jquery function on toggleClass complete?

Question

How can I do a function once a toggleClass has completed? I've tried the following but with no luck:

$("#loader").toggleClass('fadeOut', function () {
? ? alert('a');
});

jQuery has a promise method that returns a promise that resolves after all running animations on selected elements are complete. At that point, you can bind to it's done method.

$("#loader").toggleClass('fadeOut',600).promise().done(function(){
    console.log('a');
});

Note: Animations using toggleClass require jQuery UI.
