jQuery Datepicker close datepicker after selected date

Question

HTML:

<div class="container">
  <div class="hero-unit">
    <input type="text" placeholder="click to show datepicker" id="example1">
  </div>
</div>

jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function () {
    $('#example1').datepicker({
      format: "dd/mm/yyyy"
    });
  });
</script>

I use bootstrap datepicker.

When I click to datepicker it opens and I select any date.

My question:

If I choose date from datepicker, I want to close datepicker popup.

Which event do i need to use in order to close datepicker on select date?

Edited:

I have found a solution

This works

 $(document).mouseup(function (e) {

        $('#example1').Close();

    });

But this below does not work why ?

 $('#example1').datepicker().on('changeDate', function (ev) {

        $('#example1').Close();

    });

Answer 1

actually you don't need to replace this all....

there are 2 ways to do this. One is to use autoclose property, the other (alternativ) way is to use the on change property thats fired by the input when selecting a Date.

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="hero-unit">
        <input type="text" placeholder="Sample 1: Click to show datepicker" id="example1">
    </div>
    <div class="hero-unit">
        <input type="text" placeholder="Sample 2: Click to show datepicker" id="example2">
    </div>
</div>

jQuery

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#example1').datepicker({
        format: "dd/mm/yyyy",
        autoclose: true
    });

    //Alternativ way
    $('#example2').datepicker({
      format: "dd/mm/yyyy"
    }).on('change', function(){
        $('.datepicker').hide();
    });

});

this is all you have to do :)

HERE IS A FIDDLE to see whats happening.

According to your EDIT:

$('#example1').datepicker().on('changeDate', function (ev) {
    $('#example1').Close();
});

Here you take the Input (that has no Close-Function) and create a Datepicker-Element. If the element changes you want to close it but you still try to close the Input (That has no close-function).

Binding a mouseup event to the document state may not be the best idea because you will fire all containing scripts on each click!

Thats it :)

EDIT: August 2017 (Added a StackOverFlowFiddle aka Snippet. Same as in Top of Post)

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#example1').datepicker({
        format: "dd/mm/yyyy",
        autoclose: true
    });

    //Alternativ way
    $('#example2').datepicker({
      format: "dd/mm/yyyy"
    }).on('change', function(){
        $('.datepicker').hide();
    });
});

.hero-unit{
  float: left;
  width: 210px;
  margin-right: 25px;
}
.hero-unit input{
  width: 100%;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
    <div class="hero-unit">
        <input type="text" placeholder="Sample 1: Click to show datepicker" id="example1">
    </div>
    <div class="hero-unit">
        <input type="text" placeholder="Sample 2: Click to show datepicker" id="example2">
    </div>
</div>

EDIT: December 2018 Obviously Bootstrap-Datepicker doesnt work with jQuery 3.x see this to fix
