+| `hide.bs.modal` | This event is fired immediately when the `hide` instance method has been called. Can be prevented by calling `event.preventDefault()`. See [JavaScript events documentation]({{< docsref "/getting-started/javascript#events" >}}) for more details on event prevention. |
 | `hidden.bs.modal` | This event is fired when the modal has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). |
 | `hidePrevented.bs.modal` | This event is fired when the modal is shown, its backdrop is `static` and a click outside of the modal is performed. The event is also fired when the escape key is pressed and the `keyboard` option is set to `false`. |
 | `show.bs.modal` | This event fires immediately when the `show` instance method is called. If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the `relatedTarget` property of the event. |
