select2 attributes, init, and example

rboudwin

1. Where is a list of the object attr: Attributes that are applied to the select element before Select2? I don't see this list in the documentation:
   https://editor.datatables.net/plug-ins/field-type/editor.select2

2. Is there a preferred version of select2 to work properly with datatables?

3. Is there a good working example of select2 init?

Also, (1) placeholder doesn't appear to be working in the example provided and (2) where/how are the states loaded:

editor.add( {
    "label": "Make of automobile:",
    "name": "automake",
    "type": "select2",
    "opts": {
        "allowClear": true,
        "placeholder": {
            "id": "",
            "text":"(Does not own automobile)"
        }
    }
}

In answer to my placeholder question and to help others, it appears that placeholder only works with the multiple attr set.

1. There isn't one in the Editor documentation - it applies the attributes to the select element, so whatever that element can take will work.
2. The latest version of 4.x.
3. Actually no - we've not yet published public examples of the plug-ins with Editor. That it something that we need to do.

1. I'm looking at the select element documentation and don't see a list of attributes:
   https://editor.datatables.net/reference/field/select

From the example page you linked to:

The full Editor reference documentation is available to registered users of Editor - the information shown below is a summary only.

In other words, you must be logged in to see the full Editor documentation.

I am logged in and a registered user of Editor.

You should be able to see this:

Set HTML attributes on the select element.

I see it now. Thank you!

Maybe I should have posted my questions separately so that I could check Answered for each one.
