A standard `<select>` box contains any number of `<option>` elements. Each of these is rendered as an option in the dropdown menu. Select2 preserves this behavior when initialized on a `<select>` element that contains `<option>` elements.
## Disabling a Select2 control
Select2 will respond to the <code>disabled</code> attribute on `<select>` elements. You can also initialize Select2 with `disabled: true` to get the same effect.
<div class="s2-example">
<p>
<select class="js-example-disabled js-states form-control" disabled="disabled"></select>
</p>
<p>
<select class="js-example-disabled-multi js-states form-control" multiple="multiple" disabled="disabled"></select>
</p>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" role="group" aria-label="Programmatic enabling and disabling">
<button type="button" class="js-programmatic-enable btn btn-default">
Enable
</button>
<button type="button" class="js-programmatic-disable btn btn-default">
Disable
</button>
</div>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-disabled"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-disabled">
$(".js-example-disabled").select2();
$(".js-example-disabled-multi").select2();
$(".js-programmatic-enable").on("click", function () {
$(".js-example-disabled").prop("disabled", false);
$(".js-example-disabled-multi").prop("disabled", false);
});
$(".js-programmatic-disable").on("click", function () {
$(".js-example-disabled").prop("disabled", true);
$(".js-example-disabled-multi").prop("disabled", true);
});
</script>
## Labels
You can, and should, use a `<label>` with Select2, just like any other `<select>` element.
<div class="s2-example">
<p>
<label for="id_label_single">
Click this to focus the single select element
<select class="js-example-basic-single js-states form-control" id="id_label_single"></select>
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label for="id_label_multiple">
Click this to focus the multiple select element
<select class="js-example-basic-multiple js-states form-control" id="id_label_multiple" multiple="multiple"></select>
</label>
</p>
</div>
```
<label for="id_label_single">
Click this to highlight the single select element
<select class="js-example-basic-single js-states form-control" id="id_label_single"></select>
</label>
<label for="id_label_multiple">
Click this to highlight the multiple select element
<select class="js-example-basic-multiple js-states form-control" id="id_label_multiple" multiple="multiple"></select>

var $basicSingle = $(".js-example-basic-single");
var $basicMultiple = $(".js-example-basic-multiple");
$.fn.select2.defaults.set("width", "100%");
$basicSingle.select2();
$basicMultiple.select2();
function formatState (state) {
if (!state.id) {
return state.text;
}
var $state = $(
'<span>' +
'<img src="vendor/images/flags/' +
state.element.value.toLowerCase() +
'.png" class="img-flag" /> ' +
state.text +

## Theme support
Select2 supports custom themes using the `theme` option so you can style Select2 to match the rest of your application.
These examples use the `classic` theme, which matches the old look of Select2.
<div class="s2-example">
<p>
<select class="js-example-theme-single js-states form-control">
</select>
</p>
<p>
<select class="js-example-theme-multiple js-states form-control" multiple="multiple"></select>
</p>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-theme"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-theme">
$(".js-example-theme-single").select2({
theme: "classic"
});
$(".js-example-theme-multiple").select2({
theme: "classic"
});
</script>
Various display options of the Select2 component can be changed. You can access the `<option>` element (or `<optgroup>`) and any attributes on those elements using `.element`.
## Responsive design - Percent width
Select2's width can be set to a percentage of its parent to support
responsive design. The two Select2 boxes below are styled to 50% and 75%
width respectively.
<div class="s2-example">
<p>
<select class="js-example-responsive js-states" style="width: 50%"></select>
</p>
<p>
<select class="js-example-responsive js-states" multiple="multiple" style="width: 75%"></select>
</p>
</div>
```
<select class="js-example-responsive" style="width: 50%"></select>
<select class="js-example-responsive" multiple="multiple" style="width: 75%"></select>
```
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-responsive"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-responsive">
$(".js-example-responsive").select2({
width: 'resolve' // need to override the changed default
});
</script>
>>>> Select2 will do its best to resolve the percent width specified via a CSS class, but it is not always possible. The best way to ensure that Select2 is using a percent based width is to inline the `style` declaration into the tag.

'</span>'
);
return $state;
};
});
</script>
## Container width
Select2 will try to match the width of the original element as closely as possible. Sometimes this isn't perfect, in which case you may manually set the `width` [configuration option](/configuration):
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Value</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>"element"</code></td>
<td>
Uses javascript to calculate the width of the source element.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>"style"</code></td>
<td>
Copies the value of the width <code>style</code> attribute set on the source element.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>"resolve"</code></td>
<td>
Tries to use <code>style</code> to determine the width, falling back to <code>element</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Anything else</td>
<td>
The value of the <code>width</code> option is directly set as the width of the container.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

A traditional `<select>` box contains any number of `<option>` elements. Each of these is rendered as an option in the dropdown menu. Select2 preserves this behavior when initialized on a `<select>` element that contains `<option>` elements, converting them into its internal JSON representation:
```
{
"id": "value attribute" || "option text",
"text": "label attribute" || "option text",
"element": HTMLOptionElement
}
```
`<optgroup>` elements will be converted into data objects using the following rules:
```
{
"text": "label attribute",
"children": [ option data object, ... ],
"element": HTMLOptGroupElement
}
```
>>> Options sourced from [other data sources](/data-sources) must conform to this this same internal representation. See ["The Select2 data format"](/data-sources/formats) for details.
## Dropdown option groups
In HTML, `<option>` elements can be grouped by wrapping them with in an `<optgroup>` element:
```
<select>
<optgroup label="Group Name">
<option>Nested option</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
```
Select2 will automatically pick these up and render them appropriately in the dropdown.
### Hierarchical options
Only a single level of nesting is allowed per the HTML specification. If you nest an `<optgroup>` within another `<optgroup>`, Select2 will not be able to detect the extra level of nesting and errors may be triggered as a result.
Furthermore, `<optgroup>` elements **cannot** be made selectable. This is a limitation of the HTML specification and is not a limitation that Select2 can overcome.
If you wish to create a true hierarchy of selectable options, use an `<option>` instead of an `<optgroup>` and [change the style with CSS](http://stackoverflow.com/q/30820215/359284#30948247). Please note that this approach may be considered "less accessible" as it relies on CSS styling, rather than the semantic meaning of `<optgroup>`, to generate the effect.
## Disabling options
Select2 will correctly handle disabled options, both with data coming from a standard select (when the `disabled` attribute is set) and from remote sources, where the object has `disabled: true` set.
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-disabled-results form-control">
