This adds a check that triggers an error if Select2 was not able to detect a copy of jQuery on the page. This should help users when they are setting up Select2. **Breaking change:** The full build no longer includes jQuery. Previously, the full build included all requirements for Select2, including jQuery, which meant that anyone looking for the optional requirements had to possibly include multiple versions of jQuery on their page. This means that anyone requiring Select2 to also bundle jQuery will now need to include jQuery on their pages alongside Select2. A copy of jQuery is included in the repository. **Breaking change:** The AMD build of Select2 will now correctly wrap the code in a `define` block. It will still create the named blocks inside of the code, which should be valid in most AMD build systems, so now Select2 is compatible with cases where the file does not have the same name as the Select2 module name. **Breaking change:** Select2 will re-use the AMD methods if they are available on the page, but it will not longer leak the included AMD loader to the global scope. The AMD methods will still be available on the `jQuery.fn.select2.amd` namespace. The `mock.js` test file has been renamed to `helpers.js` and will handle the escalation of the `require` and `define` variables to the global scope. It should be included in all test files, or the tests will fail. This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2946.
Select2
Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and pagination of results.
To get started, checkout examples and documentation at https://select2.github.io/
Use cases
- Enhancing native selects with search.
- Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
- Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via AJAX and have them searchable.
- Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nesting. Select2 does not have this restriction.
- Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
- Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term.
- Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results are scrolled to the end.
- Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.
