How to bind and trigger custom events in jQuery?

To bind and trigger custom events in jQuery, you can use the .on() and .trigger() methods. Here's how you can do it:

Binding Custom Events:
- Use the .on() method to bind a custom event to an element.
$(selector).on('customEventName', function() { // Code to be executed when custom event is triggered });
Triggering Custom Events:
- Use the .trigger() method to trigger the custom event.
$(selector).trigger('customEventName');

Here's an example where a custom event is bound and triggered:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<button id="myButton">Trigger Custom Event</button>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  // Binding custom event
  $('#myButton').on('customEvent', function() {
    console.log('Custom event triggered!');
  });

  // Triggering custom event
  $('#myButton').click(function() {
    $(this).trigger('customEvent');
  });
});
</script>

</body>
</html>

In this example, when the button with the ID "myButton" is clicked, it triggers the custom event "customEvent". The custom event is then handled by the .on() method, which logs a message to the console.

Keep in mind that the custom event can be triggered manually using the .trigger() method, or it can also be triggered by other event handlers.
