When we re-implemented support for responsive widths, through the use of percentages, we never moved the support over to the dropdowns. So the dropdowns generally were not large enough, and when resized they never re-adjusted, and they didn't fully work as intended. This fixes the issue by automatically resizing the dropdown whenever it is repositioned, mainly to handle new scrollbars, which will ensure that it is always the same width as the container. This also adds a section to the examples for responsive design, just like in the old documentation. This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/2949.
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.
