angular-selectize2

This is an Angular.js directive for Brian Reavis's selectize jQuery plugin (http://brianreavis.github.io/selectize.js/). It supports 2-way model binding, ng-required, and 2-way binding of the options.

I decided to adapt Selectize for Angular after being disatisfied with the performance of ui-select2 when there were many options on the page.

##Please Note! Add the directive to <div> elements. It will not work with <select> because of conflicts with ngOptions.

Requirements

• AngularJS
• JQuery
• Selectize

Install

We use bower for dependency management. Install Angular-selectize into your project by running the command

$ bower install angular-selectize2

If you use a bower.json file in your project, you can have Bower save angular-selectize2 as a dependency by passing the --save or --save-dev flag with the above command.

This will copy the angular-selectize2 files into your bower_components folder, along with its dependencies. Load the script files in your application:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/selectize/dist/css/selectize.default.css ">
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/selectize/dist/js/standalone/selectize.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/angular-selectize2/dist/selectize.js"></script>

(Note that jquery must be loaded before angular so that it doesn't use jqLite internally)

Add the selectize module as a dependency to your application module:

var myAppModule = angular.module('MyApp', ['selectize']);

Usage

Setup your controller variables:

$scope.myModel = 1;

$scope.myOptions = [
  {id: 1, title: 'Spectrometer'},
  {id: 2, title: 'Star Chart'},
  {id: 3, title: 'Laser Pointer'}
];

$scope.config = {
  create: true,
  valueField: 'id',
  labelField: 'title',
  delimiter: '|',
  placeholder: 'Pick something'
  // maxItems: 1
}

Add the select element to your view template:

<div selectize="config" options='myOptions' ng-model="myModel"></div>

##Config Theoretically, all of the config options from the original selectize should work. But I have not been able to test them all.

• Selectize config options
• Selectize API

Simple select

$scope.myModel = 'red';

$scope.myOptions = ['red','yellow','black','white'];

$scope.config = {
  maxItems: 1
}

Inline Config

<div selectize="{create:true, maxItems:10}" options='myOptions' ng-model="myModel"></div>

Tag editor

$scope.myModel = 1;

$scope.myOptions = [
  {value: 1, text: 'Spectrometer'},
  {value: 2, text: 'Star Chart'},
  {value: 3, text: 'Laser Pointer'}
];

$scope.config = {
  create: true
}

##Global Defaults To define global defaults, you can configure the selectize injectable:

MyApp.value('selectizeConfig', {
  delimiter: '|'
});
