Meteor + Bootstrap - Alert closed.bs.alert does not trigger - javascript

I'm using Meteor and Bootstrap, with the nemo64:bootstrap package. In custom.bootstrap.json I have "alerts" and "alert" on.
I'm trying to capture the closed.bs.alert event in a Template events. For some reason, it won't capture.
Template.alert.events({
'closed.bs.alert .alert': function () {
console.log('closed'); // does not trigger
}
});
Oddly, close.bs.alert does work:
Template.alert.events({
'close.bs.alert .alert': function () {
console.log('closed'); // triggers
}
});
Also, if I add the event via jQuery, I can capture closed.bs.alert:
$('.alert').on('closed.bs.alert', function () {
console.log('closed'); // triggers
});
So, I know I have my events formatted correctly and I know the closed.bs.alert event is triggering... but for some reason I can't catch it with Template.alert.events.
Any ideas?

I dove in to the Bootstrap code and found where it triggered this event: alert.js, line 50
First, the technique that I got to work:
Templates.alert.onRendered({
$('.alert').on('closed.bs.alert', function (e) {
console.log('closed'); // triggers =D
});
});
I think the problem lies in the fact that Bootstrap detaches the alert before triggering the event, so things like $(document).on('closed.bs.alert', '.alert') can't work. I don't know 100% for sure, but I suspect Meteor's Template.my_template.events() trigger using a very similar method as well.
Normally this would work:
$(function () {
$('.alert').on('closed.bs.alert', function () {
console.log('closed'); // doesn't trigger
});
});
However, Meteor throws a wrench in to that plan because I'm loading the alerts from data, they aren't there when that would trigger.
However, by putting a jQuery-style on() in a Template.my_template.onRender() seems to do the trick.
Also, Bootstrap doesn't throw the event unless the alert has the "fade" class. You can assign the fade class without including the "transition" module. If you leave it off, you just won't get the effect, but the event can fire regardless.

JQuery click() event listener not working

im trying to get a lil project going but im stuck on a very annoying thing.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#search-button").click(console.log('hello'))
});
as you can see im targeting a search button with the id search-button and as soon as i click it something should happen. in this case i put a console.log in to test if it works but it doesn't. it always logs it as soon as i load the page , not when i click the button i target. ... what am i doing wrong
if you need more info on this pls tell me i tried to keep it as simple as i could
ty for your help
O.k
The click handler needs a function argument, not just the console.log by itself. Try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#search-button").click(function() {
console.log('hello');
});
});
Inside of .click should be a handler .click(handler) and the handler should be a function. The browser is reading the code and when it hits console.log('hello'), it does it! It's seeing .click etc, but it doesn't matter; it next sees console.log and does it.
Try
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#search-button").click(function() {
console.log('hello');
});
});
As others have mentioned, the click function requires its own callback function. You can also use this, without requiring the use of document:
$("#search-button").on('click', function() {
console.log('hello')
})
I hope You're using jQuery version 3 or up. if you use 3 or up jquery version the good practice is you use Document binding Example:
jQuery(document).on('click', '#search-button', function(event) {
//your Code here...
console.log('hello');
});

What is the correct way of defining event in meteor application for shown event of modal

I have a jquery handler as following;
$('#input-output-match').on('shown', function () {
console.log('inside on shown function ');
instance.constructResultSets();
instance.connectResultSets();
});
I'm using bootstrap 2.3.2 and meteor applicaton, so I want to write an event for the same purpose. This is my attempt so far:
Template.flowchart.events({
'shown #input-output-match':function(e){
console.log('invoked!');
}
});
But it does not invoked, what is the correct way of doing it?

jQuery function calling twice, once from our own js and next from jquery.min.js

Hi, I am using jQuery in my application and for swiping event I used jquery mobile, due to usage of both in one application I had an issue that is the swiping event gets fired twice, one time from my own js file and second time the code copied into jquery.min.js, and executing from there.
$(document).ready(function(){
var wrap = $('.slides_wrap');
var slides = wrap.find('.img_slide');
slides.on('swipeleft', function(e) {
console.log('called swipeleft');
$('a.carousel-control .rightArrow').click();
});
slides.on('swiperight', function(e) {
console.log('called swiperight');
$('a.carousel-control .leftArrow').click();
});
});
Try:
slides.parent().off("swiperight").on(...).click();
or:
slides.parent().off("click").on(...).click();
I think you have bind multiple events in closest elements. If this not work, try with .children() too.

