Events

Event Propagation

Note All events are propagated to and from input element to the toggle.

You should listen to events from the <input type="checkbox"> directly rather than look for custom events.

<input id="toggle-event" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" />
<div id="console-event"></div>
<script>
  document.querySelector("#toggle-event").change(function (e) {
    document
      .querySelector("#console-event")
      .html("Toggle: " + e.target.prop("checked"));
  });
</script>

Stopping Event Propagation

Passing true to the on, off, toggle, determinate and indeterminate methods will enable the silent option to prevent the control from propagating the change event in cases where you want to update the controls on/off state, but do not want to fire the onChange event.

<input id="toggle-silent" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" />
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleApiOnSilent()">
  On by API (silent)
</button>
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleApiOffSilent()">
  Off by API (silent)
</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" onclick="toggleApiOnNotSilent()">
  On by API (not silent)
</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" onclick="toggleApiOffNotSilent()">
  On by API (not silent)
</button>
<script>
  function toggleApiOnSilent() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-silent").bootstrapToggle("on", true);
  }
  function toggleApiOffSilent() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-silent").bootstrapToggle("off", true);
  }
  function toggleApiOnNotSilent() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-silent").bootstrapToggle("on");
  }
  function toggleApiOffNotSilent() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-silent").bootstrapToggle("off");
  }
</script>

API vs Input

This also means that using the API or Input to trigger events will work both ways.

<input id="toggle-trigger" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" />
<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() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-trigger").bootstrapToggle("on");
  }
  function toggleApiOff() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-trigger").bootstrapToggle("off");
  }
  function toggleInpOn() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-trigger").prop("checked", true).change();
  }
  function toggleInpOff() {
    document.querySelector("#toggle-trigger").prop("checked", false).change();
  }
</script>
