Materialize modal not working

Question

I wrote a simple code for materialize modal.
HTML code:

<a class="waves-effect waves-light btn view" data-target="modal1">View Scores</a>
<!-- Modal Structure -->
<div id="modal1" class="modal">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <h4>Modal Header</h4>
    <p>A bunch of text</p>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <a href="#!" class=" modal-action modal-close waves-effect waves-green btn-flat">Agree</a>
  </div>
</div>  

JS code:

$(document).ready(function() {
  // the "href" attribute of .modal-trigger must specify the modal ID that wants to be triggered
  /*$('.view').click(function (){
    $('#modal1').modal('open'); 
    alert('edskjcxnm');
  });*/
  /*$('.view').leanModal();*/
  $('#modal1').modal('open');
});

Why isn't it working?

Answer 1

Initialize all modals first. $('.modal').modal();

Complete code will look like this

(function ($) {
    $(function () {

        //initialize all modals           
        $('.modal').modal();

        //now you can open modal from code
        $('#modal1').modal('open');

        //or by click on trigger
        $('.trigger-modal').modal();

    }); // end of document ready
})(jQuery); // end of jQuery name space
