Bootstrap 3 jquery event for active tab change

I spent an unrealistic amount of time trying to fire a function when the tab changes of the bootstrap 3 tab/navbar and literally all suggestions google spat out were wrong/did not work.

How to go about this?

I use another approach.

Just try to find all a where id starts from some substring.

JS

$('a[id^=v-photos-tab]').click(function () {
     alert("Handler for .click() called.");
});

HTML

<a class="nav-item nav-link active show"  id="v-photos-tab-3a623245-7dc7-4a22-90d0-62705ad0c62b" data-toggle="pill" href="#v-photos-3a623245-7dc7-4a22-90d0-62705ad0c62b" role="tab" aria-controls="v-requestbase-photos" aria-selected="true"><span>Cool photos</span></a>

A similar answer to Gerben Rampaart for bootstrap 5 tabs. Just a few differences with the current tabs HTML in the documentation:

$('button[data-bs-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
  var target = $(e.target).data("bs-target") // activated tab
  alert(target);
});

<nav>
  <div class="nav nav-tabs" id="nav-tab" role="tablist">
<button class="nav-link active" id="nav-home-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#nav-home" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="nav-home" aria-selected="true">Home</button>
<button class="nav-link" id="nav-profile-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#nav-profile" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="nav-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</button>
<button class="nav-link" id="nav-contact-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#nav-contact" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="nav-contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</button>
  </div>
</nav>
<div class="tab-content" id="nav-tabContent">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="nav-home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="nav-home-tab">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="nav-profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="nav-profile-tab">...</div>
