`.select2-hidden-accessible` is the CSS class that is added to the original `<select>` element (that Select2 is initialized on) to hide it.
In cases where the original `<select>` has other style declarations assigned which conflict with those of `.select2-hidden-accessible`, the latter styles may be overridden, possibly resulting in the original `<select>` element not being properly hidden.
Similar to what https://github.com/select2/select2/pull/1549 did for Select2 v3's CSS, this adds the `!important` rule to all style declarations for `.select2-hidden-accessible` to make it exponentially harder to override them.
Now the focus of the selection container is correctly monitored so
there is a consistent 1px black border on the default theme whenever
it is focused. This requires `focusin`/`focusout` support, which is
supported by all major browsers except for Firefox. In Firefox, the
old focus appearance is still consistent and has not been broken
by this update.
The key handling has also been improved such that some of the logic
detection that was previously done within the search handlers for
multiple select searches is now pushed back to the base selection.
This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2995.
Select2 previously had an issue displaying the text of long values
as it was not correctly wrapping the text. This was because the
browser did not know that it couldn't wrap at whitespace, which
has been fixed.
Now Select2 should properly display an ellipsis for large text
values instead of overflowing.
This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2984.
The search box previously displayed a clear icon on the far right
side in webkit-based browsers, specifically Chrome and Safari. This
hides the clear icon in those browsers, and also fixes a slight
sizing issue, so it should no longer be displayed.
This also disables autocorrect, autocompleted, as well as a few
other automatic search corrections on the field, so mobile devices
should have a better experience.
This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3018.
Select2 did not previously have a high enough `z-index` for it to
be displayed over modals. The `z-index` has been raised to 1051,
so now it should appear over the jQuery UI and Bootstrap modals.
This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2958.
When Select2 is not used with a design that universally sets
`box-sizing: border-box` to elements, the search box previously
would take up more space than expected. This fixed the issue by
adding the `box-sizing` rule to the search box.
This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2978.
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.
The `AllowClear` decorator appears to work fine with multiple
selects, so we've chosen to remove remove it. This adds some
styling and fixes the check so it all works as expected.
This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2903.
This fixes an issue where the `x` in multiple selects (visible next
to the option) would be visible even if the container was disabled.
Because it was still accepting events as well, this would cause the
underlying data to be changed, even though it was disabled. We now
hide the icon using CSS so this issue doesn't occur.
The same applies to the `x` for clearing a placeholder.

This fixes the SASS error caused by the `&[dir="rtl"]` selector in
the `_single.scss` and `_multiple.scss` files. We were expecting
these files to be nested within the `.select-container` class, which
would have made this a non-error as the `&` would refer to the
`.select2-container` class that was wrapping the `@import`.
This moves the `@import` statements into the `.select2-container`
class, so this no longer triggers an error in the Ruby version of
SASS.

alt-down/up is the standard way of opening a select when using a
screen reader. This also fixes the gradient in IE, so now it
displays the right colors. Also added a note about Placeholders.js,
so the placeholders on multi-select boxes will work in IE 9 and
below.
Added a disabled state for Select2. This will correctly listen to
property changes (so when the disabled property is changed) and
update the state of Select2 to reflect it.
Added a utility function to find a method to a different context.
In past versions of Select2, a mask was used to detect clicks
outside of the dropdown. While this works with high accuracy, and
avoid many of the click issues we had with modals, it is no longer
the default close handler for Select2. It blocks any features on
the container from working without a second click, and introduces
odd edge cases that we cannot easily handle.
Up until now, the container could only have a dropdown that was
displayed below the container. While this worked well, there are
some cases where the dropdown should be displayed above the
container. Most notably, this is when the conatainer is displayed
towards the bottom of the page, and displaying the dropdown would
cause the page to be extended. Because we close the dropdown
when the page is scrolled, the user would not be able to access any
options that were displayed outside of the viewpoint.
Because of the order that events are fired, we attach the handlers
for repositioning the dropdown after results are displayed when the
container is opened for the first time. This allows it to be
registered after the results container registers their events, so
the dropdown is repositioned after the results have been displayed.
The logic for determining the direction that the dropdown will be
shown in is very similar to the positioning code used in
Select2 3.x. Unlike previous versions of Select2, a class is used
to indicate the direction of the dropdown, even if it is displaying
below the container.
The themes provided with Select2 have been updated to correctly
render the dropdown in both directions.
This now matches how the browser works, where the dropdown is
closed when the window scrolls.
The arrow was also covering the clear placeholder icon, this has
now been fixed and the clear icon is now placed correctly.
When the dropdown is in the dropdown that is attached to the body,
the call to `show` causes `display: inline` to be set directly on
the search container. This causes rendering issues, so this change
uses a class instead of calling `show` and `hide` directly.
This is most likely a jQuery bug of some form, as it only happens
when using the dropdown that is attached to the body.
This is inspired by https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2/issues/2826
and starts the general transition to using selectors with a lower
specificity. This should make it considerably easier to override
the styles in the long run.
Unfortunately libsass does not support the SASS 3.3 style for BEM
where we can just use `&__m` for defining sub-modules. For now we
are still using a limited amount of nesting, but nowhere near as
much as we did in the past.
Now the search box is automatically resized for placeholders to
fit the available space, so we don't need to worry about the
placeholder not being visible. When the placeholder doesn't need
to be visible, the size of the search box is determined based on
the length of the current search term.
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.
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.
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.
