I have this simple jQuery event with toggleClass
:
$(this).on("click", function() {
$(this).toggleClass("fa-stop-circle");
});
I would like to call some method if fa-stop-circle
is added. How can I monitor this event?

toggleClass()
doesn't have a callback, however you can check if the element has the class immediately after calling toggleClass()
, like this:
$(this).on("click", function() {
var $el = $(this).toggleClass("fa-stop-circle");
if ($el.hasClass('fa-stop-circle')) {
// do something...
}
});
Working example
You should use .done()
in combination with .promise()
.
The promise will return deferred object;
Then done adds handler when deferred object is resolved.
$(this).toggleClass("fa-stop-circle").promise().done(function() {
if ($this).hasClass("fa-stop-circle")) {
// your code
}
});
You can add an if
statement after the toggling
$(this).on("click", function() {
var that = $(this);
that.toggleClass("fa-stop-circle");
if (that.hasClass('fa-stop-circle')) {
// Execute your method
}
});
UPDATE
You could create and use a function that fires a custom event every time toggleClass()
gets executed and listen to this event in order to execute your method.
/**
* Custom class for toggling classes
* @param $elem {jQuery object}
* @param classes {array}
*/
var customToggleClass = function($elem, classes) {
if ($elem && $elem instanceof jQuery) {
if (classes && classes.length > 0) {
if (classes.length == 1) {
$elem.toggleClass(classes[0]);
$(document).trigger('custom_toggleClass');
} else if (classes.length == 2) {
$elem.toggleClass(classes[0], classes[1]);
$(document).trigger('custom_toggleClass');
}
}
}
}
$(document).on('click', '#test', function() {
customToggleClass($('#test'), ['test_class_1', 'test_class_2']);
});
$(document).on('custom_toggleClass', function() {
alert('Class changed!');
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span id="test">Click me</span>
The below code should work. You can use the promise()
method and bind
it to .done()
.
$(this).on("click", function() {
$(this).toggleClass("fa-stop-circle").promise().done(function(){
//call your method here
});
});
