    or what I would want to use a custom attribute
  • g
    Really struggling with this because my JS isn't the best
  • g
    Interesting enough, I do know how to do this with AJAX

    a couple years ago I had a similar case. I wanted to grab a custom attribute from the selected option on list of options on a 
    select
    element. What helped me was that the "parent" element, 
    select
    , has a 
    selectedOptions
    property that directly provides you the selected option. So I got my custom value from accessing my_select.selectedOptions[0].cutom_attribute (the 0 indexing is needed because you can theoretically select more than one option). Sadly, I see that the datalist element is much more lacking on properties, and that's not possible there: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDataListElement 😦

    I guess it makes sense, as one can possibly write an option that is not on the list
  • g
    input + datalist isn't really "`` with search"
  • g
    which is annoying since that would be really useful
  • a
    yeah, it's more a "text input with optional suggestions"
  • t
    I wrote this a long time ago, but maybe it's relevant today. instead of datalists or whatever, I set a click tricker on each of the options to set the value of the input to an arbitrary value. https://jsfiddle.net/nm8cua9q/27/

    But it doesn't play well with HTMX
  • t
    If I wasn't already planning on spending my entire weekend playing elden ring, I might take a stab at something like that built with htmx
  • t
    Alas, someone else is gonna have to take that on.
  • g
    It's really frustrating there aren't more options for search select
  • g
    at least that play nice with bootstrap
  • t
    select 2 is pretty good
  • a
    I also saw this one referenced by a SO question, no idea how good it is: https://select2.org/
  • g
    That's the only reason I was using datalist
  • g
    Now this might be an option
  • t
    I think one of my projects is pulling in jquery specifically just to have select2

    A JetBrains employee is the author of the extension that integrates htmx and ASP.NET Core!

    @User Select2 will work with HTMX, but some extra JS has to be added

    I spent way too much time on this... Good thing I inflated my budget

    As someone who is managing a front-end app that was written by dozens of programmers over the last decade, none of whom still work for the company, and which contains at least three separate JS frameworks (including an Ember app that was transpiled into some mutant version of React), this hits right in the giblets.

    I'd like to create a kitchen sink app in ColdFusion on Wheels (a framework for CFML inspired by Rails). I was wondering if the backend code for the examples is available anywhere. I could obviously build it from scratch but I thought if it was available with the datasets used it would make life easier.
  • t
    backend code for what examples?
