How to delay display of Bootstrap 3 modal after click

Question

I\'m trying to delay the display of a Bootstrap modal after the user has clicked on a trigger button:

Answer 1

Use .on() to hook into the event:

var isFirstShowCall = false;

$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
    isFirstShowCall = !isFirstShowCall; // Prevents an endless recursive call
    if(isFirstShowCall) {
            e.preventDefault(); // Prevent immediate opening
            window.setTimeout(function(){
                $('#myModal').modal('show');
            }, 3000)
    }
});
