# vanillaSelectBox v 0.58
### A nice select/multiselect ui with no dependency

### New : you can use the discussions page to help me improve this little tool or even suggest other plugins

### vanillaSelectBox is not currently in v1+, please test it carefully before using it in production (interactions with other plugins, css) and be kind enough to report any bug to me so I can improve it. 

I think one improvement would be to integrate the css as style tags because there are still css interferences between the document and vanillaSelectBox

What do you think ?

### Transform an HTML select into a selectBox dropdown
#### the select is hidden and the chosen value(s) is/are available in the source select

```
let selectBox = new vanillaSelectBox("#brands",{"maxHeight":200,search:true});
```
* param 1 : css selector of a normal select element
* param 2 : options 

### Available options : 
* maxWidth : for the UI if you don't want the title to expand to much to the right
* minWidth : for the UI if you don't want the title to be to narrow (combining both, you've got a fixed width)
* maxHeight : the maxHeight set a scroll when there are too many items 
* translations : { "all": "Tous", "items": "éléments","selectAll":"Tout sélectionner","clearAll":"Effacer"}
* search : true/false, to provide a search input text to reduce the list
* placeHolder : well that's a placeholder !
* stayOpen : true/false. defaut is false : that's a drop-down. Set it to true and that"s a list (>= v 0.25)
* disableSelectAll : true/false. defaut is false : add a checkbox select all / clear all

### Automatic options :
* single or multiple choices : depends on the "multiple" attribute that you put in the select code 
* size : if you set a multiple attribute and a size attribute in the select (for instance 3) :
  * the title zone will enumerate the chosen values as a comma separated string until it reaches "size"
  * Above it will show "x items" or "x" + whatever you put in the translations.items key
  * If all the items are selected, it will show "all" or whatever you put in the translations.items all

```
<select id="brands" multiple size="3">
```
#### Result :

### Available commands :
* empty()
* setValue([] || '' || 'all') => the multiple uses an array of values or a comma separated string or the string 'all'
* disable()
* enable()
* destroy()
* enableItems([] || '') => array of values or comma delimited list
* disableItems([] || '') => array of values or comma delimited list
```
selectBox = new vanillaSelectBox("#brandsOne", { "maxHeight": 200, "search": true, "placeHolder": "Choose a brand..." });
selectBox.disableItems(['Lamborghini','Land Rover']);
```
#### History : 

v0.58 : Bug fixes

v0.57 : Bug fix (minWidth option not honored)

v0.56 : The multiselect checkboxes are a little smaller, maxWidth option is now working + added minWidth option as well
        The button has now a style attribute to protect its appearance 

v0.55 : All attributes from the original select options are copied to the selectBox element.
        Excepted => "selected","disabled","data-text","data-value","style"
        
v0.54 : if all the options of the select are selected by the user then the check all checkbox is checked.

v0.53 : if all the options of the select are selected then the check all checkbox is checked => see demo "select all test"

v0.52 : Better support of select('all') => command is consistent with checkbox and selecting / deselecting while searching select / uncheck only the found items

v0.51 : Translations for select all/clear all + minor css corrections + don't select disabled items

v0.50 : PR by https://github.com/jaguerra2017 adding a select all/clear all check button + optgroup support !

v 0.41 : Bug corrected, the menu content was misplaced if a css transform was applied on a parent

v 0.40 : A click on one selectBox close the other opened boxes

v 0.35 : You can enable and disable items. The already disble options of the select are also used at init time.

v 0.30 : The menu stops moving around on window resize and scroll + z-index in order of creation for multiple instances

v 0.26 : Corrected bug in stayOpen mode with disable() function

v 0.25 : New option stayOpen, and the dropbox is no longer a dropbox but a nice multi-select
