Answer 1

You can use the code below if you dont want to use jQuery UI or any third party pluggin. It's only plain jQuery.

This answer works well with Bootstrap v3.x . For version 4.x see @User comment below

$(".modal").modal("show");

$(".modal-header").on("mousedown", function(mousedownEvt) {
    var $draggable = $(this);
    var x = mousedownEvt.pageX - $draggable.offset().left,
        y = mousedownEvt.pageY - $draggable.offset().top;
    $("body").on("mousemove.draggable", function(mousemoveEvt) {
        $draggable.closest(".modal-dialog").offset({
            "left": mousemoveEvt.pageX - x,
            "top": mousemoveEvt.pageY - y
        });
    });
    $("body").one("mouseup", function() {
        $("body").off("mousemove.draggable");
    });
    $draggable.closest(".modal").one("bs.modal.hide", function() {
        $("body").off("mousemove.draggable");
    });
});

.modal-header {
    cursor: move;
}
