An alternative to the Chozen Select Boxes Jquery Plugin | BSelect

How to make use of it:

1. Import the Stylesheet bselect.css and JavaScript bselect.js into the HTML.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="bselect.css" />
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.bselect.js"></script>

2. Create a container aspect to carry the dropdown choose.

<div id="custom-select"></div>

3. Prepare the info as follows.

var myData = {
    1 : "Angular", 
    2 : "jQueryScript", 
    3 : "React", 
    4 : "Vue.js"
};

4. Call the function on the placeholder aspect and populate the dropdown with choices outlined within the myData object.

$('#custom-select').bselect({
  data : myData
});

5. Customize the dropdown by overriding the next choices.

$('#custom-select').bselect({

  // enable/disable live search
  search : true,

  // the width of the dropdown
  width : "200px",

  // custom placeholder text
  defaultText : "Select me",

  // additional CSS classes
  className : "",

  // input name
  inputName : "bselect-input",

  // selected index on init
  selected : 0,

  // open the dropdown on init
  opened : false,

  // close the dropdown after an options is selected
  closeOnSelect : true,

  // render dropdown list above the select element if dropdown will not be in view
  checkInView : true,

  // enable multiple select
  multiple : false,

  // close on select
  closeOnSelect : true,

  // enable/disable ellipsis
  elipsis : true,

  // in ms
  focusDelay : 100,

  // in ms
  doneTypingInterval : 180,

  // How many items will be previewd in a dropdown
  preview : 150 

});

6. API strategies.

// open the dropdown
$('#custom-select').bselect("open");

// close the dropdown
$('#custom-select').bselect("close");

// toggle the dropdown
$('#custom-select').bselect("toggle");

// select an option by ID
$('#custom-select').bselect("selectById", 2);

// get the selected option
$('#custom-select').bselect("getSelected");

// append a new option
$('#custom-select').bselect("append", 4, "HTML5");

// prepend an option
$('#custom-select').bselect("prepend", 5, "CSS3");

// remove an item
$('#custom-select').bselect("remove", 3);

// disable click on item
$('#custom-select').bselect("disable", 3)

// get disabled
$('#select-box').bselect("getDisabled");

// disable all elements
$('#select-box').bselect("disableAll");

// disable an option
$('#select-box').bselect("disabled", 8);

// enable an option
$('#select-box').bselect("enable", 8);

// enable all options
$('#select-box').bselect("enableAll");

// is selected option

// select all
$('#select-box').bselect("selectAll")

// deselect all
$('#select-box').bselect("deselectAll")

// deselect item 
$('#select-box').bselect("deselect", 8);

  // on open
});

$('#custom-select').on('opened.bselect', function(e,params){
  // after open
});
