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

window.setTimeout(function() {
   $('#myModal').modal('show');
}, 5000)

For demo I used 5000 mini seconds. You can used it as per your need...

Answer 2

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)
    }
});

Answer 3

If any of those above method does't work, give this method a try. It will work perfectly.

$(window).ready(function() {
   setTimeout(function(){
       $('#myModal').modal('show');
   }, 2000);
});

You can delay the click of the trigger button, then activate the modal directly:

$('[data-toggle=modal]').on('click', function (e) {
    var $target = $($(this).data('target'));
    $target.data('triggered',true);
    setTimeout(function() {
        if ($target.data('triggered')) {
            $target.modal('show')
                .data('triggered',false); // prevents multiple clicks from reopening
        };
    }, 3000); // milliseconds
    return false;
});
