Cannot get select2 working in Editor

Lucho_1312

Hi!
I'm making some tests with the editor, so I've been trying a lot of time to use Select2 plugin, but I can't make it work. I always get this error:

dataTables.editor.js:109: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'create' of undefined

I'm setting the field like this:

{
   label: "Brand", 
   data: "brand", 
   name: "brand",
   type: "select2", 
   "opts": {
   "ajax": {
       "type": "GET",
       "url": "/api/v1/cars/brands",
       "dataType": "json",
           "cache": true
    }
   }
}

Also, i'm including both select2 files:

/select2/select2.css

/select2/select2.js

Am I missing any file?

Thanks!

You need to also include the Select2 field plug-in for Editor as it is not a built in field type.

Oh, so I see now that the problem is that I can't see the plugin download link as I'm in trial now :(

As that didn't work, I'm tried to make my own plugin, because I need editor for some tests agains a node js app.

This is what I have until now (not working well yet because it doesn't initializates when I click it in the inline editing, but if I finish it I can use it for my test to see if I'll use editor or not)

(function($, DataTable) {

if (!DataTable.ext.editorFields) {
    DataTable.ext.editorFields = {};
}

var Editor = DataTable.Editor;
var _fieldTypes = DataTable.ext.editorFields;

_fieldTypes.select2 = {
    create: function(field, id) {
        var that = this;

        field._enabled = true;
        field._input = $('<select />')[0];

        $(field._input).select2(field.opts);

        return $(field._input);
    },

    get: function(conf) {
        return $(conf._input).select2('val');
    },

    set: function(conf, val) {
        return $(conf._input).select2('val', val);
    },
    enable: function ( field ) {
        field._enabled = true;
        $(field._input).prop("disabled", false);
    },
    disable: function ( field ) {
        field._enabled = false;
        $(field._input).prop("disabled", true);
    }
};

I left it here, maybe it's useful for someone else or someone have an idea to finish it.

Thanks!
