| Data / Searching |
| Option |
Description |
Type |
Default |
options |
Options available to select; array of objects. If your element i as <select> with <option>s specified this property gets populated automatically. Setting this property is convenient if you have your data as an array and want to automatically generate the <option>s. |
array |
[] |
optgroups |
Option groups that options will be bucketed into. If your element is a <select> with <optgroup>s this property gets populated automatically. Make sure each object in the array has a property named whatever "optgroupValueField" is set to. |
array |
[] |
dataAttr |
The <option> attribute from which to read JSON data about the option. |
string |
'data-data' |
valueField |
The name of the property to use as the "value" when an item is selected. |
string |
'value' |
optgroupValueField |
The name of the option group property that serves as its unique identifier. |
string |
'value' |
labelField |
The name of the property to render as an option / item label (not needed when custom rendering functions are defined). |
string |
'text' |
optgroupLabelField |
The name of the property to render as an option group label (not needed when custom rendering functions are defined). |
string |
'label' |
optgroupField |
The name of the property to group items by. |
string |
'optgroup' |
sortField |
A single field or an array of fields to sort by. Each item in the array should be an object containing at
least a "field" property. Optionally, "direction" can be set to "asc" or "desc". The
order of the array defines the sort precedence.
Unless present, a special "$score" field will be automatically added to the beginning
of the sort list. This will make results sorted primarily by match quality (descending).<br><br>
You can override the "$score" function. For more information, see the <a href="https://github.com/brianreavis/sifter.js#sifterjs">sifter documentation</a>.

Custom rendering functions. Each function should accept two arguments: "data" and "escape" and return HTML (string) with a single root element.
The "escape" argument is a function that takes a string and escapes all special HTML characters.
This is very important to use to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
