Materialize Modal doesn't work on starter template

Recently i switched to materialize (it's based on Bootstrap i guess) and i'm trying to make modal work. it just doesn't show up. the button is there but it triggers nothing. I'm using starter template from Materialize website.

All i did was copy and paste modal code from Materialize modal page. I put the code in starter template but it doesn't work. i also tested it on another theme based on materialize but that didn't work either.

also jQuery is loaded properly.

edit: it's index.html

In the version v0.97.8 (October 30th, 2016) modal plugin has been refactored according to the updates from github. Now, the initialization of the plugin is done differently, like in the example below.

$(document).ready(function(){
    // the "href" attribute of .modal-trigger must specify the modal ID that wants to be triggered
    $('.modal').modal();
});

I think you forgot to attach the plugin to the button.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.modal-trigger').leanModal();
});

Also change this line data-target="#modal1"

<button data-target="#modal1" class="btn modal-trigger">Modal</button>

In to this line data-target="modal1", you inserted # by mistake, a loudy error noticed me in console.

<button data-target="modal1" class="btn modal-trigger">Modal</button>

See the snippet below for working example.
