Setup

Note: If you pass a selector which targets multiple elements, the first matching element will be used. Versions prior to 8.x.x would return multiple Choices instances.

  // Pass single element
  const element = document.querySelector('.js-choice');
  const choices = new Choices(element);

  // Pass reference
  const choices = new Choices('[data-trigger]');
  const choices = new Choices('.js-choice');

  // Pass jQuery element
  const choices = new Choices($('.js-choice')[0]);

  // Passing options (with default options)
  const choices = new Choices(element, {

Terminology

Word	Definition
Choice	A choice is a value a user can select. A choice would be equivalent to the `<option></option>` element within a select input.
Group	A group is a collection of choices. A group should be seen as equivalent to a `<optgroup></optgroup>` element within a select input.
Item	An item is an inputted value (text input) or a selected choice (select element). In the context of a select element, an item is equivalent to a selected option element: `<option value="Hello" selected></option>` whereas in the context of a text input an item is equivalent to `<input type="text" value="Hello">`

}

Input types affected: text, select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Classes added to HTML generated by Choices. By default classnames follow the BEM notation.

Callbacks

Note: For each callback, this refers to the current instance of Choices. This can be useful if you need access to methods (this.disable()) or the config object (this.config).

callbackOnInit

Type: Function Default: null

Input types affected: text, select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Function to run once Choices initialises.

callbackOnCreateTemplates

Type: Function Default: null Arguments: template

Input types affected: text, select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Function to run on template creation. Through this callback it is possible to provide custom templates for the various components of Choices (see terminology). For Choices to work with custom templates, it is important you maintain the various data attributes defined here. If you want just extend a little original template then you may use Choices.defaults.templates to get access to original template function.

Example:

const example = new Choices(element, {
  callbackOnCreateTemplates: () => ({
    input: (...args) =>
      Object.assign(Choices.defaults.templates.input.call(this, ...args), {
        type: 'email',
      }),
  }),
});

or more complex:

const example = new Choices(element, {
  callbackOnCreateTemplates: function(template) {
    return {
      item: (classNames, data) => {
        return template(`
          <div class="${classNames.item} ${
          data.highlighted
            ? classNames.highlightedState
            : classNames.itemSelectable
        } ${
          data.placeholder ? classNames.placeholder : ''
        }" data-item data-id="${data.id}" data-value="${data.value}" ${
          data.active ? 'aria-selected="true"' : ''
        } ${data.disabled ? 'aria-disabled="true"' : ''}>
            <span>&bigstar;</span> ${data.label}
          </div>
        `);
      },
      choice: (classNames, data) => {
        return template(`
          <div class="${classNames.item} ${classNames.itemChoice} ${
          data.disabled ? classNames.itemDisabled : classNames.itemSelectable
        }" data-select-text="${this.config.itemSelectText}" data-choice ${
          data.disabled
            ? 'data-choice-disabled aria-disabled="true"'
            : 'data-choice-selectable'
        } data-id="${data.id}" data-value="${data.value}" ${
          data.groupId > 0 ? 'role="treeitem"' : 'role="option"'
        }>
            <span>&bigstar;</span> ${data.label}
          </div>
        `);
      },
    };
  },
});

Events

Note: Events fired by Choices behave the same as standard events. Each event is triggered on the element passed to Choices (accessible via this.passedElement. Arguments are accessible within the event.detail object.

Example:

const element = document.getElementById('example');
const example = new Choices(element);

element.addEventListener(
  'addItem',
  function(event) {
    // do something creative here...
    console.log(event.detail.id);
    console.log(event.detail.value);
    console.log(event.detail.label);
    console.log(event.detail.customProperties);
    console.log(event.detail.groupValue);
  },
  false,
);

// or
const example = new Choices(document.getElementById('example'));

example.passedElement.element.addEventListener(
  'addItem',
  function(event) {
    // do something creative here...
    console.log(event.detail.id);
    console.log(event.detail.value);
    console.log(event.detail.label);
    console.log(event.detail.customProperties);
    console.log(event.detail.groupValue);
  },
  false,
);

// Calling a method by chaining
const choices = new Choices(element, {
  addItems: false,
  removeItems: false,
})
  .setValue(['Set value 1', 'Set value 2'])
  .disable();

// Calling a method directly
const choices = new Choices(element, {
  addItems: false,
  removeItems: false,
});

choices.setValue(['Set value 1', 'Set value 2']);
choices.disable();

destroy();

Input types affected: text, select-multiple, select-one

Usage: Kills the instance of Choices, removes all event listeners and returns passed input to its initial state.

init();

Input types affected: text, select-multiple, select-one

Usage: Creates a new instance of Choices, adds event listeners, creates templates and renders a Choices element to the DOM.

