Array

Select2 allows creating the results based on an array of data objects that
is included when initializing Select2.

<div class="col-sm-6">
  <dl class="dl-horizontal">
    <dt>Key</dt>
    <dd><code>data</code></dd>

    <dt>Value</dt>
    <dd>array of objects</dd>
  </dl>
</div>

<div class="col-sm-6">
  <dl class="dl-horizontal">
    <dt>Adapter</dt>
    <dd>
      <code title="select2/data/array">ArrayAdapter</code>
    </dd>
  </dl>
</div>

The objects that the users can select from should be passed as an array
with each object containing <code>id</code> and <code>text</code>
properties.

Select2 provides the SingleSelection and MultipleSelection adapters as default implementations of the SelectionAdapter for single- and multi-select controls, respectively. Both SingleSelection and MultipleSelection extend the base BaseSelection adapter.

The selection adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the selectionAdapter configuration option.
