I am using the Bootstrap 3 Datepicker plugin. When the user chooses a date, I want to update various parts of my UI. I'm basically trying to create a function that is called when the date changes. However, I've been unsuccessful in my attempts. Currently, I'm trying the following
$('#myDatePicker').datetimepicker({
change: function() {
alert('date has changed!');
}
});
Unfortunately, the change
function never fires. How do I call a function when the date is changed in the date picker?
Bootstrap 4
The eonasdan datepicker plugin is no longer supported in Bootstrap 4, but there is a new plugin: https://tempusdominus.github.io/bootstrap-4
"Tempus Dominus is the successor to the very popular Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker"
To detect the change event, use:
$("#datetimepicker1").on("change.datetimepicker", function (e) {
if (e.oldDate !== e.date) {
alert('You picked: ' + new Date(e.date).toLocaleDateString('en-US'))
}
})

Bootstrap 3 (original answer)
According to the docs, the event is dp.change
:
$('#myDatePicker').datetimepicker().on('dp.change',function(e){
console.log(e)
})
