widjet-select-multiple

A widget to make multiple select more user friendly.

Install

npm install widjet-select-multiple --save

Usage

import widgets from 'widjet'
import 'widjet-select-multiple'

widgets('select-multiple', 'select[multiple]', {on: 'load'})

The select-multiple widget operates on select inputs with the multiple attribute defined. It replaces the traditionnal list UI with a new DOM you can style as you see fit. From a single select element you end up with a div containing the original select, a new select that displays only the values that are not selected yet and another div containing the selected values represented as divs with a close button in them (this is the default value formatting, but it can be change through options or data attributes).

The widget behaviour is:

• When an item is selected in the single select, that value is selected in the multiple select, disabled in the single select and displayed in the selected values div using the formatting function.
• When clicking on the close button the inverse process is performed, the option is unselected in the multiple select, enabled in the single select and removed from the selected values div.
