The placeholder will not only be automatically hidden if the
results adapter was not already overridden. This will allow users
to override the results adapter to now hide the placeholder, if
they do not want that functionality.
This allows them to be overridden, allowing for things like
attaching the dropdown to a different part of the DOM.
The id is also now generated in a function that can be overridden.
Now we point users to the `LICENSE.md` file for the license,
instead of including it in the README. This also removes the
example integrations, which are no longer officially maintained
by Select2.
The translation section has also been updated.
This was only done to maintain compatibility with labels, back
when we could capture the focus events from the original element.
Now that we handle them in a different way, this is no longer
needed.
This fixes#2769.
This adds a custom r.js build for i18n, which processes each JS
file in the `select2/i18n` directory and builds it.
So far only the "No results found" translation has been added.
Now that `define` and `require` are never made public, we have to
build everything to support `$.fn.select2.amd` while also working
with other AMD loaders.
This will prevent leaking variables, and will remove the possibility
of Select2 not working well with other plugins which support
AMD loaders. The `define` and `require` methods are now aliased
under `$.Select2.amd` for use inside additional files, such as
translations.
This fixes#2769, where Select2 will jump around because of how
focus moves to the original element when selections are made.
Because absolute positioning pushed the original element out of the
viewport, bringing it back into the viewport should be the best
fix.
Tags no longer takes an array, as pre-existing tags should already
exist as options in the data adapter. A compatibility module will
later be added to convert tag data that is passed in to array data.
Tags allow for users to enter their own options, which will be
added to the beginning of the results list.
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.
Now the accessibility for the single select box better matches what
is picked up for a native select.
This fixes an issue with us always setting `aria-activedescendant`,
which caused Orca to always say the full path to the selected
result, instead of saying that the box was a combobox with a
selection. This means that the `aria-activedescendant` attribute
will now only be set when the dropdown is open.
This also switches the results list from a listbox to a tree, which
is what Firefox tells screen readers that a standard select is.
Combined with a change to use `role=group` and `aria-label` for
option group labels, screen readers will now announce the group
that they are in as well.
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.
Now the Select2 instance is correctly recognized as a combobox, and
the selected option is read aloud when it is focused, just like in
a standard select box.
This works by generating semi-random ids that are used for the
ARIA attributes. These are not intended to be consistent by any
means, they are just generated to make the instance accessible by
screen readers.
When the main container is focused, you can now move the highlighted
result by using the up and down arrows on the keyboard.
This does not yet keep the highlighted result visible at all times,
and it only is implemented on single selects, but that will come in
the future.
This makes quite a few changes, one of the major ones being the
removal of classes for marking options as selected or selectable,
and instead using the ARIA attributes which should already be
present.
Placeholder support has been implemented as a separate module, so
any selection container should be able to be decorated and get
instant placeholder support. It hooks into the updating method of
selections, and determines when to display the placeholder based
on the options that are being updated.
It works in the same way as the old placeholders. If no options
are selected and being displayed, like in the case of a multiple
select, then the placeholder will always be shown. If one option
is being displayed, and the id of the placeholder matches the id
of the selected element, then the placeholder will be shown. This
is similar to the functionality that was present in Select2 2.x,
where the placeholder could be passed in as an object that would
be compared to the selection.
This still requires that, for single selects, the first element
must match the placeholder id. Because the default placeholder id
is a blank string, this will maintain backwards compatibility with
past versions where the first option should be blank. This can
still be overridden to point at a different id, keeping support
for systems where the placeholder doesn't use a blank value.
**Note:** This does not hide the blank option for single selects,
but that will still be maintained for backwards compatibility
within the results module. It will not depend on a placeholder
being present, but instead will hide any options with blank text.
