Set Selected Value from array using select2 javascript

Question

I have array in javascript like this

var array = ["Impression", "Clicks", "CTR", "CVR", "CPC", "CPM", "CPA"]

I want to set selected text in select2 from one of my array but getting confused.

select2 code:

 $('.params_1').select2({ placeholder: "Impression", allowClear: false, data: array, initSelection: true }); 

 <select> <option selected="selected">text</option> <option>text</option> </select> 

I'm using placeholder :"impression" but that not selected, it just label in my select option.

Answer 1

If you want have some option to be selected from array, your html should contain that option.

For example- if you want to set "Impression" to be selected, change your html to following-

<select>
  <option selected="selected">Impression</option>
</select>

And if you want to provide your options with some value , you should change your Array to be an array of objects. For more details, please check this link.
