If you are in need of a global callback for bootstrap modals, you can use the fired events.
Simply add the following jQuery in coffeescript:
# coffee
$('body').on 'show', '> .modal', ->
console.log 'Modal is being shown.'
or plain javascript:
// js
$('body').on('show', '> .modal', function() {
console.log('Modal is being shown.');
});
Note the >
selector, which saves a lot of DOM traversing.
