Features

- Smart Option Searching / Ranking
Options are efficiently scored and sorted on-the-fly (using sifter). Want to search for an item's title _and_ description? No problem.
- Caret between items
Order matters sometimes. Use the ← and → arrow keys to move between selected items.
- Select & delete multiple items at once
Hold down option on Mac or ctrl on Windows to select more than one item to delete.
- Díåcritîçs supported
Great for international environments.
- Item creation
Allow users to create items on the fly (async saving is supported; the control locks until the callback is fired).
- Remote data loading
For when you have thousands of options and want them provided by the server as the user types.
- Clean API & code
Interface with it and make modifications easily. Pull requests are always welcome!
- Extensible
Plugin API for developing custom features (uses microplugin).
- Touch Support
Plays nice with iOS 5+ devices.

$3

- jquery (1.7 and greater), as peer dependency
- Note: it is installed automatically in development, or in projects using NPM 1 or 2. When using NPM from version 3 on, just a warning is thrown and the user needs to manually install an explicit version in their own project (e.g. npm install --save jquery@3.5.1).

Optional:

- jquery-ui (required by drag_drop plugin)

$3

Selectize can be installed via NPM npm install @selectize/selectize

#### Installing Manually

All pre-built files needed to use Selectize can be found in the
"dist" folder.

If you're looking to get started with minimal fuss, include
selectize.min.js (bundles Sifter and Microplugin
dependencies – also available un-minified for debugging, just remove the
.min part) and css/selectize.default.css.

Selectize is available at cdnjs.

When issuing a pull request:

- please do not include/commit changes in the dist/ or lib/ folders to avoid
merge conflicts. A good way to include the right files is to use
git gui or git add when committing to select the files you want to
add to your commit.

- please include tests with your feature so that we're not tempted to
break it in the future!

Add an entry to the top of the CHANGELOG, and update the documentation
in docs/ as needed. (Refactors and documentation changes don't need a
changelog entry.)

Squash your commits together in one or a few complete, logical commits,
with a concise and descriptive message. One commit means one
feature/bugfix/thing that has changed, or a diff bringing the code one
step forward to a better, working state.

Once your commit is nice and clean, and you want to _discard the other
changes_, you can use git checkout . (that will erase changes to
tracked files) and git clean [-i/--interactive] (to erase untracked
files). **However, be careful with those commands, as their function
is to erase things/changes.**

However, be careful not to add the dist/ files in your commit, as
Grunt automatically regenerates the files in dist/ as the source is
changed.

#### Tests

Please ensure all the tests pass:

`sh
npm test # phantomjs
BROWSERS=Firefox npm test
BROWSERS=Firefox,Chrome npm test
BROWSERS=Firefox,Chrome,Safari npm test
`

#### Local environment

To run Selectize locally:

`sh
npm start
`

You can then run the examples at http://localhost:4000/`.
