I am trying to make function call on bootstrap datepicker when user clicks outside of calendar.

When user selects date datepicker closes automatically, same when user clicks outside of the datepicker div, it closes itself.

So my question is how can I understand when its closed? I know there is an event called onClose but it only works when page loads

Use the .on("hide"... event.

From the docs:

$('.datepicker').datepicker()
    .on(picker_event, function(e) {
    // `e` here contains the extra attributes
});

For your example... picker_event will be hide.
Something like:

var checkin = $('#date-from').datepicker({
    format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
    startDate: '+1d',
    weekStart: 1,
    beforeShowDay: function(date) {
    return date.valueOf() >= now.valueOf();
},
    autoclose: true
}).on('changeDate', function(ev) {
    alert("changed");
}).on('hide', function(ev) { // <-----------
    alert("hide");
});

• Updated fiddle
• bootstrap-datepicker events
• bootstrap-datepicker hide event

As per the documentation here: https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/events.html#hide

$('.datepicker').datepicker()
    .on('hide', function(e) {
        // `e` here contains the extra attributes
    });

Or

$('.datepicker').datepicker()
    .on('hide', myFunction);

And then create myFunction

function myFunction(e) {
    // whatever you want :)
}

Here is your example with little modify https://jsfiddle/mr3dxj5p/6/ here you can see I just change changeDate to hide to fire alert message