Onload fires no matter where I place it

Right, I'm getting quite aggitated with this. I'm probably doing something wrong, but here's what I'm doing:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#somebutton').click(function () {
openPage1();
});
$('#someotherbutton').click(function () {
openPage2();
});
});
var openPage1 = function () {
$('#iframe').attr('src', 'someurl');
$('#iframe').load(function () {
$('#button').click();
});
};
var openPage2 = function () {
$('#iframe').attr('src', 'anotherurl');
$('#iframe').load(function () {
$('#anotherbutton').click();
});
}
Whenever I click somebutton everything goes as expected. However when I click someotherbutton. The .load() from openPage1() is called first and I can't find a way to stop that. The .load() from openPage1() has a button with the same name, however on openPage2() I need to modify the contents before clicking the buttons.
I need to use .load() because I can't click the buttons before the document is ready.
Basically what I need is two seperate .load() instances on the same iframe, that don't fire off on each other.
Besides that, maybe my understanding of jQuery/JS is wrong, but shouldn't the .load() events only be listening after clicking the corresponding button?
Can someone help me out, this has been keeping me busy all afternoon.
Try using on, and once loaded, unbind
$("#iframe").on("load", function(){
$(this).off("load");
$('#button').click();
});
That way you remove the handler you put up before the second button is clicked?
By writing : $('#iframe').load(function (){ $('#button').click(); });, you are adding a listener on the load event, which will stay and be re-executed on each subsequent reload of the iframe.
Here is a jsfiddle to demonstrate this : click on the "reload" button, and see how many times the "loaded" message appears in your console.
in your case, if you click on #somebutton, then on #someotherbutton, after the second click, you will have two handlers bound on the load event, and both will be triggered.
If you click 5 times on #somebutton, you should end up calling 5 times $('#button').click().
If you want to execute it once, you can follow Fred's suggestion, or use jQuery .one() binder :
$('#iframe').one('load', function(){ $('#button').click() });
Here is the updated jsfiddle : 'loaded' should be displayed only once per click.
Maybe try and replace the lines in both functions like this:
$('#iframe').load(function() {
$('#anotherbutton').click();
};
$('#iframe').attr('src', 'anotherurl');
Otherwise it might be firing the event before the new event-handler has been set.
This isn't really an answer to your problem Now it is an answer, but I think utilizing functions as they were intended could be beneficial here, i.e.:
//Utilize a single function that takes arguments
var openPage = function (frame, src, eventEl) {
frame.attr('src', src); // If you pass frame as a jQuery object, you don't
frame.on("load", function(){ // need to do it again
$(this).off("load");
evEl.click(); //Same for your buttons
});
}
//Simplify other code
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#somebutton').click(function () {
openPage($("#iframe"),somehref,$("#buttonelement"));
});
$('#someotherbutton').click(function () {
openPage($("#iframe"),anotherhref,$("#someotherbuttonelement"));
});
});

How to set the focus for a particular field in a Bootstrap modal, once it appears

I've seen a couple of questions in regards to bootstrap modals, but none exactly like this, so I'll go ahead.
I have a modal that I call onclick like so...
$(".modal-link").click(function(event){
$("#modal-content").modal('show');
});
This works fine, but when I show the modal I want to focus on the first input element... In may case the first input element has an id of #photo_name.
So I tried
$(".modal-link").click(function(event){
$("#modal-content").modal('show');
$("input#photo_name").focus();
});
But this was to no avail. Lastly, I tried binding to the 'show' event but even so, the input won't focus. Lastly just for testing, as I had a suspiscion this is about the js loading order, I put in a setTimeout just to see if I delay a second, will the focus work, and yes, it works! But this method is obviously crap. Is there some way to have the same effect as below without using a setTimeout?
$("#modal-content").on('show', function(event){
window.setTimeout(function(){
$(event.currentTarget).find('input#photo_name').first().focus()
}, 0500);
});
Try this
Here is the old DEMO:
EDIT:
(Here is a working DEMO with Bootstrap 3 and jQuery 1.8.3)
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#modal-content').modal('show');
$('#modal-content').on('shown', function() {
$("#txtname").focus();
})
});
Starting bootstrap 3 need to use shown.bs.modal event:
$('#modal-content').on('shown.bs.modal', function() {
$("#txtname").focus();
})
Just wanted to say that Bootstrap 3 handles this a bit differently. The event name is "shown.bs.modal".
$('#themodal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
$("#txtname").focus();
});
or put the focus on the first visible input like this:
.modal('show').on('shown.bs.modal', function ()
{
$('input:visible:first').focus();
})
http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals
I am using this in my layout to capture all modals and focus on the first input
$('.modal').on('shown', function() {
$(this).find('input').focus();
});
I had the same problem with bootstrap 3, focus when i click the link, but not when trigger the event with javascript.
The solution:
$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
setTimeout(function(){
$('#inputId').focus();
}, 100);
});
Probably it´s something about the animation!
I had problem to catch "shown.bs.modal" event.. And this is my solution which works perfect..
Instead simple on():
$('#modal').on 'shown.bs.modal', ->
Use on() with delegated element:
$('body').on 'shown.bs.modal', '#modal', ->
Seems it is because modal animation is enabled (fade in class of the dialog), after calling .modal('show'), the dialog is not immediately visible, so it can't get focus at this time.
I can think of two ways to solve this problem:
Remove fade from class, so the dialog is immediately visible after calling .modal('show'). You can see http://codebins.com/bin/4ldqp7x/4 for demo. (Sorry #keyur, I mistakenly edited and saved as new version of your example)
Call focus() in shown event like what #keyur wrote.
I've created a dynamic way to call each event automatically. It perfect to focus a field, because it call the event just once, removing it after use.
function modalEvents() {
var modal = $('#modal');
var events = ['show', 'shown', 'hide', 'hidden'];
$(events).each(function (index, event) {
modal.on(event + '.bs.modal', function (e) {
var callback = modal.data(event + '-callback');
if (typeof callback != 'undefined') {
callback.call();
modal.removeData(event + '-callback');
}
});
});
}
You just need to call modalEvents() on document ready.
Use:
$('#modal').data('show-callback', function() {
$("input#photo_name").focus();
});
So, you can use the same modal to load what you want without worry about remove events every time.
I had the same problem with the bootstrap 3 and solved like this:
$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
$(this).find('input[type=text]:visible:first').focus();
})
$('#myModal').modal('show').trigger('shown');
Bootstrap has added a loaded event.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/javascript/#modals
capture the 'loaded.bs.modal' event on the modal
$('#mymodal').on('loaded.bs.modal', function(e) {
// do cool stuff here all day… no need to change bootstrap
})
Bootstrap modal show event
$('#modal-content').on('show.bs.modal', function() {
$("#txtname").focus();
})
A little cleaner and more modular solution might be:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.modal').success(function() {
$('input:text:visible:first').focus();
});
});
Or using your ID as an example instead:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#modal-content').modal('show').success(function() {
$('input:text:visible:first').focus();
});
});
Hope that helps..
