Answer 1

this section is the callback function:

function(start, end) {
    $('#dateRange span').html(start.format('MMMM D, YYYY') + ' - ' + end.format('MMMM D, YYYY'));
}

you can add any code you want in this function to execute when a user selects a date. you could even define a callback function yourself and pass it to the daterange picker method.

example:

function myCallback(start, end) {
    $('#dateRange span').html(start.format('MMMM D, YYYY') + ' - ' + end.format('MMMM D, YYYY'));
    alert('hello world'); //etc, your code here
}
// attach daterangepicker plugin
$('#dateRange').daterangepicker(options, myCallback);

you also could even define your own custom event handler and trigger it in the callback as well.

example

$(document).on('myCustomEvent', function () {
    // your code here
});

$('#dateRange').daterangepicker({
// .. //
function(start, end) {
    $('#dateRange span').html(start.format('MMMM D, YYYY') + ' - ' + end.format('MMMM D, YYYY'));
    $(document).trigger('myCustomEvent');
});
