Can I check if Bootstrap Modal Shown / Hidden?

Question

Can I check if Bootstrap Modal currently Shown / Hidden Programatically?

Like bool a = if(\"#myModal\").shown(); ?

I need true/false

Answer 1

The best method is given in the docs

$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
  // will only come inside after the modal is shown
});
