While deep nesting will not work on a standard `<select>`, we can
emulate it through data objects still, and just handle the display
of the data in the results.
This also means that the horrific deep-nested CSS is back to handle
the padding. I hope that will get fixed over time.
This also fixes one of the performance issues with adding array
data, as options are added at the very end instead of one by one.
Also pull the logic for automatically closing the dropdown into the
dropdown adapter, taking it out of the core.
The `selected` and `unselected` events are now `select` and
`unselect`, which is what many of the other adapters were expecting
them to be.
Some tests for placeholders have been added.
There was a plan to universally use an array as the return from
query methods, but now that we've realized pagination and extra
things are impossible without it, we're going back to the return
object. Anyone looking to migrate their data should be returning
an object with the key `results` containing what they previously
returned.
This should fix https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2898
Now that the data objects have the `element` property, we can test
to make sure it's a DOM element and then use it for selecting the
option. This allows us to select multiple options with the same id,
as well as handle cases where that is already happening.
You cannot use `$e.val()` to select two options with the same id,
as jQuery will reject it, but you can set the second option to
`.selected = true`, which is supported.
This adds a search box to the main container for multiple select
boxes, similar to the what the old version had. This can still be
swapped out such that the search box displays above the results
like it previously did.
The placeholder for multiple selects will also now use the input
attribute of the search box instead of generating a custom element.
This also changes the selector for the search container to
`.select2-search`, which is consistent with the old class and
reduces the complexity of the selectors.
This fixes an issue with how decorators worked, where the constructor
from the parent class would clobber the custom constructor that is
generated for the new decorated class. This has been fixed by
excluding the constructor from the list of fields which are
transferred when decorating classes.
This improves the speeds of creating the `<option>` tags for array
data. By creating the HTML ahead of time and putting it into an
`<option>` element before passing it to jQuery, it cuts down on the
time it takes for jQuery to process the HTML string and convert it
into DOM elements. This proved to be incredibly slow.
This also changes the `item` function to return early when the
data exists. The `$e.data` call has also been switched to a
`$.data` call, which doesn't need to check the DOM to see if the
data attributes already exist. This cuts down on a bit of wasted
time, as the `data` key should never be present in the DOM, and it
should be ignored if it is.
This converts individual objects passed in through the `array`
parameter to `<option>` tags when Select2 is initialized. This
removes a lot of duplicate code from the `ArrayAdapter`, and keeps
everything closer to the native `<select>` element.
This introduces a breaking change from previous versions of Select2,
where the initial value for array data was blank, even if a blank
option was not present in the original array of objects. Now the
first object passed in will be selected by default, following the
behavior of a standard `<select>` element.
This breaking change does not affect `<select multiple="multiple">`
elements, which by default have no selection.
When using array data, and an option is selected, the data that is
attached to the DOM element will be run through `item` and should
have any private, automatically generated attributes added and
merged with it.
We should only be checking the option values that matter, such as
`id` and `text`, instead of checking all of the option values. This
will prevent unexpected breaking when new properties are added to
the options.
Existing properties should be covered by tests to avoid regressions.
We have to enforce ids being strings as the values of options within
a select will always be an id. This fixes an issue that we had with
array selections not being highlighted in the results.
This adds decorator support in a very basic way, but enough that
it doesn't take a lot of effort to get it implemented.
This also starts work on splitting things out for theming.
