CDNJS

The folks at CDNJS host a copy of the library. The CDN is updated after the release is made public, which means there is a delay between the publishing of a release and its availability on the CDN, so keep that in mind. Just use these links:

Forking

If you find that you need a feature that SumoSelect does not currently support, either let me know via the SumoSelect issue tracker, or fork SumoSelect on Github and easily extend SumoSelect to create your own widget!

Usage

To just go with the default options simply do

 $(document).ready(function () {
            $('.SlectBox').SumoSelect();
     });

To provide optional settings, simply pass settings object to SumoSelect()

 $(document).ready(function () {
            $('.SlectBox').SumoSelect({placeholder: 'This is a placeholder', csvDispCount: 3 });
        });

If you want a instance to the SumoSelect object to call handler methods

 var MySelect;
 $(document).ready(function () {
         MySelect = $('.SlectBox').SumoSelect();
     });

NOTE: SumoSelect returns an array of select elements if there are more than one in the matching selector.

You can also find the instance to SumoSelect object by directly selecting your select element like

	$('select.SlectBox')[0].sumo. .....

You can perform all the operations on underlying original select and then reload the UI by

	$('select.SlectBox')[0].sumo.reload();

You can bind your handlers to some sumoselect specific events eg.

$('select.SlectBox').on('sumo:opened', function(sumo) {
   // Do stuff here
   console.log("Drop down opened", sumo)
});

Available events

sumo:opened
sumo:opening
sumo:closing
sumo:closed
