enhanced-select v1.0.26

ESelect

ESelect is a JavaScript plugin that provides an enhanced alternative to the classic HTML \ element. It allows for additional features such as custom "other" fields, tagging, and more, while also manipulating the DOM to deliver a more intuitive and interactive user experience. This project is open source and available on GitHub.

Important Note

ESelect can only be used if it goes through a module bundler or in any JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, etc. Make sure to integrate ESelect accordingly for seamless integration. If you want to use it in vanilla js then make use of the js or ts code in GitHub.

Features

• Custom 'Other' Field: Allow users to type a custom value when they don't find a suitable option in the dropdown.
• Tagging: Users can tag their selections for more visibility and easier access to choices. Additionally, a character limit for tags ensures concise displays.
• Dynamic Sorting: Keeps the dropdown options sorted for better organization, ensuring a consistent user experience.
• DOM Manipulation: Modifies the original \ element for enhanced behavior without changing your existing markup, making integration seamless.
• Customization: Easily style the enhanced select to match your application's look and feel. Customize the splitter for tags, character limit, and other option indicator according to your needs.
• Pre Selection: Pre selects the options that must be selected by default.