<option value="one">First</option>
<option value="two" disabled="disabled">Second (disabled)</option>
<option value="three">Third</option>

The appearance and behavior of the search control can be easily customized with Select2.
## Customizing how results are matched
You may customize the way that Select2 matches search terms by passing a callback to the `matcher` option. This example matches results only if the term appears in the beginning of the string as opposed to anywhere:
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-matcher-start js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-matcher"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-matcher">
function matchStart (term, text) {
if (text.toUpperCase().indexOf(term.toUpperCase()) == 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
$.fn.select2.amd.require(['select2/compat/matcher'], function (oldMatcher) {
$(".js-example-matcher-start").select2({
matcher: oldMatcher(matchStart)
})
});
</script>
>>> This custom matcher uses a [compatibility module](/configuration/deprecated) that is only bundled in the [full version of Select2](/getting-started/builds). You also have the option of using a <a href="options.html#matcher">more complex matcher</a>.
## Limiting search term length
You may limit the maximum length of search terms by using the `maximumInputLength` option:
```
$('select').select2({
maximumInputLength: 20 // only allow terms up to 20 characters long
});
```
## Limiting display of the search box to large result sets
The `minimumResultsForSearch` option determines the minimum number of results required in the initial population of the dropdown to display the search box.
This option is useful for cases where local data is used with a small result set, and the search box would simply be a waste of screen real estate. Set this value to -1 to permanently hide the search box.
```
$('select').select2({
minimumResultsForSearch: 20 // at least 20 results must be displayed
});
```
## Hiding the search box
Select2 allows you to hide the search box depending on the number of options which are displayed. In this example, we use the value `Infinity` to tell Select2 to never display the search box.
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-basic-hide-search js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-basic-hide-search"></pre>

});

This chapter covers the appearance and behavior of the dropdown menu.
## Templating
The appearance of search results in the dropdown can be customized by using the `templateResult` option:
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-templating js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-templating"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-templating">
function formatState (state) {
if (!state.id) {
return state.text;
}
var baseUrl = "{{ url('user://pages/images/flags') }}";
var $state = $(
'<span><img src="' + baseUrl + '/' + state.element.value.toLowerCase() + '.png" class="img-flag" /> ' + state.text + '</span>'
);
return $state;
};
$(".js-example-templating").select2({
templateResult: formatState
});
</script>
## Disabling options
Select2 will correctly handle disabled options, both with data coming from a standard select (when the `disabled` attribute is set) and from remote sources, where the object has <code>disabled: true</code> set.
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-disabled-results form-control">
<option value="one">First</option>
<option value="two" disabled="disabled">Second (disabled)</option>
<option value="three">Third</option>
</select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-disabled-option"></pre>
```
<select class="js-example-disabled-results">
<option value="one">First</option>
<option value="two" disabled="disabled">Second (disabled)</option>
<option value="three">Third</option>
</select>
```
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-disabled-option">
var $disabledResults = $(".js-example-disabled-results");
$disabledResults.select2();
</script>
## Automatic selection
Select2 can be configured to automatically select the currently highlighted result when the dropdown is closed by using the `selectOnClose` option:
```
$('select').select2({
selectOnClose: true
});
```
## Forcing the dropdown to remain open after selection
You may use the `closeOnSelect` option to prevent the dropdown from closing when a result is selected:
```
$('select').select2({
closeOnSelect: false
});
```
## Dropdown placement
The `dropdownParent` option allows you to pick an element for the dropdown to be appended to:
```
$('select').select2({
dropdownParent: $('#my_amazing_modal')
});
```
### Using a Select2 control inside a Bootstrap modal
If you're having trouble using the search box inside a Bootstrap modal, trying setting the `dropdownParent` option to the modal element.
## Dropdown option groups
In HTML, `<option>` elements can be grouped by wrapping them with in an `<optgroup>` element:
```
<select>
<optgroup label="Group Name">
<option>Nested option</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
```
Select2 will automatically pick these up and render them appropriately in the dropdown.
### Hierarchical options
Only a single level of nesting is allowed per the HTML specification. If you nest an `<optgroup>` within another `<optgroup>`, Select2 will not be able to detect the extra level of nesting and errors may be triggered as a result.

<select class="js-example-templating js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-templating"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-templating">
function formatState (state) {
if (!state.id) {
return state.text;
}
var baseUrl = "{{ url('user://pages/images/flags') }}";
var $state = $(
'<span><img src="' + baseUrl + '/' + state.element.value.toLowerCase() + '.png" class="img-flag" /> ' + state.text + '</span>'
);
return $state;
};
$(".js-example-templating").select2({
templateResult: formatState
});
</script>
The `templateResult` function should return a string containing the text to be displayed, or an object (such as a jQuery object) that contains the data that should be displayed. It can also return `null`, which will prevent the option from being displayed in the results list.
>>> You may find it helpful to use a client-side templating engine like [Handlebars](http://handlebarsjs.com/) to define your templates.
### Built-in escaping
By default, strings returned by `templateResult` are assumed to **contain only text** and will be passed through the `escapeMarkup` function, which strips any HTML markup.
If you need to render HTML with your result template, you must wrap your rendered result in a jQuery object. In this case, the result will be passed [directly to `jQuery.fn.append`](https://api.jquery.com/append/) and will be handled directly by jQuery. Any markup, such as HTML, will not be escaped and it is up to you to escape any malicious input provided by users.
>>> **Anything rendered in the results is templated.** This includes results such as the "Searching..." and "Loading more..." text which will periodically be displayed, which allows you to add more advanced formatting to these automatically generated options. You must ensure that your templating functions can support them.
## Automatic selection
Select2 can be configured to automatically select the currently highlighted result when the dropdown is closed by using the `selectOnClose` option:
```
$('select').select2({
selectOnClose: true
});
```
## Forcing the dropdown to remain open after selection
You may use the `closeOnSelect` option to prevent the dropdown from closing when a result is selected:
```
$('select').select2({
closeOnSelect: false
});
```
## Dropdown placement
The `dropdownParent` option allows you to pick an element for the dropdown to be appended to:
```
$('select').select2({
dropdownParent: $('#my_amazing_modal')
});
```

When a selection is made by the user, Select2 will convert the selected `<option>` element into a JSON object based on the following rules:
```

