Integrates Backdrop autocomplete and select fields with the Select2 jQuery library.
Note: There is a core feature request to integrate Select2 in core.
Features:
- 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 nested. 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.
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
Configuration and Usage
- Go to Configuration > User Interface > Select2 to find all the configuration options.
