Multi-Property Sorting

With the new sifter v0.3 integration, you can now sort results by multiple fields. The "sortDirection" setting has been removed.

sortField: [
    {field: 'first_name', direction: 'asc'},
    {field: 'last_name', direction: 'asc'}
]

Special Fields

"$score"	A number representing how good of a match an item is for the current search.
"$order"	The original index of an option in a <select> before selectize was initialized.

0.7.7

• Fixed addOptionGroup() ("value" not defined exception).
• Fixed getItem() and getOption() to handle values with backslashes properly.

0.7.6

• Fix for original select option order not always being respected #108.
• Fix from @bawigga for #112 (fixes Array.isArray polyfill).

0.7.0

Features

• Modularized components. Separates concerns, improves testability, allows development to diverge, and allows code to be shared with other libraries.
  • sifter — Filtering and sorting.
  • microplugin — Plugin system.
• LESS Stylesheets. With a comprehensive set of variables, skinning is orders of magnitude easier. Furthermore, plugins can take advantage of theme-specific settings.
  • Added shims for Bootstrap 2 and Bootstrap 3.
• All build files now live in the "dist" folder.
• New Grunt-based build system.

API

• Added destroy() method (#35).
• Removed the "theme" setting. All it did was add an extra class to the control. If you want the same functionality, just add a class to the <select> you're selectizing.
• Removed the need to pass the value when adding options via addOption(value, data). Now it's simple: addOption(data). The value is extracted from the data automatically, according to the "valueField" setting.

0.6.13

• The dropdown is now repositioned on scroll to allow for scenarios where the control is contained within a position: fixed element
• Bug fix for control receiving focus after addItem() calls (#66)
• Bug fix for items not being re-rendered after updateOption() calls if the value of the option changes (edge case)
