Use Select2 and X-Editable together with latest versions

Question

All the examples online that I see show how to use X-Editable with Select2 library are using older versions of select2.

X-Editable - http://vitalets.github.io/x-editable/ with
Select2 - https://select2.github.io/ for weeks now without much luck.

Has anyone got these 2 libraries recently with versions released in the past year even to work together?

Answer 1

I also run into this problem recently and come up a cheat. It uses the standard 'select' and turn it into a select2 on show:

$('#stages').editable({
  source: [ {value: 1, text:'ahaa'}, {value: 2, text: 'ohooo'} ]
}).on('shown', function(e, editable){
  editable.input.$input.select2({
    width: 250,
    minimumResultsForSearch: Infinity
  });
  editable.input.$input.select2('val', editable.input.$input.val());
});

Answer 2

Select2 4.0.0 is not compatible with X-Editable, and there doesn't appear to be any support coming in the future.

Back in January I created a ticket about it, and there has not been any response from the maintainers. The X-Editable project is currently frozen and looking for maintainers.