"id": "value attribute" || "option text",
"text": "label attribute" || "option text",

The appearance and behavior of the search control can be easily customized with Select2.
## Customizing how results are matched
When users filter down the results by entering search terms into the search box, Select2 uses an internal "matcher" to match search terms to results. You may customize the way that Select2 matches search terms by specifying a callback for the `matcher` configuration option.
Select2 will pass each option as represented by its [internal representation](/options) into this callback to determine if it should be displayed:
```
function matchCustom(params, data) {
// If there are no search terms, return all of the data
if ($.trim(params.term) === '') {
return data;
}
// `params.term` should be the term that is used for searching
// `data.text` is the text that is displayed for the data object
if (data.text.indexOf(params.term) > -1) {
var modifiedData = $.extend({}, data, true);
modifiedData.text += ' (matched)';
// You can return modified objects from here
// This includes matching the `children` how you want in nested data sets
return modifiedData;
}
// Return `null` if the term should not be displayed
return null;
}
$(".js-example-matcher").select2({
matcher: matchCustom
});
```
>>>> When a remote data set is used, Select2 expects that the returned results have already been filtered.
### Matching grouped options
Only first-level objects will be passed in to the `matcher` callback. If you are working with nested data, you must iterate through the `children` array and match them individually. This allows for more advanced matching when working with nested objects, allowing you to handle them however you want.
This example matches results only if the term appears in the beginning of the string:
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-matcher-start js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-matcher"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-matcher">
function matchStart(params, data) {
// If there are no search terms, return all of the data
if ($.trim(params.term) === '') {
return data;
}
// `data.children` contains the actual options that we are matching against
var filteredChildren = [];
$.each(data.children, function (idx, child) {
if (child.text.toUpperCase().indexOf(params.term.toUpperCase()) == 0) {
filteredChildren.push(child);
}
});
// If we matched any of the timezone group's children, then set the matched children on the group
// and return the group object
if (filteredChildren.length) {
var modifiedData = $.extend({}, data, true);
modifiedData.children = filteredChildren;
// You can return modified objects from here
// This includes matching the `children` how you want in nested data sets
return modifiedData;
}
// Return `null` if the term should not be displayed
return null;
}
$(".js-example-matcher-start").select2({
matcher: matchStart
});
</script>
>>> A [compatibility module]() exists for using v3-style matcher callbacks.
## Minimum search term length
Sometimes when working with large data sets, it is more efficient to start filtering the results only when the search term is a certain length. This is very common when working with remote data sets, as it allows for only significant search terms to be used.
You may set a minimum search term length by using the `minimumInputLength` option:
```
$('select').select2({
minimumInputLength: 3 // only start searching when the user has input 3 or more characters
});
```
## Maximum search term length
In some cases, search terms need to be limited to a certain range. Select2 allows you to limit the length of the search term such that it does not exceed a certain length.
You may limit the maximum length of search terms by using the `maximumInputLength` option:
```
$('select').select2({
maximumInputLength: 20 // only allow terms up to 20 characters long
});
```
## Limiting display of the search box to large result sets
The `minimumResultsForSearch` option determines the minimum number of results required in the initial population of the dropdown to display the search box.
This option is useful for cases where local data is used with a small result set, and the search box would simply be a waste of screen real estate. Set this value to -1 to permanently hide the search box.
```
$('select').select2({
minimumResultsForSearch: 20 // at least 20 results must be displayed
});
```
## Hiding the search box
Select2 allows you to hide the search box depending on the number of options which are displayed. In this example, we use the value `Infinity` to tell Select2 to never display the search box.
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-basic-hide-search js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
<pre data-fill-from=".js-code-example-basic-hide-search"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-basic-hide-search">
$(".js-example-basic-hide-search").select2({
minimumResultsForSearch: Infinity
});

