Events
Event Propagation
Note All events are propagated to and from input element to the switch button.
You should listen to events from the <input type="checkbox"> directly rather than look for custom events.
<input id="switch-event" type="checkbox" data-toggle="switchbutton"> <div id="console-event"></div> <script> $(function() { $('#switch-event').change(function() { $('#console-event').html('Checked?: ' + $(this).prop('checked')) }) }) </script>API vs Input
This also means that using the API or Input to trigger events will work both ways.
<input id="switch-trigger" type="checkbox" data-toggle="switchbutton"> <button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleApiOn()" >On by API</button> <button class="btn btn-danger" onclick="toggleApiOff()">Off by API</button> <button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleInpOn()" >On by Input</button> <button class="btn btn-danger" onclick="toggleInpOff()">Off by Input</button> <script> function toggleApiOn() { $('#switch-trigger').switchButton('on') } function toggleApiOff() { $('#switch-trigger').switchButton('off') } function toggleInpOn() { $('#switch-trigger').prop('checked', true).change() } function toggleInpOff() { $('#switch-trigger').prop('checked', false).change() } </script>
