Nice solution for form tooling in web dev

I like how easy it is to use with AngularJS, but also that there are so many plugins available out of box! It's almost too much choice sometimes - you're bound be overwhelmed by all these choices :) Also we have problems integrating select boxes from other applications into our site when using angularjs as frontend framework since they don't follow standard conventions about what should happen if an option isn´t selected anymore or not yet chosen etc., which makes them difficult/impossible…

Pros
  • Very good support for mobile devices (phonegap), iOs 7 8 compatibility & cross platform development via cordova CLI tool..and very customizable through CSS styling options.also has great documentation + excellent community forum in github page.All this combined made me choose Slect 2 over several "wannabe"

A must have tool when needing many field types in one place

I like how easy it is to use, just add select box as html tag. And that's all! It works like magic. There are some bugs which makes me feel uncomfortable but nothing serious or difficult to fix by myself if needed. This plugin should be used with caution because of such issues mentioned above. If you need something simple then definitely give it try once - it won't disappoint. We were looking for an out-of-the-box solution allowing our users to choose from multiple values without having them…

Pros
  • Easy integration
  • Ease in working (for both developers & end user)
  • Can easily modify existing HTML structure/templates when necessary.
  • Very good support community available through Github repository
Cons
  • Not bad

Extensible & Customizable Wrapper Around Chosen

I like the fact that when it comes to the UI, you can modify almost everything about how your select looks and functions. I dislike the fact that sometimes there is not enough documentation around what certain things do or are supposed to do. It's often difficult to find out if a functionality has been removed from an older version of Select2. You have to look at the changelogs which are not always up-to-date with the actual code changes. Make sure to try out as many different templates and…

Pros
  • I like the fact that there is a lot of documentation around Select2 and its features and configuration options
Cons
  • I dislike the fact that there is not enough documentation around what certain things do or are supposed to do

Easy-to Use Framework For Building Customized Web Applications

The customization feature is quite amazing. You can customize the look and feel of the select2 by providing your own css and js files. Also, you can easily add new fields from the backend and the frontend will reflect the changes. There are many plugins out there that lets you customize the look and feel of the select2 box. I have used it for creating a dynamic dropdown on a form. It is quite easy to setup and customize. I have used the select2 in a social networking website. It is quite easy…

Pros
  • Simple interface; very user friendly with great support available if needed
Cons
  • No issues at all!