<h1 id="core-options" class="page-header">Core options</h1>
<p>
Select2 supports a small subset of options in every build that is
generated. Each option typically has a decorator that is required that
wraps an adapter, adding support for the option. This is only required
when a custom adapter is being used, as Select2 will build the required
adapters by default.
</p>
<p>
Select2 will automatically apply decorators to any adapters which have not
been manually overridden. The only time you need to decorate adapters is
when you are using third-party adapters not provided by Select2, or you
are using features not provided in the Select2 core. You can apply a
decorator to an adapter using the
<code title="select2/utils">Utils.Decorate</code> method provided with
Select2.
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
$.fn.select2.amd.require(
["select2/utils", "select2/selection/single", "select2/selection/placeholder"],
function (Utils, SingleSelection, Placeholder) {
var CustomSelectionAdapter = Utils.Decorate(SingleSelection, Placeholder);
});
</pre>
<p>
All core options that use decorators or adapters will clearly state it
in the "Decorator" or "Adapter" part of the documentation. Decorators are
typically only compatible with a specific type of adapter, so make sure to
note what adapter is given.
</p>
<h2 id="data-attributes">
Declaring configuration in the <code>data-*</code> attributes
</h2>
<p>
It is recommended that you declare your configuration options for Select2
when initializing Select2. You can also define your configuration options
by using the HTML5 <code>data-*</code> attributes, which will override
any options set when initializing Select2 and any defaults.
</p>
<p>
This means that if you declare your <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> tag as...
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;select data-tags="true" data-placeholder="Select an option"&gt;&lt;/select&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Will be interpreted the same as initializing Select2 as...
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
$("select").select2({
tags: "true",
placeholder: "Select an option"
});
</pre>
<p>
You can also define nested configurations, which are typically needed for
options such as AJAX. Each level of nesting should be separated by two
dashes (<code>--</code>) instead of one. Due to
<a href="https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2070">a jQuery bug</a>,
nested options using <code>data-*</code> attributes
<a href="https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2969">do not work in jQuery 1.x</a>.
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;select data-ajax--url="http://example.org/api/test" data-ajax--cache="true"&gt;&lt;/select&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Which will be interpreted the same as initializing Select2 with...
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
$("select").select2({
ajax: {
url: "http://example.org/api/test",
cache: "true"
}
});
</pre>
<p>
The value of the option is subject to jQuery's
<a href="https://api.jquery.com/data/#data-html5">parsing rules</a> for
HTML5 data attributes.

