jquery - Twitter Bootstrap Modal - IsShown

Question

Hello Fellow SO users,

Got this problem where i auto populate a modal box.

Sometimes it already has content, so i tried doing a hide/show on each request. But the show is fired before the hide function is done, so it breaks the script.

I can't do a bind to "hidden", because if it's the first time - it won't fire the hidden function from bootstrap.

Using modal('true') i can see the object has a isShown element, but does anyone know how i can access it?

The console.log shows this:

$backdrop
    [div.modal-backdrop]

$element
    [div#modal-from-dom.modal]

isShown
    true

settings
    Object { backdrop="static", keyboard=true, show=false}

hide
    function()

show
    function()

toggle
    function()

__proto__
    Object { toggle=function(), show=function(), hide=function()}

Answer for Twitter Bootstrap 3:

$("element").data()['bs.modal'].isShown

or

$("element").data('bs.modal').isShown
