I'm Using Select2-rails '3.5.3, I can do search with remote data and save it, the problem is how I can restore the selected text (for example if user press edit), problem: initSelection is not fired when form loaded with edit
below is my code
hotelcheck.coffee
$('.select2-autocomplete').each (i, e) ->
select = $(e)
options = {
multiple: false
width: "98%"
placeholder: "Type Hotel name"
minimumInputLength: 3
}
options.ajax =
url: select.data('source')
dataType: 'json'
type: "GET"
quietMillis: 250
# input untuk program
data: (term, page) ->
{ q: term,
page: page,
per: 25 }
results: (data) ->
{ results: $.map(data, (item) ->
{
text: item.name
id: item.id
}
) }
initSelection: (element, callback) ->
id = $(element).val()
if id != ''
$.ajax('/hotels/' + id + '.json', dataType: 'json').done (data) ->
selected =
id: element.val()
text: data.name
callback selected
return
return
options.dropdownCssClass = 'bigdrop'
select.select2 options
form to show hidden field, I save the content to hotel_id
<%= f.hidden_field :hotel_id, data: { source: search_name_hotels_path }, class: "select2-autocomplete", :value => "#{f.object.hotel_id unless f.object.new_record? || f.object.hotel_id.nil? }" %>
hotel controller for ajax send the value
def show
@hotel = Hotel.find(params[:id])
puts "running fill name"
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: @hotel }
end
end
From this page, it looks like initSelection
should NOT be in options.ajax
, but just in options
. I would try to copy the example they have and edit it to your needs. OR update to 4.0.0
, which seems to be much easier.
