Tom Select


















Tom Select is a dynamic, framework agnostic, and lightweight (~16kb gzipped) <select> UI control.

With autocomplete and native-feeling keyboard navigation, it's useful for tagging, contact lists, country selectors, and so on.

Tom Select was forked from [selectize.js](https://tom-select.js.org/docs/selectize.js/) with the goal of modernizing the code base, decoupling from jQuery, and expanding functionality.

### Features

- **Smart Option Searching / Ranking**
Options are efficiently scored and sorted on-the-fly (using [sifter](https://github.com/orchidjs/sifter.js)). Want to search an item's title *and* description? No problem.

- **Caret between items**
Order matters sometimes. With the Caret Position Plugin, you can use the ← and → arrow keys to move between selected items

- **Select & delete multiple items at once**
Hold down command 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.

- **Extensible**
 [Plugin API](https://tom-select.js.org/docs/plugins/) for developing custom features (uses [microplugin](https://github.com/brianreavis/microplugin.js)).

- **Accessible**, **Touch Support**, **Clean API**, ...
