Usage

Basic Progress Bar

<div class="progress" role="progressbar" aria-label="Basic example" 
     aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"
     data-bs-config='{"duration": 2000}'>
  <div class="progress-bar"></div>
</div>

Circular Progress Bar

<div class="progress circular" role="progressbar" aria-label="Circular progress"
     aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"
     data-bs-config='{"strokeWidth": 15, "animateInViewport": true}'>
  <div class="progress-bar bg-success">
    <div class="circle-background"></div>
    <div class="circle-progress"></div>
    <div class="progress-label">0%</div>
  </div>
</div>

RTL Support (Right-to-Left)

For RTL languages like Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian, simply wrap your progress bar in a container with dir="rtl":

<div dir="rtl">
  <!-- Circular Progress in RTL -->
  <div class="progress circular" role="progressbar" aria-label="تقدم دائري"
       aria-valuenow="65" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"
       data-bs-config='{"strokeWidth": 15, "duration": 2000}'>
    <div class="progress-bar bg-primary">
      <div class="circle-background"></div>
      <div class="circle-progress"></div>
      <div class="progress-label">٦٥٪</div>
    </div>
  </div>
  
  <!-- Standard Progress Bar in RTL -->
  <div class="progress" role="progressbar" aria-label="شريط التقدم"
       aria-valuenow="70" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"
       data-bs-config='{"duration": 1800}'>
    <div class="progress-bar bg-success"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Dynamic Creation

Progress bars added dynamically to the DOM after page load will be automatically initialized:

// Create a progress bar dynamically
const progressBar = document.createElement('div');
progressBar.className = 'progress';
progressBar.setAttribute('role', 'progressbar');
progressBar.setAttribute('aria-label', 'Dynamic progress');
progressBar.setAttribute('aria-valuenow', '60');
progressBar.setAttribute('aria-valuemin', '0');
progressBar.setAttribute('aria-valuemax', '100');

const bar = document.createElement('div');
bar.className = 'progress-bar bg-success';
bar.style.width = '0%';

progressBar.appendChild(bar);
document.body.appendChild(progressBar);
// No manual initialization needed - MutationObserver will detect and initialize it

Configuration Options

All progress components can be configured using the data-bs-config attribute with JSON:

JavaScript API

Working with progress bars programmatically:

// Create a new progress bar instance
const progressElement = document.querySelector('.progress');
const progressBar = new ProgressBar(progressElement);

// Set value without animation
progressBar.setValue(75);

// Animate to value (target percentage, optional duration)
progressBar.animate(90, 2000);

// Initialize to 0%
progressBar.initialize();

Accessibility Features

Bootstrap Progress Bar Extension are built with accessibility in mind:

• ARIA Support: All progress bars use proper ARIA attributes (role="progressbar", aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin, aria-valuemax, and aria-label)
• Reduced Motion: Automatically respects the user's prefers-reduced-motion browser setting, disabling animations for users who prefer reduced motion
• Text Labels: Circular progress bars include visible text labels showing the current progress percentage
• Color Contrast: All components maintain proper contrast ratios between background, foreground, and text elements
• RTL Support: Full support for right-to-left languages using the dir="rtl" attribute
• Responsive Design: Components adapt to different screen sizes for usability on mobile devices
