This fixes many of the speed issues the results had when working
with large data sets. jQuery has been completely dropped, with the
exception of setting the data, which does not require a jQuery
object but instead works directly with the DOM. This does not
include options with children, which still uses jQuery to deal
with the nested objects.
This only works with IE 8+, which is fine.
This fixes caching when querying, so the data object no longer
needs to be completely regenerated whenever the `<option>` is
queried.
While this does not fix the speed issues on the first opening of
the instance, it does fix the speed issues during searching.
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.
Now the options are mostly generated by hand before being passed
off to jQuery for templating. This fixes much of the speed issues
we had when they were entirely being generated through jQuery.
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.
The matcher example now matches the old matcher example, and the
compatibility module has been turned into a function decorator
instead of a class decorator.
Only show the "No results found" message when there are no results
visible in the list. This avoid issues when loading more data, and
it returns no results.
Only try to see if the load more button is visible if it is present
in the DOM. This prevents making continuous requests when there are
no more results.
This starts work on the example, which currently uses the GitHub
API.
The `ajax.delay` option has been added that allows for debouncing
requests made within a certain number of milliseconds.
This allows for any control to emit key events, and for the Select2
instance to handle them. So now the search box will allow for
results to be scrolled and selected, bringing back the old expected
functionality. This also stops triggering new queries when the
arrow keys are pressed.
The container will also be automatically focused when the dropdown
is closed, which is consistent with the old Select2.
The results will no longer be queried on initialization, but
instead will be queried when the dropdown is opened. This is more
consistent with the previous version of Select2.
The search box will now be cleared when the dropdown is closed.
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.
