Select2: how to set data after init?

Question

I need to set an array of data after initializing select2. So I want to make something like this:

var select = $('#select').select2({}); select.data([   {id: 1, text: 'value1'},   {id: 1, text: 'value1'} ]); 

But I get the following error:

Option 'data' is not allowed for Select2 when attached to a element.;

My HTML:

<select id="select" class="chzn-select"></select> 

What should I use instead of a select element?

I need to set the source of items for search

In onload:

$.each(data, function(index, value) {   $('#selectId').append(     '<option value="' + data[index].id + '">' + data[index].value1 + '</option>'   ); });
