Allow new item

[allochi]

Hi,

Thanks for the new update, I was wondering if the functionality of allowing new item is going to be added in the future? in both select and multi-select.

Thanks!

hi, the functionality is already mostly implemented in this branch https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2/tree/sandbox/tagging via the createSearchOption function that can be specified in the options. please take a look and let me know if thats sufficient for your usecases. it should be merged soon.

Hi, I don't know why, but when I add the function createSearchChoice:

$(".select2-allowNew").select2({
   createSearchChoice: function(term){ return {id:term, text:term} }
});

the function get called, the new term show on the select text field, but when I call

$(".select2-allowNew").select2("val");

The new values are not returned in the array, am I doing something wrong? should createSearchChoice also include the logic of adding the new term into the values?

I'm reading the source code, trying figure it out :D

Can't thank you enough for all of that!

Never mind, stupid me :D

$("#e12").select2({tags:["red", "green", "blue"]});

You ROCK!
