[Resolved] Make the toolset form generic field be searchable

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to integrate the select2 dropdowns for their Toolset forms Generic fields.

Solution:

This can be done by importing the select2 javascript and css library.

Add the following to your custom code snippets at Toolset->Settings-> Custom Code and activate it.

wp_enqueue_script('select2_js', '//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/select2@4.1.0-rc.0/dist/js/select2.min.js', array(), null, true);
wp_enqueue_style( 'select2_css', '//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/select2@4.1.0-rc.0/dist/css/select2.min.css' );

From there you will need to add the following JS to your Form's JS section to enable the select2 for your field.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  jQuery('.class-goes-here').select2();
});

Now you will need to replace 'class-goes-here' with the ID/Class of the custom field that is generated on the frontend.

For further information on the usage of Select2 I recommend looking at the documentation below.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a generic field in toolset form, this generic field is a select type and option is generated from a wpv-view

[cred_generic_field type='select' field='product-select']
{
"required":1,
"default":[ "Please select" ],
"options":[ [wpv-view name="product-list-json"] ]
}
[/cred_generic_field]</td>

How can I make this select field same as invoice field which can be searchable?
The invoice field is

[cred_field field='@additional-items.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='--- Please select invoice number ---' required='true']

Hi Kelvin,

In order for you to achieve this you will need to make use of the select2 functions. Unfortunately this isn't something that is included natively with our Toolset plugins and you will need to import it to your site.

The first thing you will need to do is to add the scripts for select2. Add the following to your custom code snippets at Toolset->Settings-> Custom Code and activate it.

wp_enqueue_script('select2_js', '//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/select2@4.1.0-rc.0/dist/js/select2.min.js', array(), null, true);
wp_enqueue_style( 'select2_css', '//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/select2@4.1.0-rc.0/dist/css/select2.min.css' );

From there you will need to add the following JS to your Form's JS section to enable the select2 for your field.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('.class-goes-here').select2();
});

Now you will need to replace 'class-goes-here' with the ID/Class of the custom field that is generated on the frontend.
For further information on the usage of Select2 I recommend looking at the documentation below.
