I am attempting to update options in a select-widget by using Javascript (vanilla) with Materialize. I have I guess it is related to "dynamically generated select elements", but I am not sure what to do?
According to Materialize I may need to consider to implement: "In addition, you will need a separate call for any dynamically generated select elements your page generates." . Unfortunately, I am not sure (did not found) how I can "dynamically generated select elements" as to update/refresh the select-widget?
Here are my related codes:

<div class="input-field col s3">
<button id = "btn" class="waves-effect waves-light btn-small"><i class="material-icons left">person_add</i>Add</button>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s3">
<button id = "btnRemove" class="waves-effect waves-light btn-small"><i class="material-icons left">delete</i>Remove</button>
</div>
</div> <!-- CLOSE ROW -->
<div class="row">
<div>
<div style = "position:relative; top:-10px;" class="input-field col s6">
<select id="voteNoList" onchange="PersonInfo()" required>
<option value="">Vote Number?</option>
<!-- <?!= currListNo; ?>
-->
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- CLOSE ROW -->
</div> <!-- CLOSE CONTAINER -->
Javascript (Vanilla)
//------------
// AUTO
//------------
// Select
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var el = document.querySelectorAll('select');
var instances = M.FormSelect.init(el);
});
// Button - Add
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", PersonInfo);
// Button - Remove
document.getElementById("btnRemove").addEventListener("click", PersonDelete);
function PersonInfo(){
debugger;
var selectobject = document.createElement("option");
selectobject.text = "Text55";
selectobject.value = "myvalue55";
var selectList = document.getElementById("voteNoList");
selectList.appendChild(selectobject);
debugger;
return;
}
function PersonDelete(){
debugger;
var selectobject=document.getElementById("voteNoList");
for (var i=0; i<selectobject.length; i++){
if (selectobject.options[i].value == "2"){
selectobject.remove(i);
break;
}
}
debugger;
return;
}
My expectation was to have a select-widget which can increase and decrease in options depending on how the buttons have been pressed. (Observe that for simplicity, I hard-coded to only be able to add the same option and delete the option that is equal to "2"
.)
Although I could not find a solution in Javascript (vanilla), I was able to find a jQuery solution as seen in link .
My codes are also available in CodePen , where one can see in debug mode that the different number options of selectList
change when pressing the buttons.
Apparently, the solution to my case was to add M.FormSelect.init(selectList);
before return
. The codes with the update/solution are available in CodePen .
