Initialization parameters object

When calling $(".navbar-fixed-top").autoHidingNavbar() you can pass a parameters object with zero or more of the following:

• disableAutohide, defaults to false, set this to true if you want to show/hide the navbar programmatically.
• showOnUpscroll, defaults to 'true', the navbar shows up when scrolling the page upwards (otherwise it shows only when scroll is on page's top).
• showOnBottom, defaults to 'true', the navbar shows up when scroll reaches the page's end.
• hideOffset, defaults to 'auto', hides the navbar after scrolling that much pixel. Auto means the navbar's height.
• animationDuration, defaults to '200', is the duration of the show and hide animations in milliseconds.
• navbarOffset, defaults to '0', the navbar doesn't hide that many pixels from the bottom.

  // on show
});
 
element.on("hide.autoHidingNavbar", function() {
  // on hide
