I am using the materializecss Datepicker (https://materializecss.com/pickers.html), and this seems like it should be really straightforward so I'm losing my mind a bit over it. Put simply, I'm trying to trigger an event only if the "Ok" button is clicked, but cannot identify that in the onClose() function provided. If I try to listen for the specific button click, I lose all that comes with the onClose() function (which nicely packages up all the info I need on that event).
Is there any way, with the onClose() function, that I can identify which button caused that onClose() to fire?
I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to javascript and jquery, so any help is appreciated.
HTML
<input type="text" class="datepicker" value="8/4/2018" job="533">
Javascript Code to initialize the datepicker
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
"format": "m/d/yyyy",
onClose() {
// only do something if this was fired from the "Done" button
}
})
});

This code below can help you get the right button you want to do some stuff with it. Add 2 listeners to the done and cancel buttons of that opened modal right in onOpen(), and remove listeners onClose(). This will work for you.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
function Cancel() {
if(!this.hasEvent) {
this.hasEvent = true;
console.log('Clicked on cancel btn:', this.cancelBtn);
}
}
function Done() {
if(!this.hasEvent) {
this.hasEvent = true;
console.log('Clicked on done btn:', this.doneBtn);
}
}
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
"format": "m/d/yyyy",
onOpen: function(e) {
var that = this;
that.hasEvent = false;
this.cancelBtn.addEventListener('click', Cancel.bind(that))
this.doneBtn.addEventListener('click', Done.bind(that))
},
onClose: function(e) {
var that = this;
this.cancelBtn.removeEventListener('click', Cancel.bind(that))
this.doneBtn.removeEventListener('click', Done.bind(that))
}
})
});
</script>
