|
|
<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.

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><select></code> tag as...
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint">
|
|
<select data-tags="true" data-placeholder="Select an option"></select>
|
|
</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">
|
|
<select data-ajax--url="http://example.org/api/test" data-ajax--cache="true"></select>
|
|
</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.

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.

<strong>Heads up!</strong>
|
|
Because browsers assume that the first <code>option</code> in
|
|
single-value select boxes is selected, you should add an empty
|
|
<code><option></option></code> tag that the placeholder
|
|
should use or it may not work.
|

</div>
|

</div>
|

If the <strong>value is a string</strong>, the placeholder will be

<p>
|
|
If the <strong>value is an object</strong>, the object should be
|
|
compatible with Select2's internal objects. The <code>id</code> should
|
|
be the id to look for when determining if the placeholder should be
|
|
displayed. The <code>text</code> should be the placeholder to display
|
|
when that option is selected.

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.

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>
|
|
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>

<code>data</code> object.

</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.
