 Curious which components explicitly require our JavaScript and Popper.js? Click the show components link below. If you're at all unsure about the general page structure, keep reading for an example page template.
 
 Our `bootstrap.bundle.js` and `bootstrap.bundle.min.js` include [Popper](https://popper.js.org/). For more information about what's included in Bootstrap, please see our [contents]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/getting-started/contents/#precompiled-bootstrap) section.

+## Using Bootstrap as a module
+
+We provide a version of Bootstrap built as `ESM` (`bootstrap.esm.js` and `bootstrap.esm.min.js`) which allows you to use Bootstrap as a module in your browser, if your [targeted browsers support it](https://caniuse.com/#feat=es6-module).

+    .forEach(toastNode => new Toast(toastNode))
+</script>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% capture callout %}
+## Incompatible plugins
+
+Due to browser limitations, some of our plugins, namely Dropdown, Tooltip and Popover plugins, cannot be used in a `<script>` tag with `module` type because they depend on Popper.js. For more information about the issue see [here](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/modules#specifiers).

 ## Dependencies
 
 Some plugins and CSS components depend on other plugins. If you include plugins individually, make sure to check for these dependencies in the docs.
