Attach AJAX fetched value with Select2

I am trying to attach AJAX fetched value with Select2. My JavaScript code is like below.
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".volunteer").on("click", function (event) {
let element_id = event.target.id;
// Check if select is already loaded
if (!$(this).has("select").length) {
var cellEle = $(this);
// Populate select element
cellEle.html(`<select class="js-example-basic-multiple" multiple="multiple"></select>`);
// Initialise select2
let selectEle = cellEle.children("select").select2({
ajax: {
url: "/wordpressbosta/matt/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
dataType: 'json',
data: function (params) {
return {
q: element_id,
action: 'get_data'
};
},
type: "post",
processResults: function(data) {
var options = [];
if ( data ) {
$.each( data, function( index, text ) {
options.push( { text: text } );
});
}
return {
results: options
};
}
}
});
}
});
});
})(jQuery)
I am getting output like below.
If I click on any value, it is not set to the select box. Values are not working.

Select2 requires that each option has an id property and a text property. In the code above the processResults method is returning an array of objects which contain only a text property, without an id. When adding objects to the array in processResults an id should be included:
options.push({ id: id, text: text });
Details on this format can be found at https://select2.org/data-sources/formats. As per this page:
Blank ids or an id with a value of 0 are not permitted.
You could either use text as the id value if it's unique, or use index + 1 (+ 1 to avoid a value of 0). In the below example code text is used.
processResults: function(data) {
var options = [];
if (data) {
$.each(data, function (index, text) {
options.push({ id: text, text: text });
});
}
return {
results: options
};
}

xeditable & select2 dropdown w/ajax source displaying empty after submitting

I've gotten xeditable and select2 to work with an api call as the source and everything works great EXCEPT the following.
After submitting the select2 dropdown, the value of the table is displayed as EMPTY and requires a page refresh in order to update to the correct value.
Does anyone know how to update the value to the selected select2 dropdown value?
my html:
<td class="eo_role"><a href="#" data-pk={{r.pk}} data-type="select2" data-url="/api/entry/{{r.pk}}/"
data-name="eo_role" data-title="Enter EO_role">{{r.eo_role}}</a></td>
here is my JS:
$('#example .eo_role a').editable( {
params: function(params) { //params already contain `name`, `value` and `pk`
var data = {};
data[params.name] = params.value;
return data;
},
source: 'http://localhost:8000/api/eo_role/select_two_data/',
tpl: '<select></select>',
ajaxOptions: {
type: 'put'
},
select2: {
cacheDatasource:true,
width: '150px',
id: function(pk) {
return pk.id;
},
ajax: {
url: 'http://localhost:8000/api/eo_role/select_two_data/',
dataType: "json",
type: 'GET',
processResults: function(item) {return item;}
}
},
formatSelection: function (item) {
return item.text;
},
formatResult: function (item) {
return item.text;
},
templateResult: function (item) {
return item.text;
},
templateSelection : function (item) {
return item.text;
},
});
Again - everything works (database updates, dropdownlist populates etc.) however the <td> gets updated with "EMPTY" after submitting the dropdown - requiring a page refresh to show the correct value.

I figured out a workaround. I'm SUPER PUMPED.
//outside of everything, EVERYTHING
//test object is a global holding object that is used to hold the selection dropdown lists
//in order to return the correct text.
var test = {};
$('#example .eo_role a').editable( {
params: function(params) { //params already contain `name`, `value` and `pk`
var data = {};
data[params.name] = params.value;
return data;
},
//MUST be there - it won't work otherwise.
tpl: '<select></select>',
ajaxOptions: {
type: 'put'
},
select2: {
width: '150px',
//tricking the code to think its in tags mode (it isn't)
tags:true,
//this is the actual function that triggers to send back the correct text.
formatSelection: function (item) {
//test is a global holding variable set during the ajax call of my results json.
//the item passed here is the ID of selected item. However you have to minus one due zero index array.
return test.results[parseInt(item)-1].text;
},
ajax: {
url: 'http://localhost:8000/api/eo_role/select_two_data/',
dataType: "json",
type: 'GET',
processResults: function(item) {
//Test is a global holding variable for reference later when formatting the selection.
//it gets modified everytime the dropdown is modified. aka super convenient.
test = item;
return item;}
}
},
});

I faced that same issue. I handle it that way:
In x-editable source code look for:
value2html: function(value, element) {
var text = '', data,
that = this;
if(this.options.select2.tags) { //in tags mode just assign value
data = value;
//data = $.fn.editableutils.itemsByValue(value, this.options.select2.tags, this.idFunc);
} else if(this.sourceData) {
data = $.fn.editableutils.itemsByValue(value, this.sourceData, this.idFunc);
} else {
//can not get list of possible values
//(e.g. autotext for select2 with ajax source)
}
As you can see, there is else statment, without any code (only 2 comments) that is the situation, with which we have a problem. My solution is to add missing code:
(...) else {
//can not get list of possible values
//(e.g. autotext for select2 with ajax source)
data = value;
}
That's fix problem without tags mode enabled. I do not detect any unwanted behaviors so far.
Example code:
jQuery('[data-edit-client]').editable({
type: 'select2',
mode: 'inline',
showbuttons: false,
tpl: '<select></select>',
ajaxOptions: {
type: 'POST'
},
select2: {
width: 200,
multiple: false,
placeholder: 'Wybierz klienta',
allowClear: false,
formatSelection: function (item) {
//test is a global holding variable set during the ajax call of my results json.
//the item passed here is the ID of selected item. However you have to minus one due zero index array.
return window.cacheData[parseInt(item)].text;
},
ajax: {
url: system.url + 'ajax/getProjectInfo/',
dataType: 'json',
delay: 250,
cache: false,
type: 'POST',
data: {
projectID: system.project_id,
action: 'getProjectClients',
customer: parseInt(jQuery("[data-edit-client]").attr("data-selected-company-id"))
},
processResults: function (response) {
window.cacheData = response.data.clients;
return {
results: response.data.clients
};
}
}
}
});

