[Query] Is there a way to use Select2 instead of select out of the box?

[skills-up]

Hi,

After going through the example video I'm wondering if Select2 is supported, as the default template appears to use bootstrap framework.

If we can specify select2 instead of select in html-type, and it can generate corresponding select2 code in the views (with search and tags etc) then it will be great.

Thanks,

I never used select2. However, I believe all you need to to create your field with a specific class. Then using js to initialize select2() instance using that class.

For example, in the resource-file, find a field where you want to use select2() and add class called “select2” to the classes attribute. Then you can active it after the page finished loading. This may be one way to initialize it using jQuery

$(function(){
     $(‘.select2’).select2();
});

I hope this helps
