select2/select2

Features

• Select Components - Transforms standard select elements into searchable, multi-select interfaces.
• Form Controls - Transforms standard select elements into searchable, interactive interfaces for complex data selection.
• Multi-Select Inputs - Accepts multiple custom tags within a single input field to allow users to define their own entries.
• Searchable Dropdowns - Provides real-time filtering and search capabilities for complex selection inputs.
• Selection Controls - Provides programmatic methods to clear selections and reset component states to null or empty arrays.
• Modular Architectures - Extends core logic through modular adapters to meet specific functional requirements.
• Accessible Form Controls - Ensures complex selection inputs remain usable and semantically correct for all users.
• Component Adapters - Provides a modular system for extending component behavior through interchangeable adapter classes.
• Dynamic Input Creation - Allows adding custom items to a list by typing directly into the search field.
• Search Filters - Evaluates available options against user input using custom logic to determine visibility.
• Form Components - Enhanced select boxes with search and remote data.
• Remote Data Fetching - Requests remote data asynchronously to populate selection options dynamically.
• Component Configuration - Enables comprehensive customization of component behavior, data sources, and rendering logic.
• Component Composition Patterns - Separates logic into interchangeable adapter classes for data, rendering, and behavior.
• Event Handling - Allows executing custom logic when user interactions occur.
• Input Tokenizers - Converts typed text into distinct tags automatically when specific delimiter characters are entered.
• Programmatic Selection - Allows setting element values and triggering updates programmatically.
• Selection Logic - Provides custom implementations for managing how selections are displayed and handled.
• Data Adapters - Allows custom data processing and selection behavior through specialized adapter classes.
• Data Mapping - Parses HTML elements into internal objects to maintain synchronized state.
• Data Retrieval - Allows accessing currently selected items as arrays of JavaScript objects.
• Rendering Pipelines - Constructs the interface by delegating DOM creation to specialized rendering adapters.
• Accessibility Patterns - Adheres to standard accessibility and focus patterns for complex selection components.
• Dynamic Option Management - Allows generating and appending new choices to the dropdown dynamically.
• Form Element Mapping - Maps standard HTML select elements into internal data objects for consistent handling.
• Interaction States - Prevents user interaction with selection components by applying a disabled state that ignores input.
• Global Defaults - Ensures consistent behavior and settings across all component instances in an application.
• Decorator Patterns - Dynamically adds functionality to core adapters by wrapping them in decorator objects.
• Event Buses - Broadcasts internal state changes through a central event bus to trigger updates.
• Dropdown Behaviors - Enables automated selection logic triggered upon closing the dropdown menu.
• Dropdown Controls - Provides methods to programmatically open or close the dropdown menu.
• Dropdown Positioning - Allows attaching dropdown containers to specific parent elements to resolve layout issues in modals.
• Selection Decorators - Applies decorators to add features like placeholder text and clearable selections.
• Template Renderers - Transforms raw selection data into custom visual representations using callback functions.
• Remote Data Fetching - Provides asynchronous data loading capabilities for dynamic dropdowns and selection interfaces.
