Using Bootstrap in Joomla 4

Joomla 4 introduces a modular approach for interactive components

What is a modular approach?
The functionality is broken down into individual components, files. There is no one file approach as it was with Bootstrap in Joomla 3. This was done for efficiency and performance gains (send only the code that is needed instead of delivering everything in case some page will need so component).

How to deal with Interactive components

Load what you need per case! There are helper functions that will help you achieve this and, it is dead easy just call the function with the appropriate arguments.

For accessibility we need to add a caption to every table in the admin

For example

Articles

	<caption>Articles</caption>
		<thead>
		etc etc

But we also need to get the current sort setting and possibly filters (if set)

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#understandable

Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.

Guideline 3.1 Readable

Make text content readable and understandable.

Word choice: use the simplest word that conveys your meaning. [1] Prefer the short word to the long. [2]

TEXT IN CAPS WILL BE LOCALISED

<nav role="navigation" aria-label="PAGENAVIGATION">
	<ul class="pagination-list">
		<li class="disabled">
			<a>
				<span class="icon-first" aria-hidden="true"></span>
			</a>

	#!/bin/bash

	# --- CONFIGURATION ---
	JOOMLA_API="https://<INSERT_DOMAIN>/api/index.php/v1/content/articles"
	JOOMLA_TOKEN="<INSERT_API_TOKEN>"
	CATID=24 # Change to your Joomla category ID

	if [ ! -f all-contributors.csv ]; then
	echo "all-contributors.csv not found in current directory."
	exit 1

	#!/bin/bash
	# github_realname.sh (no jq version)

	GITHUB_TOKEN="insert_your_github_token_here"
	REPO="insert_your_repo_here"
	PAGES=10 # Increase if you expect more than 1000 contributors

	echo '"login","name","avatar_url","html_url","contributions"' > all-contributors.csv

	for page in $(seq 1 $PAGES); do

	import argparse
	import getpass
	import sys

	import mysql.connector


	class AssetsFixer:

	cols = ["id", "parent_id", "level", "lft", "rgt"]
