Loading state button in Bootstrap 3

Question

I'm new to Bootstrap 3. Can't figure out how to activate the loading state button function. My code below is from the documents on getboostrap.com.

<button type="button" data-loading-text="Loading..." class="btn btn-primary">
  Loading state
</button>

Dropdowns works fine so I guess the problem is somewhere else?

You need to detect the click from js side, your HTML remaining same. Note: this method is deprecated since v3.5.5 and removed in v4.

$("button").click(function() {
    var $btn = $(this);
    $btn.button('loading');
    // simulating a timeout
    setTimeout(function () {
        $btn.button('reset');
    }, 1000);
});

Also, don't forget to load jQuery and Bootstrap js (based on jQuery) file in your page.
