 [![bootstrap-select demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2874325/38997831-97e12bbe-43ab-11e8-85f5-b8c05d91c7b1.gif)](https://developer.snapappointments.com/bootstrap-select)

Demo
----

[](#demo)

You can view a live demo and some examples of how to use the various options [here](https://developer.snapappointments.com/bootstrap-select/examples/).

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

Bootstrap-select requires jQuery v1.9.1+, Bootstrap’s dropdown.js component, and Bootstrap's CSS. If you're not already using Bootstrap in your project, a precompiled version of the Bootstrap v3.4.1 minimum requirements can be downloaded [here](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/customize/?id=7830063837006f6fc84f). If using bootstrap-select with Bootstrap v4+, you'll also need Popper.js. For all of Bootstrap v4's requirements, see [Getting started](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/getting-started/introduction/). A precompiled version of the requirements will be made available in an upcoming release of bootstrap-select.

Several quick start options are available:

- [Download the latest release.](https://github.com/snapappointments/bootstrap-select/archive/v1.14.0-beta3.zip)
- Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/snapappointments/bootstrap-select.git`
- Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bootstrap-select): `npm install bootstrap-select`
- Install with [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/package/bootstrap-select): `yarn add bootstrap-select`
- Install with [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/snapappointments/bootstrap-select): `composer require snapappointments/bootstrap-select`
- Install with [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/bootstrap-select): `Install-Package bootstrap-select`
- Install with [Bower](https://bower.io): `bower install bootstrap-select`
- Install via CDN ([cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/bootstrap-select), [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/bootstrap-select) or [PageCDN](https://pagecdn.com/lib/bootstrap-select)):

```

```

> The CDN is updated after the release is made public, which means that there is a delay between the publishing of a release and its availability on the CDN.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

> Bootstrap 4 only works with bootstrap-select v1.13.0+. By default, bootstrap-select automatically detects the version of Bootstrap being used. However, there are some instances where the version detection won't work. See the [documentation](https://developer.snapappointments.com/bootstrap-select/options/#bootstrap-version) for more information.

### Via `selectpicker` class

[](#via-selectpicker-class)

Add the `selectpicker` class to your select elements to auto-initialize bootstrap-select.

```

  Mustard
  Ketchup
  Barbecue

```

### Via JavaScript

[](#via-javascript)

```
// To style only selects with the my-select class
$('.my-select').selectpicker();
```

or

```
// To style all selects
$('select').selectpicker();
```

If calling bootstrap-select via JavaScript, you will need to wrap your code in a [`.ready()`](https://api.jquery.com/ready/) block or place it at the bottom of the page (after the last instance of bootstrap-select).

```
$(function () {
	$('select').selectpicker();
});
```

Check out the [documentation](https://developer.snapappointments.com/bootstrap-select) for further information.
