Bootstrap 5 support

[pchaganti]

Trying to instantiate a new bootstrap select when using BS5 gives this error. I realize BS5 is still alpha but this is something to keep an eye on. Hopefully it is a simple fix in the constructor.

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'C.dropdown._menu=C.$menu[0]')

thanks

Looks like this has to do with Bootstrap 5 dropping jQuery, so some of the variables/methods will have to be accessed differently.

@caseyjhol are there any plans to support Bootstrap 5 ?

I definitely want to support Bootstrap 5 and offer a version without jQuery as a dependency. I've already begun removing jQuery code and replacing it with native JS where possible. It'll be much easier to support/maintain once IE < 11 support is dropped, since we won't be as limited and will be able to remove most of the polyfills. I'm thinking that might be a more realistic goal for bootstrap-select v3.0.0, though.

Making this the thread to discuss Bootstrap 5 support.

Do you plan add suopport bootstrap 5?

Please do not spam the maintainer.
It's better practice to react to the original question (thumbs) if you want to manifest an interest.

bootstrap 5 needs you

There was an issue retrieving Bootstrap's version. Ensure Bootstrap is being loaded before bootstrap-select and there is no namespace collision. If loading Bootstrap asynchronously, the version may need to be manually specified via $.fn.selectpicker.Constructor.BootstrapVersion. TypeError: Cannot read property 'Constructor' of undefined
at S.fn.init.Plugin [as selectpicker] (bootstrap-select.js:3413)

Yes, I'm working on this. twbs/bootstrap#30267 is causing me some issues currently, as I can't add a click listener to the button.
