Select2 provides the SelectAdapter as a default implementation of the DataAdapter adapter. It extends BaseAdapter.

This adapter can be overridden by assigning a custom adapter to the dataAdapter configuration option.

AMD Modules:

• select2/data/base
• select2/data/select

Decorators

Tags

This decorator implements the tagging feature.

AMD Modules:

select2/data/tags

<strong>For backwards compatibility</strong>, if an array of objects is
passed in with the <code>tags</code> option, the options will be
automatically created and the user will be able to select from them.
This is the <strong>same as how <a href="#data">array data</a>
works</strong>, and has similar limitations.

MinimumInputLength

This decorator implements the minimum search term length feature as exposed through the minimumInputLength configuration option.

AMD Modules:

select2/data/minimumInputLength

MaximumInputLength

This decorator implements the maximum search term length feature as exposed through the maximumInputLength configuration option.

AMD Modules:

select2/data/maximumInputLength
