I use the following snippet to add a new select2 tag remotely with ajax and I want to register or remove some records of my many to many table on new tag / remove tag event
The Table looks like
---------------------------------
+--voucher_id--+|+--product_id--+
---------------------------------
+ 123 | 566 +
---------------------------------
+ 156 | 566 +
---------------------------------
+ 123 | 426 +
---------------------------------
+ 156 | 516 +
---------------------------------
My Javascript
$(".e6").select2({
tags: true,
placeholder: 'placeholder',
minimumInputLength: 1,
ajax: {
url: 'searchProducts',
dataType: 'json',
data: function(term) {
return {q: term};
},
results: function(data) {
return {results: data};
}
},
createSearchChoice: function(term, data) {
if ($(data).filter(function() {
return this.computername.localeCompare(term) === 0;
}).length === 0) {
return {id: term, name: term};
}
},
formatResult: function(item, page) {
return item.computername;
},
formatSelection: function(item, page) {
return item.computername;
}
});
In the returned json I have a product ID as well and I'm searching a way to fire a new ajax on select2 event but I can't figure out where should be done to save or remove data from my table.
Making some researches I've been able to build a function which would update records on the table above and which is working good sofar
$('.e6').on("change", function(e){
console.log(ids);
console.log(gs);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
data: {ids: ids, gs:gs},
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
});
But I have problems to populate my input field with initial existing tags
Not tested but should work :
$('.e6').on("change", function(e){
if (e.removed) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
data: {id: e.removed.id, action: remove}, //Or you can e.removed.text
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
}
if (e.added) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
data: {id: e.added.id, action: add}, //Or you can e.added.text
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
}
//OR you can play with val data instead
if (e.val) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
data: {val: JSON.stringify(e.val)}, //Will send all the selected values
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
}
}
Is there a fiddle where you can post a version of this problem.
Based on what I understood, would the following pattern suffice?
function dynamicSelect2(id) {
$.ajax({
url: 'data-url',
data: 'parameters',
dataType: 'json'
}).done(function () {
//Create the Select2 with necessary data on the element "id" passed.
}).always(function () {
//Attach other events..
});
}
It is possible to create the entire select2 box dynamically and attach events on it this way. If you do that within a closure, you'll have access to variables that you defined prior to your ajax calls.
