custom-select-light
A lightweight jQuery plugin for custom select creation.
No more supported
This plugin was totally rewritten and finally custom-select has born!
View on github - View on npmjs.
custom-select-light is no more supported.
How it works
Start with a simple select:
Select... Foo Buzz
Important: Don't nest the select inside a label, use instead the for
attribute in the label
With jQuery simply apply the plugin to your select:
;
Here's the HTML result:
Select ... Select... Foo Buzz Foo Buzz
The <select>
'll be wrapped in a div .cstSelContainer
, an opener .cstSelOpener
and a panel .cstSelPanel
, will'be created, with the cloned options from the original <select>
.
That's all! Show, hide and styles will'be managed via css.
And now have fun.
Options
panelClass
Type: string
Default: custom-select-panel
optionClass
Type: string
Default: custom-select-option
openerClass
Type: string
Default: custom-select-opener
containerClass
Type: string
Default: custom-select-container
scrollToSelected
Type: boolean
Default: true
Sometimes it is useful to skip the scroll to setted element function, to avoid some unwanted css animations behaviours, especially when the panel has an absolute
position.
Methods
To use the plugin public methods:
$(selector).customSelectLight( methodName [, ...arguments])
'remove'
Argument: Array
Usage: $('#mySelect').customSelectLight('remove', ['foo', 'bazz']);
Removes the select's options that have the value provided. If no argument is given triggers the 'empty' method.
'empty'
Argument: none
Usage: $('#mySelect').customSelectLight('empty')
Removes all the select's options.
'add'
Argument: 2D Array
Usage: $('#mySelect').customSelectLight('add', [['liz','Liz'],['nut','Nut']])
Adds new options to the select.
The first element of the argument's array is the value, the second is the label
