Options

The add-on provides some of the options available in ui-select:

• To specify a class for select

{
  key: 'person_list',
  placeholder: 'Some Place Holder', //default will translate placeholder.select
  options: {
    uiClass: 'short_select'
  }
}

• To use the tagging feature of ui select (allowing new values to be added) - see full description here

{
  key: 'person_list',
  placeholder: 'Some Place Holder', //default will translate placeholder.select
  options : {
          tagging: tagFunction ,
          taggingLabel: '(new)',
          taggingTokens: 'SPACE|ENTER|,'
  }
}

• To use the grouping feature of ui-select the grouping attribute or function can be declared like this.
• Note that at the present time grouping is not supported at the same time as tagging as there is a bug in the ui select library.

     {
       key: 'another',
       options:{
          groupBy : 'label', //Add the name of the attribute here
       }
     }

• If a description field is declared in the schema then this will be shown in the drop-down list.

• searchDescriptions can be turned on and off - for example:

  • If description is provided for context, search may not be desirable due to short / common words / repetition between items.
  • If the description is used for synonyms of the label, search is necessary.

     {
       key: 'another',
       options:{
          searchDescriptions : true
       }
     }
