Displaying icons in options list

[belgarion16]

Hi!
Thank you first of all for this great work and for sharing it.
I'm just getting a hard time trying to add icons to the options.
None of these will work :

My Option 1 My Option 2

Is there any way to display icons from font awesome or glyphicons at the left of an option element?

Thank you by advance for your help

All the best

Aurelien

You need to make a couple of changes but you should be able to use this, I created to it to use bootstrap badges. When you create your select options, you add data-class="ENTER CLASSES HERE"

You then need to change a few things in nice-select.js:

$(document).on('click.nice_select', '.nice-select .option:not(.disabled)', function(event) {
      var $option = $(this);
      var $dropdown = $option.closest('.nice-select');
      $dropdown.find('.selected').removeClass('selected');
      $option.addClass('selected');
      var text = $option.data('display') || $option.html();
      $dropdown.find('.current').html(text);
      $dropdown.prev('select').val($option.data('value')).trigger('change');
});

and also update the create function

function create_nice_select($select) {
      $select.after($('<div></div>')
        .addClass('nice-select')
        .addClass($select.attr('class') || '')
        .addClass($select.attr('disabled') ? 'disabled' : '')
        .attr('tabindex', $select.attr('disabled') ? null : '0')
        .html('<span class="current"></span><ul class="list"></ul>')
      );
        
      var $dropdown = $select.next();
      var $options = $select.find('option');
      var $selected = $select.find('option:selected');
      var selected_class_attr = $selected.attr('data-class');
      var selected_html = $selected.html();
        if (typeof selected_class_attr !== typeof undefined && selected_class_attr !== false) {
          selected_html = '<span class="' + selected_class_attr + '">' + $selected.text() + '</span>';
        }

      $dropdown.find('.current').html($selected.data('display') || selected_html );
      
      $options.each(function(i) {
        var $option = $(this);
        var display = $option.data('display');
        var option_html = $option.text();
        var class_attr = $(this).attr('data-class');
        if (typeof class_attr !== typeof undefined && class_attr !== false) {
            option_html = '<span class="' + class_attr + '">' + $option.text() + '</span>';
        }

        $dropdown.find('ul').append($('<li></li>')
          .attr('data-value', $option.val())
          .attr('data-display', (display || null))
          .addClass('option' +
            ($option.is(':selected') ? ' selected' : '') +
            ($option.is(':disabled') ? ' disabled' : ''))
          .html(option_html)
        );
      });
}

yo hice lo mismo pero reconociendo el data-html en la etiqueta del option
<option data-html="<i class='fas fa-times'></i> Lista"> Lista</option>

y cambia las funciones

function create_nice_select($select) {
      $select.after($('<div></div>')
        .addClass('nice-select')
        .addClass($select.attr('class') || '')
        .addClass($select.attr('disabled') ? 'disabled' : '')
        .attr('tabindex', $select.attr('disabled') ? null : '0')
        .html('<span class="current"></span><ul class="list"></ul>')
      );
        
      var $dropdown = $select.next();
      var $options = $select.find('option');
      var $selected = $select.find('option:selected');
      
      $dropdown.find('.current').html($selected.data('html') || $selected.text());
      
      $options.each(function(i) {
        var $option = $(this);
        var display = $option.data('display');
        var html = $option.data('html');

        $dropdown.find('ul').append($('<li></li>')
          .attr('data-value', $option.val())
          .attr('data-display', (display || null))
          .addClass('option' +
            ($option.is(':selected') ? ' selected' : '') +
            ($option.is(':disabled') ? ' disabled' : ''))
          .html(html || $option.text())
        );
      });
    }

$(document).on('click.nice_select', '.nice-select .option:not(.disabled)', function(event) {
      var $option = $(this);
      var $dropdown = $option.closest('.nice-select');
      
      $dropdown.find('.selected').removeClass('selected');
      $option.addClass('selected');
      
      var text = $option.data('display') || $option.html();
      $dropdown.find('.current').html(text);
      $dropdown.prev('select').val($option.data('value')).trigger('change');
    });

espero que te sirva
