Show popover without trigger

Question

I want to show a popover without any trigger option.. I tried this but it isn't working..

$('#boo').popover({
    placement : 'right',
    html : true,
    trigger : 'show', 
    content: "write sth"
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="boo" type="submit" class="btn btn-default">go</button>

[update] I just noticed that show isn't listed in trigger options.. (link).. is there a way to get it work?

Answer 1

You can just call the show method

$('#boo').popover({
    placement : 'right',
    html : true,
    trigger : 'show', 
    content: "write sth"
});

$('#boo').popover('show')

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<button id="boo" type="submit" class="btn btn-default">go</button>
