I'm using Select2 Plugin in my asp.net mvc 5 application. according to the documentation
The placeholder option allows you to pass in a data object instead of just a string if you need more flexibility. The id of the data object should match the value of the placeholder option.
I have done exactly that, but the placeholder is still not showing up.
Code:
model.Step6.Titles.Insert(0, new SelectListItem() { Text = "Select a Title", Value = "0", Selected = true });
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Step6.Title, Model.Step6.Titles, new { id="teamtitle", @style = "width: 100%;"})
$("select").select2({
allowClear: true,
placeholder: {
id: "0",
placeholder: "Select an Title"
}
})
can someone show me what I'm doing wrong here?
I think placeholder is a string. Not an object https://select2.github.io/examples.html#placeholders
$("select").select2({
allowClear: true,
placeholder:"Select an Title"
})
Error is placeholder: "Select an Title"
.It should be-
$("select").select2({
allowClear: true,
placeholder: {
id: "0",
text: "Select an Title" //Should be text not placeholder
}
})
I write here because I've spent a lot of time figuring out what was wrong in my code. I've got the placeholder object not showing too (whereas a placeholder string shows correctly). The point is that the empty option element needs to match the value to the placeholder id. I mean, if you put a first empty option like the following:
<option></option>
it won't match with a placeholder declared as
placeholder : { id:'0', text:'Please select...'}
and it won't display anything. Instead you should write:
<option value="0"></option>
Note if multi-select is used select2 seems to require the placeholder as an object. See https://codepen.io/louking/pen/BGMvRP?# for generic examples using yadcf (sorry for the extra complexity, but I believe yadcf passes select_type_options directly to select2). (Excerpt below)
{
column_number:2,
select_type: 'select2',
filter_type: 'multi_select',
select_type_options:
{
placeholder: {
id: -1,
text: 'pick col2'
},
width: '200px',
allowClear: true,
}
},
