Dummy

Bootstrap 5 Dummy plugin

Dummy plugin creates placeholder content for accelerated building and testing your frontend templates.

Responsive Dummy plugin built with the latest Bootstrap 5. Plenty of implementation examples such as images, lists, tables, and much more.

Note: Currently, the plugin is only compatible with the basic MDB package imported in UMD format. More about import MDB formats.


Create Dummy component for an element by adding data-mdb-dummy-init attribute to it. Depending on the base element, different Dummies will be created. For most of the HTML tags default Dummy is Text.

To explicitly create specific Dummy add proper data-mdb- attribute to element with data-mdb-dummy-init attribute.

Text

Create Dummy Text by adding data-mdb-dummy-text to element. To create text with custom length add value of desired length to the attribute. Change text color with data-mdb-text-color attribute.

Implicitly generated text:
Revoted postgenial s
Explicitly generated text with 40 characters length:
Imprudently unexported shaksperian menac
Text with custom color:
Innutritious prejudg
<dl class="row">
  <dt class="col-sm-6" data-mdb-dummy-init>Implicitly generated text:</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-6"></dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-6">Explicitly generated text with 40 characters length:</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-6" data-mdb-dummy-init data-mdb-dummy-text="40"></dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-6">Text with custom color:</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-6" data-mdb-dummy-init data-mdb-dummy-text-color="red"></dd>
</dl>

Image

Create Dummy Image by adding data-mdb-dummy-img to element.

Default

By default Dummy Image is created with size 150x150px and grey background

<img data-mdb-dummy-init data-mdb-dummy-img />

Size

Change Dummy Image size with data-mdb-dummy-img="width value, height value". Height value is optional, when omitted square image will be created.

<img class="dummy" data-mdb-dummy-img="400,300" />

Make Dummy Image inherit full size of its container with data-mdb-dummy-img="100%,100%".

Note: It will only work with container having explicitly set width and height.

Setting data-mdb-dummy-img="100%" will create square image with width and height of its container width

<div style="width: 500px">
  <img data-mdb-dummy-init data-mdb-dummy-img="100%" />
</div>

Text

Add text to Dummy Image with data-mdb-dummy-img-text attribute. Pass any value to attrtibute to set your own text or leave empty to create Dummy Text inside image. Set length of Dummy Text with data-mdb-dummy-text="text length value"

<img data-mdb-dummy-init data-mdb-dummy-img="300" data-mdb-dummy-img-text="Custom text" />
<img data-mdb-dummy-init data-mdb-dummy-img="300" data-mdb-dummy-img-text data-mdb-dummy-text="25" />

Colours

Set the image background color using data-mdb-color and the text color with data-mdb-dummy-text-color. Note that Dummy Image only accepts color values in hexadecimal format (hex).

<img
  data-mdb-dummy-init
  data-mdb-dummy-img="200"
  data-mdb-dummy-img-text
  data-mdb-dummy-text="5"
  data-mdb-color="#FF5733"
  data-mdb-dummy-text-color="#FFF"
/>