<h2 id="amd">
AMD compatibility
</h2>
<p>
You can find more information on how to integrate Select2 with your
existing AMD-based project by
<a href="announcements-4.0.html#builds">viewing the 4.0 release notes</a>.
Select2 automatically loads some modules when the adapters are being
automatically constructed, so those who are using Select2 with a custom
AMD build using their own system may need to specify the paths that are
generated to the Select2 modules.

Returning and displaying results

<p>
Select2 can work on many different data sets ranging from local options,
the same way that a <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> typically works, from
remote options where a server generates the results that users can select
from.
</p>
<h3 id="data">
Array
</h3>
<p>
Select2 allows creating the results based on an array of data objects that
is included when initializing Select2.
</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Key</dt>

<p>
The objects that the users can select from should be passed as an array
with each object containing <code>id</code> and <code>text</code>
properties.
</p>
<h3 id="ajax">
AJAX
</h3>
<p>
Select2 allows searching for results from remote data sources using AJAX
requests.
</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">

</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<p>
All options passed to this option will be directly passed to the
<code>$.ajax</code> function that executes AJAX requests. There are a few
custom options that Select2 will intercept, allowing you to customize the
request as it is being made.
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
ajax: {
// The number of milliseconds to wait for the user to stop typing before
// issuing the ajax request.

//
// @param params The object containing the parameters used to generate the
// request.
// @returns The url that the request should be made to.
url: function (params) {
return UrlGenerator.Random();
},
// You can pass custom data into the request based on the parameters used to
// make the request. For `GET` requests, the default method, these are the
// query parameters that are appended to the url. For `POST` requests, this

// your server are expecting.
//
// @param params The object containing the parameters used to generate the
// request.
// @returns Data to be directly passed into the request.
data: function (params) {
var queryParameters = {
q: params.term
}
return queryParameters;
},
// You can modify the results that are returned from the server, allowing you
// to make last-minute changes to the data, or find the correct part of the

},
// You can use a custom AJAX transport function if you do not want to use the
// default one provided by jQuery.
//
// @param params The object containing the parameters used to generate the

// @param success A callback function that takes `data`, the results from the
// request.
// @param failure A callback function that indicates that the request could
// not be completed.
// @returns An object that has an `abort` function that can be called to abort
// the request if needed.
transport: function (params, success, failure) {
var $request = $.ajax(params);
$request.then(success);
$request.fail(failure);
return $request;
}
}
</pre>
</p>
<h3 id="tags">
Tags
</h3>
<p>
Users can create their own options based on the text that they have
entered.
</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">

