-toggle attributes from menu toggles that it controls.

$3

This project isn't designed to work with other versions of Bootstrap other than v4, however you _could_ probably get it to work with Bootstrap 3 by customizing the selectors and open/close classes when declaring the menu.

You also _might_ be able to get this to work with Bootstrap 5, however v5 changed the data-toggle value on dropdowns to data-bs-toggle` which won't be handled by this project. A Bootstrap 5 specific project may be created if there is enough interest in it.
