在占位符上选择2字体真棒图标

Question

How to add FontAwesome before the placeholder text on Select2.

This is my Select2 option code:

var placeholder = "<i class='fa fa-search'></i>  " + "Select a places";
$(".select2").select2({
    placeholder: placeholder,
    width: null
});

This is my HTML code:

<select class="form-control select2">
    <option></option>
    <option value="A">A</option>
    <option value="B">B</option>
    <option value="C">C</option>
</select>

Thank you.

Declare the escapeMarkup function between Select2 options, then use "search" icon code (you can find it in the Font-Awesome Cheatsheet page) for the placeholder :

 $(function() { var placeholder = "&#xf002 Select a place"; $(".select2").select2({ placeholder: placeholder, width: null, escapeMarkup: function(m) { return m; } }); }); 

 .select2 { font-family: 'FontAwesome' }
