This adds backwards compatibility back into Select2 for `<input />` tags. The compatibility modules are only available in the full version and will trigger a warning if a hidden input is being used. With the new decorator, Select2 should support the basic operations that it previously did, with the exception of completely overriding the internal objects. As we no longer expose `data` as a writable method, it is no longer possible to completely override the selected data. The state is still managed internally, but in order to prevent data corruption issues in the past, it is not exposed to the public. Some small changes needed to be made to how Select2 was dynamically generating new `<option>` tags, so now a method is called that can be overridden. In the case of the new decorator, this method is intercepted and handled without having to actually place the `<option>` tags into the DOM. The decorator is applied after all of the other defaults, as the defaults are not given the current element. There has only been limited testing with this decorator, primarily using the `data` and `placeholder` options. This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3022.
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.

- 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.
