 </div>

button can be added like this

        function addButton() {
            var element = document.createElement("input");
            element.type = "button";
            element.value = "View Info";

    You’d need a parent element in your HTML under which you’d add this newly created switch.

    Say you have a div#switch-host in your HTML.

    <div id="switch-host"></div>

    Then you’d implement a JS function which will add your switch to this div as

    function addSwitch(hostEl) {
  const host = document.getElementById(hostEl);

  const inputEl = document.createElement("input");
  inputEl.setAttribute("type", "checkbox");
  inputEl.setAttribute("checked", false);
  inputEl.dataset.toggle = "toggle";

  host.appendChild(inputEl);
}

    And then call this function as

    addSwitch("switch-host");

    I think this is what you are after. I used some template because I don’t like all that in code. I then modified the values with jQuery since this is a jQuery plugin.

    Ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/template

    /* not used
function addButton() {
  var element = document.createElement("input");
  element.type = "button";
  element.value = "View Info";
  element.name = "getInfo";
  element.className = "btn btn-info btn-lg";
}
*/
function clickHandler(event) {
  console.log('clicked toggle');
}

function addSwitchButton() {
  const container = document.getElementById("switchcontainer");
  const template = document.getElementById("myswitch");
  const clone = template.content
    .firstElementChild.cloneNode(true);
  clone.addEventListener("click", clickHandler);
  $(clone).find('.toggle-on').text('View Info');
  $(clone).find('input[type="checkbox"]').attr('name', 'getInfo');

  $(clone).bootstrapToggle();
  container.appendChild(clone);
}
const addme = document.querySelector(".add-switch");
addme.addEventListener("click", addSwitchButton);
    body {
  font-size: 16px;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

#switchcontainer {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 20em;
  height: 10em;
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
  border: solid #00FF00;
}

.toggle.btn.btn-primary {
  width: 9em;
  height: 2em;
}
