I need to hide/show a certain option group (<optgroup>
) conditionally and I've tried the top solution from this question - Select2: Hide certain options dynamically
It hides every option (as required), but group title stays visible, although it has no child items. How to hide the whole option group in select2?
I think you can disable <optgroup>
in Select2 only using data array source, not using options in HTML.
See issues on Select2 github repo:
Here is a snippet which exemplifies the two approach:
var data = [{
text: 'group1',
children: [{
id: '1',
text: 'option 1'
}, {
id: '2',
text: 'option 2',
disabled: false,
}, {
id: '3',
text: 'option 3',
disabled: true,
}]
},
{
text: 'group2',
disabled: true,
children: [{
id: '4',
text: 'option 4',
disabled: true,
}, {
id: '5',
text: 'option 5'
}]
}];
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#test').select2({ data: data, });
$('#test2').select2();
});
var group2Disabled = true;
toggleGroup2 = function() {
group2Disabled = !group2Disabled;
console.log("toggleGroup2", group2Disabled);
var gr2 = data.find(findGroup2);
gr2.disabled = !gr2.disabled;
$('#test').empty().select2({data:data}).trigger("change");
}
function findGroup2(el) {
return el.text === 'group2';
}
select {
width: 40%;
}
