Selectize is an extensible [jQuery](http://jquery.com/)-based custom ``; UI control. It's useful for tagging, contact lists, country selectors, and so on. The goal is to provide a solid & usable experience with a clean and powerful API.



- [Demos](https://selectize.dev/docs/demos)

- [Changelog](https://github.com/selectize/selectize.js/releases)

- [Documentation](https://selectize.dev/docs/api)



## Features



- **Smart Option Searching / Ranking**

  Options are efficiently scored and sorted on-the-fly (using [sifter](https://github.com/brianreavis/sifter.js)). Want to search for an item's title _and_ description? No problem.

- **Caret between items**

  Order matters sometimes. Use the ← and → arrow keys to move between selected items.

- **Select & delete multiple items at once**

  Hold down option on Mac or ctrl on Windows to select more than one item to delete.

- **Díåcritîçs supported**

  Great for international environments.

- **Item creation**

  Allow users to create items on the fly (async saving is supported; the control locks until the callback is fired).

- **Remote data loading**

  For when you have thousands of options and want them provided by the server as the user types.

- **Clean API & code**

  Interface with it and make modifications easily. Pull requests are always welcome!

- **Extensible**

  [Plugin API](docs/plugins.md) for developing custom features (uses [microplugin](https://github.com/brianreavis/microplugin.js)).

- **Touch Support**

  Plays nice with iOS 5+ devices.



### Dependencies



- [jquery](https://github.com/jquery/jquery) (1.7 and greater), as [peer dependency](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/npm/peer-dependencies/)

  - **Note:** it is installed automatically in development, or in projects using NPM 1 or 2. When using NPM from version 3 on, just a warning is thrown and the user needs to manually install an explicit version in their own project (e.g. `npm install --save [email protected]`).



**Optional:**



- [jquery-ui](https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui) (required by `drag_drop` plugin)



### Installation



Selectize can be installed via NPM `npm install @selectize/selectize`



#### Installing Manually



All pre-built files needed to use Selectize can be found in the

["dist"](dist/) folder.



If you're looking to get started with minimal fuss, include

`selectize.min.js` (bundles Sifter and Microplugin

dependencies – also available un-minified for debugging, just remove the

`.min` part) and `css/selectize.default.css`.



Selectize is available at [cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/selectize.js).

### Usage



```js

$("select").selectize(options);

```



The available options are [documented here](https://selectize.dev/docs/api).



### Contributing



When issuing a pull request:



- please **do not include/commit changes in the `dist/` or `lib/` folders** to avoid

  merge conflicts. A good way to include the right files is to use

  `git gui` or `git add` when committing to select the files you want to

  add to your commit.



- please **include tests** with your feature so that we're not tempted to

  break it in the future!



Add an entry to the top of the CHANGELOG, and update the documentation

in `docs/` as needed. (Refactors and documentation changes don't need a

changelog entry.)



Squash your commits together in one or a few complete, logical commits,

with a concise and descriptive message. One commit means one

feature/bugfix/thing that has changed, or a diff bringing the code one

step forward to a better, working state.



Once your commit is nice and clean, and you want to _discard the other

changes_, you can use `git checkout .` (that will erase changes to

tracked files) and `git clean [-i/--interactive]` (to erase untracked

files). **However, be careful with those commands, as their function

is to erase things/changes.**



However, be careful not to add the `dist/` files in your commit, as

Grunt automatically regenerates the files in `dist/` as the source is

changed.



#### Tests



Please ensure all the tests pass:



```sh

npm test # defaults to ChromHeadless

BROWSERS=Firefox npm test

BROWSERS=Firefox,Chrome npm test

BROWSERS=Firefox,Chrome,Safari npm test

```



#### Local environment



To run Selectize locally:



```sh

npm start

```



You can then run the examples at `https://loopback.website:4000/`.