</div>
</div>
<p>
If the <code>tags</code> option is passed into Select2, if a user types
anything into the search box which doesn't already exist, it will be
displayed at the top and the user will be able to select it.
</p>
<p>
<strong>For backwards compatibility</strong>, if an array of objects is
passed in with the <code>tags</code> option, the options will be
automatically created and the user will be able to select from them.
This is the <strong>same as how <a href="#data">array data</a>
works</strong>, and has similar limitations.
</p>
<h3 id="matcher">
Change how options are matched when searching
</h3>
<p>
When users filter down the results by entering search terms into the
search box, Select2 uses an internal "matcher" to match search terms to
results. <strong>When a remote data set is used, Select2 expects that the
returned results have already been filtered.</strong>
</p>
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Key</dt>
<dd>
<code>matcher</code>
</dd>
<dt>Value</dt>
<dd>
A function taking search <code>params</code> and the
<code>data</code> object.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
Select2 will pass the individual data objects that have been passed back
from the data adapter into the <code>matcher</code> individually to
determine if they should be displayed. Only the first-level objects will
be passed in, so <strong>if you are working with nested data, you need to
match those individually</strong>.
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
matcher: function (params, data) {
// If there are no search terms, return all of the data
if ($.trim(params.term) === '') {
return data;
}
// `params.term` should be the term that is used for searching
// `data.text` is the text that is displayed for the data object
if (data.text.indexOf(params.term) > -1) {
var modifiedData = $.extend({}, data, true);
modifiedData.text += ' (matched)';
// You can return modified objects from here
// This includes matching the `children` how you want in nested data sets
return modifiedData;
}
// Return `null` if the term should not be displayed
return null;
}
</pre>
<p>
This allows for more advanced matching when working with nested objects,
allowing you to handle them however you want. For those who are not
looking to implement highly customized matching, but instead are just
looking to change the matching algorithm for the text, a
<a href="#compat-matcher">compatibility modules</a> has been created to
make it easier.

<h1 id="setting-default-options">Setting default options</h1>
<p>
In some cases, you need to set the default options for all instances of
Select2 in your web application. This is especially useful when you are
migrating from past versions of Select2, or you are using non-standard
options <a href="#amd">like custom AMD builds</a>. Select2 exposes the
default options through <code>$.fn.select2.defaults</code>, which allows
you to set them globally.
</p>
<p>
When setting options globally, any past defaults that have been set will
be overriden. Default options are only used when an option is requested
that has not been set during initialization.
</p>
<p>
<strong>You can set default options</strong> by calling
<code>$.fn.select2.defaults.set("key", "value")</code>. The key that is
set should take the same format as keys set using
<a href="#data-attributes">HTML <code>data-*</code> attributes</a> which
means that two dashes (<code>--</code>) will be replaced by a level of

## Multiple languages (localization)
## Message translations
Select2 can load message translations for different languages from language files.
When necessary, Select2 displays certain messages to the user. For example, a message will appear when no search results were found or more characters need to be entered in order for a search to be made. These messages have been <a href="community.html#translations">translated into many languages</a> by contributors to Select2, but you can also provide your own translations.
The language does not have to be defined when Select2 is being initialized, but instead can be defined in the `[lang]` attribute of any parent elements as `[lang="es"]`.
### Language files
Select2 can load message translations for different languages from language files. When using translations provided by Select2, you must make sure to include the translation file in your page after Select2.
When a string is passed in as the language, Select2 will try to resolve it into a language file. This allows you to specify your own language files, which must be defined as an AMD module. If the language file cannot be found, Select2 will assume it is is one of Select2's built-in languages, and it will try to load the translations for that language instead.

title: Adapters and Decorators
taxonomy:
category: docs
---
Starting in version 4.0, Select2 uses the [Adapter pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_pattern) as a powerful means of extending its features and behavior.
Most of the built-in features, such as those described in the previous chapters, are implemented via one of the [built-in adapters](/default-adapters). You may further extend the functionality of Select2 by implementing your own adapters.
## Adapter interfaces
All custom adapters must implement the methods described by the `Adapter` interface.
In addition, adapters that override the default `selectionAdapter` and `dataAdapter` behavior must implement the additional methods described by the corresponding `SelectionAdapter` and `DataAdapter` interfaces.
### `Adapter`
All adapters must implement the `Adapter` interface, which Select2 uses to render DOM elements for the adapter and bind any internal events:
```
// The basic HTML that should be rendered by Select2. A jQuery or DOM element
// should be returned, which will automatically be placed by Select2 within the
// DOM.
//
// @returns A jQuery or DOM element that contains any elements that must be
// rendered by Select2.
Adapter.render = function () {
return $jq;
};
// Bind to any Select2 or DOM events.
//
// @param container The Select2 object that is bound to the jQuery element. You
// can listen to Select2 events with `on` and trigger Select2 events using the
// `trigger` method.
// @param $container The jQuery DOM node that all default adapters will be
// rendered within.
Adapter.bind = function (container, $container) { };
// Position the DOM element within the Select2 DOM container, or in another
// place. This allows adapters to be located outside of the Select2 DOM,
// such as at the end of the document or in a specific place within the Select2
// DOM node.
//
// Note: This method is not called on data adapters.
//
// @param $rendered The rendered DOM element that was returned from the call to
// `render`. This may have been modified by Select2, but the root element
// will always be the same.
// @param $defaultContainer The default container that Select2 will typically
// place the rendered DOM element within. For most adapters, this is the
// Select2 DOM element.
Adapter.position = function ($rendered, $defaultContainer) { };
// Destroy any events or DOM elements that have been created.
// This is called when `select2("destroy")` is called on an element.
Adapter.destroy = function () { };
```
### `SelectionAdapter`
The selection is what is shown to the user as a replacement of the standard `<select>` box. It controls the display of the selection option(s), as well anything else that needs to be embedded within the container, such as a search box.
Adapters that will be used to override the default `selectionAdapter` must implement the `update` method as well:
```
// Update the selected data.
//
// @param data An array of data objects that have been generated by the data
// adapter. If no objects should be selected, an empty array will be passed.
//
// Note: An array will always be passed into this method, even if Select2 is
// attached to a source which only accepts a single selection.
SelectionAdapter.update = function (data) { };
```
### `DataAdapter`
The data set is what Select2 uses to generate the possible results that can be selected, as well as the currently selected results.
Adapters that will be used to override the default `dataAdapter` must implement the `current` and `query` methods as well:
```
// Get the currently selected options. This is called when trying to get the
// initial selection for Select2, as well as when Select2 needs to determine
// what options within the results are selected.
//
// @param callback A function that should be called when the current selection
// has been retrieved. The first parameter to the function should be an array
// of data objects.
DataAdapter.current = function (callback) {
callback(currentData);
}
// Get a set of options that are filtered based on the parameters that have
// been passed on in.
//
// @param params An object containing any number of parameters that the query
// could be affected by. Only the core parameters will be documented.
// @param params.term A user-supplied term. This is typically the value of the
// search box, if one exists, but can also be an empty string or null value.
// @param params.page The specific page that should be loaded. This is typically
// provided when working with remote data sets, which rely on pagination to
// determine what objects should be displayed.
// @param callback The function that should be called with the queried results.
DataAdapter.query = function (params, callback) {
callback(queryiedData);
}
```
## Decorators
Select2 uses [decorators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern) to expose the functionality of adapters through its [configuration options](/configuration).
You can apply a decorator to an adapter using the `Utils.Decorate` method provided with Select2:
```
$.fn.select2.amd.require(
["select2/utils", "select2/selection/single", "select2/selection/placeholder"],
function (Utils, SingleSelection, Placeholder) {
var CustomSelectionAdapter = Utils.Decorate(SingleSelection, Placeholder);
});
```
>>> All core options that use decorators or adapters will clearly state it in the "Decorator" or "Adapter" part of the documentation. Decorators are typically only compatible with a specific type of adapter, so make sure to note what adapter is given.
## AMD Compatibility
You can find more information on how to integrate Select2 with your existing AMD-based project by <a href="announcements-4.0.html#builds">viewing the 4.0 release notes</a>. Select2 automatically loads some modules when the adapters are being automatically constructed, so those who are using Select2 with a custom AMD build using their own system may need to specify the paths that are generated to the Select2 modules.

title: Selection
taxonomy:

Select2 provides the `SingleSelection` and `MultipleSelection` adapters as default implementations of the `SelectionAdapter` for single- and multi-select controls, respectively. Both `SingleSelection` and `MultipleSelection` extend the base `BaseSelection` adapter.
The selection adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the `selectionAdapter` configuration option.
`select2/selection`
## Decorators
### `Placeholder` and `HidePlaceholder`
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/selection/placeholder`
`select2/dropdown/hidePlaceholder`
These decorators implement Select2's [placeholder](/placeholders) features.
### `AllowClear`
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/selection/allowClear`
This decorator implements [clearable selections](/selections#clearable-selections) as exposed through the `allowClear` option.
### `EventRelay`
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/selection/eventRelay`
Select2 has an internal event system that is used to notify parts of the component that state has changed, as well as an adapter that allows some of these events to be relayed to the outside word.

Select2 provides the `SingleSelection` and `MultipleSelection` adapters as default implementations of the `SelectionAdapter` for single- and multi-select controls, respectively. Both `SingleSelection` and `MultipleSelection` extend the base `BaseSelection` adapter.
The selection adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the `selectionAdapter` configuration option.

title: SelectAdapter
taxonomy:
category: docs

Select2 provides the `SelectAdapter` as a default implementation of the `DataAdapter` adapter. It extends `BaseAdapter`.
This adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the `dataAdapter` configuration option.
**AMD Modules:**
- `select2/data/base`
- `select2/data/select`
## Decorators
### `Tags`
This decorator implements the [tagging](/tagging) feature.
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/data/tags`
<p>
<strong>For backwards compatibility</strong>, if an array of objects is
passed in with the <code>tags</code> option, the options will be
automatically created and the user will be able to select from them.
This is the <strong>same as how <a href="#data">array data</a>
works</strong>, and has similar limitations.
</p>
### `MinimumInputLength`
This decorator implements the [minimum search term length](/searching#minimum-search-term-length) feature as exposed through the `minimumInputLength` configuration option.
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/data/minimumInputLength`
### `MaximumInputLength`
This decorator implements the [maximum search term length](/searching#maximum-search-term-length) feature as exposed through the `maximumInputLength` configuration option.
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/data/maximumInputLength`

The `ResultsAdapter` controls the list of results that the user can select from.
The results adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the `resultsAdapter` configuration option. While the results adapter does not define any additional methods that must be implemented, it makes extensive use of the Select2 event system for controlling the display of results and messages.
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/results`
## Decorators
### `Tags`
This decorator implements the [tagging](/tagging) feature.
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/data/tags`
### `SelectOnClose`
This decorator implements [automatic selection](/dropdown#automatic-selection) of the highlighted option when the dropdown is closed.
**AMD Modules:**
`select2/dropdown/selectOnClose`

title: Dropdown
taxonomy:
category: docs
---
The dropdown adapter defines the main container that the dropdown should be held in. Select2 allows you to change the way that the dropdown works, allowing you to do anything from attach it to a different location in the document or add a search box.
It is common for decorators to attach to the `render` and `position` methods to alter how the dropdown is altered and positioned.
This adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the `dropdownAdapter` configuration option.
`select2/dropdown`
## Decorators
### `AttachBody`
By default, Select2 will attach the dropdown to the end of the body and will absolutely position it to appear below the selection container.
`select2/dropdown/attachBody`
<h2 id="dropdownParent">
Attached to body
</h2>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="alert alert-warning">
<strong>Heads up!</strong>
This will cause DOM events to be raised outside of the standard
Select2 DOM container. This can cause issues with
third-party components such as modals.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
When the dropdown is attached to the body, you are not limited to just
displaying the dropdown below the container. Select2 will display above
the container if there is not enough space below the container, but there
is enough space above it. You are also not limited to displaying the
dropdown within the parent container, which means Select2 will render
correctly inside of modals and other small containers.
</p>
### `AttachContainer`
`select2/dropdown/attachContainer`
<h2 id="dropdown-attachContainer">
Attached below the container
</h2>
<p>
Select2 can place the dropdown directly after the selection container, so
it will appear in the same location within the DOM as the rest of Select2.
</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="alert alert-warning">
<strong>Check your build.</strong> This module is only included in the
<a href="index.html#builds-full" class="alert-link">full builds</a> of
Select2.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<strong>
<a href="https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/">Harvest Chosen</a>
migrators!
</strong>
If you are migrating to Select2 from Chosen, this option will cause
Select2 to position the dropdown in a similar way.
</div>
### `DropdownSearch`
`select2/dropdown/search`
<p>
Users can filter down the results by typing a search term into a box that
is displayed at the top of the dropdown.
</p>
<p>
A search box is added to the top of the dropdown automatically for select
boxes where only a single option can be selected.
</p>
### `MinimumResultsForSearch`
`select2/dropdown/minimumResultsForSearch`
<h3 id="dropdown-maximumInputLength">
Minimum results to display the search box
</h3>
<p>
When working with smaller data sets, the search box can take up more space
that is necessary, as there are not enough results for filtering to be
effective. Select2 allows you to only display the search box when the
number of search results reaches a certain threshold.
</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Key</dt>
<dd><code>minimumResultsForSearch</code></dd>
<dt>Value</dt>
<dd>integer</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
### `CloseOnSelect`
`select2/dropdown/closeOnSelect`
<h2 id="closeOnSelect">
Close the dropdown when a result is selected
</h2>
<p>
Select2 will automatically close the dropdown when an element is selected,
similar to what is done with a normal select box. This behavior can be
changed though to keep the dropdown open when results are selected,
allowing for multiple options to be selected quickly.
</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Key</dt>
<dd><code>closeOnSelect</code></dd>
<dt>Default</dt>
<dd><code>true</code></dd>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<p>
If this decorator is not used (or <code>closeOnSelect</code> is set to
<code>false</code>), the dropdown will not automatically close when a
result is selected. The dropdown will also never close if the
<kbd>ctrl</kbd> key is held down when the result is selected.
