Do we have events for the navbar-toggle
that appears when we are on the smaller screen?
For instance,
$('#myDropdown').on('shown.bs.navbar-toggle', function () {
// do something…
});
$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.navbar-toggle', function () {
// do something…
});
html,
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<!--<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Home</a>-->
</div>
Otherwise, how can we detect if that navbar-toggle
exists on the smaller screen?
The navbar-toggle
methods emit the Collapse events:
Events
Bootstrap's collapse class exposes a few events for hooking into collapse functionality.
Event Type Description
show.bs.collapse This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called.
shown.bs.collapse This event is fired when a collapse element has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).
hide.bs.collapse This event is fired immediately when the hide method has been called.
hidden.bs.collapse This event is fired when a collapse element has been hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).
Example
$('#myCollapsible').on('hidden.bs.collapse', function () {
// do something…
})

I couldn't get the show/shown or hide/hidden.bs.collapse events to be triggered. I tied the event to the #navbar element.
What did work for me was just using the resize event and then check if the navbar is visible:
Combining what @Patel, madhatter160 and @haxxxton suggested I was able to get it to work:
var navbar_visible = $("#navbar").is(":visible");
$(window).resize(function(){
navbar_visible = $("#navbar").is(":visible");
if (navbar_visible)
$('#brand_name').text('Navbar is visible');
else
$('#brand_name').text('Navbar is not visible');
});
This is a pretty simple solution that doesn't need any special jQuery plugins to work. I wish it was possible to get this to work using the defined *.bs.collapse events though!
You can also try this our on jsFiddle.
Using jquery you can test if something is visible using .is(':visible')
. http://api.jquery.com/visible-selector/
If you need its visibility to trigger something else you could look at implementing the jQuery Mutate plugin. This effectively monitors an element for a change in a property and then fires an event. http://www.jqui.net/jquery-projects/jquery-mutate-official/
