Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) SilverStripe framework ^4 Maintainer Contact ------------------ [](#maintainer-contact) - Shea Dawson () Select2Field ------------ [](#select2field) A basic dropdown field with enhanced Select2 UI MultiSelect2Field ----------------- [](#multiselect2field) A multiple select dropdown field with Select2 UI GroupedDropdownField -------------------- [](#groupeddropdownfield) Extends SilverStripes GroupedDropdownField to add the Select2 UI AjaxSelect2Field ---------------- [](#ajaxselect2field) The AjaxSelect2Field is a dropdown field that makes use of the ajax result loading and infinite scroll features of select2. This is really useful when you need to offer users a way of choosing an object from a list of hundreds or thousands of records that would either break or make standard dropdown/select fields slow and heavy to load. Note that this does not currently work with multiple selection. PR welcome ;) ### Usage [](#usage) A basic implementation will use configuration defaults to provide a dropdown list of SiteTree objects, suitable for searching for and selecting a page. ``` $field = AjaxSelect2Field::create('PageID'); ``` ### Configuration [](#configuration) You can configure your instance of AjaxSelect2Field with the following api. The setConfig() method is chainable, too. #### Examples [](#examples) ``` // Set a class to search for. Defaults to SiteTree $field->setConfig('classToSearch', 'MyCustomObject'); // Set a list of fields to search on. Default is Title $field->setConfig('searchFields', array('Title', 'ID')); // Limit the number of results loaded per page (scroll set). Default is 200 $field->setConfig('resultsLimit', 100); // The number of characters typed before search results are displayed. Default is 2. $field->setConfig('minimumInputLength', 3); // Configure how items should be displayed in the results list. The value gets parsed by the template parser // You can use HTML too. Default is '$Title'. $field->setConfig('resultsFormat', '$Title$AbsuluteLink'); // Configure how the currently selected item should be displayed. Default is '$Title'. $field->setConfig('selectionFormat', '$Title ($ClassName)'); // Configure the text displayed when no item is selected. Default is 'Search...' $field->setConfig('placeholder', 'Search for a Page...'); // Allow selection of multiple results. NOTE - you must handle the selected IDs (comma separated list) in code $field->setConfig('multiple', true); ``` ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 83% of packages Maintenance16 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity36 Limited adoption so far Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity66 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 77.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
