Question

This seems a silly question but just got bootstrap and it doesn’t gives any examples on the website about adding a Javascript callback to a button…

Tried setting my button an id flag and then

<div class="btn-group">
  <button id="rectButton" class="btn">Rectangle</button>
  <button class="btn">Circle</button>
  <button class="btn">Triangle</button>
  <button class="btn">Line</button>
  <button class="btn">Curve</button>
  <button class="btn">Pic</button>
  <button class="btn">Text</button>
  <button class="btn">Gradient</button>
</div>

I want to add a callback to Rectangle button…

$('#rectButton').on('show', function (e) {
    //ACTION
})

cant get the point of bootstrap callbacks.

All I could found on the web is oriented to Rails + Bootstrap… no bootstrap and JS only.

There is no show event in js – you need to bind your button either to the click event:

$('#id').on('click', function (e) {

     //your awesome code here

})

Mind that if your button is inside a form, you may prefer to bind the whole form to the submit event.