jquery Select2: How to add attributes to li element in DropDown

I use the select2 plugin from jquery and get my data over an ajax load. When I set the response I want to add attributes to the li-elements of my dropdown.
I already tried it with calling a function in "templateResult" but there I can only give back the vakue which is IN the <li></li> tags
My javascript:
var autocomplete = function () {
$("body").find("#myDropDown").select2({
language: "es",
ajax: {
url: searchDataUrl,
type: "POST",
// dataType: 'json',
delay: 250,
data: function (params) {
return {
term: params.term, // search term
page: params.page
};
},
processResults: function (data, params) {
return {
results: data.userData,
pagination: {
more: (params.page * 30) < data.total_count
}
};
},
cache: true
},
createTag: function (params) {
var term = $.trim(params.term);
if (term === '') {
return null;
}
return {
id: term,
text: term,
newTag: true // add additional parameters
}
},
escapeMarkup: function (markup) { return markup; },
minimumInputLength: 3,
templateResult: formatReponse, //With this it doesnt work
});
};
And the function from my templateResult Call:
//When I do this, I have a "<li>"-Tag within a "<li>"-Tag
var formatReponse = function (data) {
return '<li data-id="'+data.id+'" class="select2-results__option" role="treeitem">'+data.text+'</li>';
};
Can anybody help me with this? THANKS!

use the .attr(att,val) function like this:
Give your <li> an id name like liID in <li id='liID'> the following example
then give the name of the attribute you want to change in the example given as attributeToChange then give the value you want to set in the atribute in the example: valueToSet. good luck
$('#liID').attr('attributeToChange', 'valueToSet');

Select2 load default Value in single select elements using remote data

Im using jquery Select2, select2 works perfectly fine. but what i want that when page loads a default value should be loaded from controller.
Yes i already did google and yes this question have been posted many times and i cant quite get my head around it.. so thats why i need help in this.
Here is the select2 js coding:
/*----------- Select2 DropDown Common Script -------------------------*/
//For ServerSide Script
function commonSelect2(selector,url,id,text,minInputLength,placeholder){
selector.select2({
minimumInputLength:minInputLength,
placeholder:placeholder,
ajax: {
type:"post",
url: url,
dataType: 'json',
quietMillis: 100,
data: function(term, page) {
return {
term: term, //search term
page_limit: 10 // page size
};
},
initSelection : function (element, callback) {
var data = {id: element.val(), text: element.val()};
callback(data);
},
results: function(data, page) {
var newData = [];
$.each(data, function (index,value) {
newData.push({
id: value[id], //id part present in data
text: value[text] //string to be displayed
});
});
return { results: newData };
}
}
});
}
and here how i calls it from php file
{{*The Selector for Selecting the User Group*}}
var selector = $('#selectGroup');
var url = "{{base_url()}}admin/usersManageUsers/loadAllUserGroups/";
var id = "GroupID";
var text = "GroupName";
var minInputLength = 0;
var placeholder = "Select User Group";
commonSelect2(selector,url,id,text,minInputLength,placeholder);
//End of the CommonSelect2 function
I have added the initselection() function, but i don't know if i did wrote it correctly?
and in end i added this in html select2 hidden input tag.
I have tried to search on net, but looks like i am getting no where.

My Mistake.
i defined initSelection inside the ajax. Should have defined it outside ajax.
now defined initSelection() after the ajax
ajax: {
type:"post",
url: url,
dataType: 'json',
quietMillis: 100,
data: function(term, page) {
return {
term: term, //search term
page_limit: 10 // page size
};
},
results: function(data, page) {
var newData = [];
$.each(data, function (index,value) {
newData.push({
id: value[id], //id part present in data
text: value[text] //string to be displayed
});
});
return { results: newData };
}
},
initSelection : function (element, callback) {
var data = {id: element.val(), text: element.val()};
callback(data);
}

Select2 preloaded tags in Select2 input box

I have a Select2 input that is working great. The user can start typing and select an option from the dropdown menu and it adds a tag into the input field, they can also create their own tags thanks to the createSearchChoice function.
My scenario is when a user types in a customer's name who already exists, it locks on, and I want it to populate the field with tags (usual suppliers). The user can then delete or add more tags if they want.
My code is:
$('#usualSuppliers').select2({
containerCssClass: 'supplierTags',
placeholder: "Usual suppliers...",
minimumInputLength: 2,
multiple: true,
placeholder: 'Usual suppliers...',
createSearchChoice: function(term, data) {
if ($(data).filter(function() {
return this.name.localeCompare(term) === 0;
}).length === 0) {
return {id: 0, name: term};
}
},
id: function(e) {
return e.id + ":" + e.name;
},
ajax: {
url: ROOT + 'Ajax',
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
data: function(term, page) {
return {
call: 'Record->supplierHelper',
q: term
};
},
results: function(data, page) {
return {
results: data.suppliers
};
}
},
formatResult: formatResult,
formatSelection: formatSelection,
initSelection: function(element, callback) {
var data = [];
$(element.val().split(",")).each(function(i) {
var item = this.split(':');
data.push({
id: item[0],
title: item[1]
});
});
//$(element).val('');
callback(data);
}
});
How can I make it pre-populate the input with tags that come in from an Ajax request?

I managed to solve the issue thanks to this post:
