Selectize is an extensible [jQuery](http://jquery.com/)-based custom &lt;select&gt; UI control. It's useful for tagging, contact lists, country selectors, and so on. It clocks in at around ~7kb (gzipped). The goal is to provide a solid & usable experience with a clean and powerful API.

### Features

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

### Dependencies

- [jquery](https://github.com/jquery/jquery) (1.7 and greater)
- [sifter](https://github.com/brianreavis/sifter.js) (bundled in ["standalone" build](dist/js/standalone))
- [microplugin](https://github.com/brianreavis/microplugin.js) (bundled in ["standalone" build](dist/js/standalone))

### Installation and files

All pre-built files needed to use Selectize can be found in the
["dist"](dist/) folder.

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

Selectize is available at [cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/selectize.js).

### Usage

```js
$('select').selectize(options);
```

The available options are [documented here](docs/usage.md).

#### IE8 Support

To support Internet Explorer 8, [es5-shim](https://github.com/kriskowal/es5-shim/) must be added your page.

```html
<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/es5-shim/2.0.8/es5-shim.min.js"></script><![endif]-->
```

### Custom Builds

By default, all [plugins](src/plugins) are included. To hand-pick what plugins (if any) to include, run [`grunt`](http://gruntjs.com/) with the "--plugins" flag. After this completes, grab the files you need from the ["dist"](dist) folder.

```sh
# dependencies
npm install

# build selectize
grunt --plugins=
grunt --plugins=*
grunt --plugins=remove_button,restore_on_backspace
```

### Contributing
When issuing a pull request:

* please **do not include/commit changes in the `dist/` folder** 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.**


#### 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 in `http://localhost:8000/examples/`.

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.