Note: This is called implicitly when a new instance of Choices is created. This would be used after a Choices instance had already been destroyed (using destroy()).

highlightAll();

Input types affected: text, select-multiple

Usage: Highlight each chosen item (selected items can be removed).

unhighlightAll();

Input types affected: text, select-multiple

Usage: Un-highlight each chosen item.

removeActiveItemsByValue(value);

Input types affected: text, select-multiple

Usage: Remove each item by a given value.

removeActiveItems(excludedId);

Input types affected: text, select-multiple

Usage: Remove each selectable item.

removeHighlightedItems();

Input types affected: text, select-multiple

Usage: Remove each item the user has selected.

showDropdown();

Input types affected: select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Show option list dropdown (only affects select inputs).

hideDropdown();

Input types affected: text, select-multiple

Usage: Hide option list dropdown (only affects select inputs).

setChoices(choices, value, label, replaceChoices);

Input types affected: select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Set choices of select input via an array of objects (or function that returns array of object or promise of it), a value field name and a label field name.

This behaves the similar as passing items via the choices option but can be called after initialising Choices. This can also be used to add groups of choices (see example 3); Optionally pass a true replaceChoices value to remove any existing choices. Optionally pass a customProperties object to add additional data to your choices (useful when searching/filtering etc). Passing an empty array as the first parameter, and a true replaceChoices is the same as calling clearChoices (see below).

Example 1:

const example = new Choices(element);

example.setChoices(
  [
    { value: 'One', label: 'Label One', disabled: true },
    { value: 'Two', label: 'Label Two', selected: true },
    { value: 'Three', label: 'Label Three' },
  ],
  'value',
  'label',
  false,
);

Example 2:

const example = new Choices(element);

// Passing a function that returns Promise of choices
example.setChoices(async () => {
  try {
    const items = await fetch('/items');
    return items.json();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
});

Example 3:

const example = new Choices(element);

example.setChoices(
  [
    {
      label: 'Group one',
      id: 1,
      disabled: false,
      choices: [
        { value: 'Child One', label: 'Child One', selected: true },
        { value: 'Child Two', label: 'Child Two', disabled: true },
        { value: 'Child Three', label: 'Child Three' },
      ],
    },
    {
      label: 'Group two',
      id: 2,
      disabled: false,
      choices: [
        { value: 'Child Four', label: 'Child Four', disabled: true },
        { value: 'Child Five', label: 'Child Five' },
        {
          value: 'Child Six',
          label: 'Child Six',
          customProperties: {
            description: 'Custom description about child six',
            random: 'Another random custom property',
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
  'value',
  'label',
  false,
);

clearChoices();

Input types affected: select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Clear all choices from select

getValue(valueOnly)

Input types affected: text, select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Get value(s) of input (i.e. inputted items (text) or selected choices (select)). Optionally pass an argument of true to only return values rather than value objects.

Example:

const example = new Choices(element);
const values = example.getValue(true); // returns ['value 1', 'value 2'];
const valueArray = example.getValue(); // returns [{ active: true, choiceId: 1, highlighted: false, id: 1, label: 'Label 1', value: 'Value 1'},  { active: true, choiceId: 2, highlighted: false, id: 2, label: 'Label 2', value: 'Value 2'}];

setValue(items);

Input types affected: text

Usage: Set value of input based on an array of objects or strings. This behaves exactly the same as passing items via the items option but can be called after initialising Choices.

Example:

const example = new Choices(element);

// via an array of objects
example.setValue([
  { value: 'One', label: 'Label One' },
  { value: 'Two', label: 'Label Two' },
  { value: 'Three', label: 'Label Three' },
]);

// or via an array of strings
example.setValue(['Four', 'Five', 'Six']);

setChoiceByValue(value);

Input types affected: select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Set value of input based on existing Choice. value can be either a single string or an array of strings

Example:

const example = new Choices(element, {
  choices: [
    { value: 'One', label: 'Label One' },
    { value: 'Two', label: 'Label Two', disabled: true },
    { value: 'Three', label: 'Label Three' },
  ],
});

example.setChoiceByValue('Two'); // Choice with value of 'Two' has now been selected.

clearStore();

Input types affected: text, select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Disables input from accepting new value/selecting further choices.

enable();

Input types affected: text, select-one, select-multiple

Usage: Enables input to accept new values/select further choices.

Browser compatibility

Choices is compiled using Babel targeting browsers with more that 1% of global usage and expecting that features listed below are available or polyfilled in browser. You may see exact list of target browsers by running npx browserslist withing this repository folder. If you need to support a browser that does not have one of the features listed below, I suggest including a polyfill from the very good polyfill.io:

Polyfill example used for the demo:

<script src="https://cdn.polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=es5,es6,fetch,Array.prototype.includes,CustomEvent,Element.prototype.closest"></script>

Features used in Choices:

Array.from
Array.prototype.find
Array.prototype.includes
Symbol
Symbol.iterator
Object.assign
CustomEvent
Element.prototype.classList
Element.prototype.closest
