How can I get selected values from Bootstrap multiple selectpicker?

Question

Here is my select element and it has multiple attribute;

<select id="dd-personnels" onchange="personnelChange()" asp-items="Model.Personnels" multiple data-max-options="1" class="form-control form-control-sm selectpicker"></select>

Here is my code to initialize a selectpicker from select above;

$('.selectpicker').selectpicker({ liveSearch: true });

How can I get selected values in the onchange of the select?

Answer 1

Even if inline event handler is a bad practice you need to add two keywords to your inline:

<select id="dd-personnels" onchange="personnelChange(this, event)" ....

Now your function is:

function personnelChange(ele, event) {
   var val = $(ele).selectpicker('val');
   console.log(val);
}

For details you can take a look to the documentation

The snippet:

 function personnelChange(ele, event) { var val = $(ele).selectpicker('val'); console.log(val); } $('#dd-personnels').selectpicker({ liveSearch: true });
