How to get current viewMode property from "Bootstrap Datepicker"

Question

How to get current viewMode property from "Bootstrap Datepicker"? I initialize the control with viewMode= 'years' and I want to close datepicker on changeDate event, only when viewMode='days'.

The user selects a year, then a month, and finally a day. In that moment the control must be closed.

This is the code:

$("#date").datepicker(
    {viewMode: 'years',
     format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'
});

$('#date').on('changeDate', function (ev) {
    //close when viewMode='0' (days)
})

Can anyone help?

If you're using the forked version of Bootstrap Datepicker, to close the UI widget when a date is selected, set the autoclose option to true:

$("#date").datepicker({
    autoclose: true
});
