Overview

Metronic exclusive components are written in Javascript without any jQuery dependency in order to make it easier to integrate with SPA frameworks such as Angular, React and Vue. However the Metronic HTML version stil uses jQuery as majority popular jQuery plugins are still on demand. During the build process the Javascript code from the source folder is minified and moved to the assets folder.

Components

The components folder in src/js/componentscontains Metronic exclusive components written in Javascript without any jQuery dependency. All components can be used by Angular, React and Vue versions.

Layout

The layout folder in src/js/layout/contains Javascript files that handle the Layout partials(Aside, Header, Footer, Subheader, etc).

Compilation

Metronic compiles layout, components(including the Bootstrap & custom components) Javascript code into the main bundle: dist/assets/js/scripts.bundle.js.
The custom Javascript code is compiled separately into CSS folder: dist/assets/js/custom
All 3rd-party plugins Javascript code are bundled into the plugins Javascript bundle file and globally included in all pages. dist/assets/plugins/global/plugins.bundle.js`.

Components Dynamic Initialization

All In-house and 3rd-party components defined in src/js/components/folder need to be initializated when the HTML elements are dynamically populated in DOM via AJAX:

// In-house components initialization
KTMenu.createInstances();
KTDrawer.createInstances();
KTScroll.createInstances();
KTScrolltop.createInstances();
KTSticky.createInstances();
KTDialer.createInstances();
KTImageInput.createInstances();
KTPasswordMeter.createInstances();
KTSwapper.createInstances();
KTToggle.createInstances();

Method	Type	Description
`KTMenu.createInstances()`	Mandatory	Menu
`KTDrawer.createInstances()`	Mandatory	Drawer
`KTScroll.createInstances()`	Mandatory	Scroll
`KTScrolltop.createInstances()`	Mandatory	Scrolltop
`KTSticky.createInstances()`	Mandatory	Sticky
`KTDialer.createInstances()`	Optional	Dialer
`KTImageInput.createInstances()`	Optional	Image Input
`KTPasswordMeter.createInstances()`	Optional	Password Meter
`KTSwapper.createInstances()`	Optional	Swapper
`KTToggle.createInstances()`	Optional	Toggle

Layout Dynamic Initialization

The Layout partials(e.g: Aside, Search, Toolbar, etc) need to be initializated(if defined) when the layout is populated dynamically in DOM via AJAX. Look for available layout classes in src/js/layout/folder.

// Boostrap & 3rd-party components initialization
KTApp.init();

// Layout partials initialization(if applicable)
KTLayoutAside.init();
KTLayoutSearch.init();
KTLayoutToolbar.init();

Method	Type	Description
`KTApp.init()`	Mandatory	Boostrap & 3rd-party components initialization defined in `src/js/layout/app.js` Bootstrap Tooltips Bootstrap Popovers Bootstrap Toasts Select2 Autosize CountUp Tiny Slider Smooth Scroll
`KTLayoutAside.init()`	Optional	Aside initialization defined in `src/js/layout/aside.js`
`KTLayoutSearch.init()`	Optional	Search initialization defined in `src/js/layout/search.js`
`KTLayoutToolbar.init()`	Optional	Toolbar initialization defined in `src/js/layout/toolbar.js`
