Creating modal in bootstrap

Question

I have a website running on Bootstrap, JQuery, HTML, CSS. I want to add a modal output on my website such that when a user clicks on a hyperlink a modal opens and prints content of a txt file. E.g. I have two text files which contains different details. And my website consists of sentence --> This is sam. This is his website. I want that when a user clicks on sam or website the respective text file is opened in a simple modal.

@לבנימלכה Currently I have just added tag which opens the text file in a new tab. But I want to open the text file in a modal. So is there any way to do that? — Insta, Nov 14 '18 at 10:10

@לבנימלכה Its a good guide but it explains how to add a modal on a button. I want to add modal on a hyperlink — Insta, Nov 14 '18 at 10:36
@לבנימלכה is there any way I could output the content of text file instead of modal body...? E.g. to view http://humanstxt.org/humans.txt in the modal? — Insta, Nov 14 '18 at 10:47

Use bootstrap-modal and instead use button use a:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.3/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<div class="container">
 
 
  <a href="#"  data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
    Open modal from a
  </a>

  <!-- The Modal -->
  <div class="modal" id="myModal">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
      <div class="modal-content">
      
        <!-- Modal Header -->
        <div class="modal-header">
          <h4 class="modal-title">Modal Heading</h4>
          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
        </div>
        
        <!-- Modal body -->
        <div class="modal-body">
          Modal body..
        </div>
        
        <!-- Modal footer -->
        <div class="modal-footer">
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        </div>
        
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  
</div>

Edit to you comment

is there any way I could output the content of text file in that modal? E.g. to view http://humanstxt.org/humans.txt in the modal? Use:

$.get( "http://humanstxt.org/humans.txt", function( data ) {
  $('.modal-body').html= data;
});

Or with .ajax:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $.ajax({url: "http://humanstxt.org/humans.txt", success: function(result){
            $('.modal-body').html(result);
        }});
});
