How to correctly use AUI Select2?

[anton ronin]

i have difficult to use AUI Select2 with something more complex than hard coded options. How to properly use this component?

http://jsfiddle.net/0v74wvnr/ attempt to init AUI Select2 from array.

https://bitbucket.org/anton_ronin/aui-select2-not-today attempts to init AUI Select2 from array, via ajax. Trying almost everything.

Hi Anton,

You will need to declare your base element as

<input id="select2-example">

Then use the following for your declaration:

AJS.$("#select2-example").auiSelect2({
    data:options,
    multiple: true
});

Then it should work

So much time, so much pain...

AUI Select 2 uses Select2 3.5.3 in the background, so the documentation there should be able to get you started:
