Standardize header, footer, and content language
Created by: vmike245
Currently there is not a standard with how bootstrap refers to the header, footer, and content of an element. There are at least 4 items which fall into this category:
- Tooltips
- Content:
tooltip-inner
- Content:
- Modals
- Header:
modal-header - Content:
modal-body - Footer:
modal-footer
- Header:
- Card
- Header:
card-header - Content:
card-block - Footer:
card-footer
- Header:
- Popover
- Header:
popover-title - Content:
popover-content
- Header:
For the most part the header and footer format is the same, but the content section seems to be on a per component basis. I would suggest standardizing the language around these sections to improve discoverability. If a user who has used cards before tries to use a modal, the first things they will try is modal-header, modal-block, modal-footer since that is what they used for card. Currently only 2 out of 3 of those will work. I think everyone would agree that a discoverable API is a very important part of a successful service and drastically improves ease of use.
