#Select2 for Rails asset pipeline

Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.

This repo is a continuation of the dead select2-rails project.

The select2_rails gem integrates the Select2 jQuery plugin with the Rails asset pipeline.

Add select2_rails to your Gemfile and run bundle install:

gem "select2_rails"

Add the following to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require select2

alternatively, for the full build:

//= require select2.full

Add to your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css:

*= require select2

If you are using Twitter Boostrap you need to also require the bootstrap theme CSS in addition to the above require.

*= require select2-bootstrap

To apply the theme, tell Select2 to do so by passing bootstrap to the theme option when initializing Select2:

$( "#dropdown" ).select2({
    theme: "bootstrap"
});

The select2_rails now supports multiple languages.

Add the following to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require select2_locale_"any possible language"

Possible languages:

az, bg, ca, cs, da, de, en, es, et, eu, fi, fr, gl, hi, hr, hu, id, is, it, lt, lv, mk, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, pt, ro, ru, sk, sr, sv, th, tr, uk, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW

IE8 doesn't support some unescaped Unicode character and need to quote keys in object literals You need some configurations for Uglifier to do the work. Add to your config/environments/production.rb

   require 'uglifier'
   config.assets.js_compressor = Uglifier.new(output: {ascii_only: true, quote_keys: true})
