    Placeholder              string
    AllowBlank               bool
    DefaultCreating          bool

    Select2ResultTemplate    template.JS
    Select2SelectionTemplate template.JS
    RemoteDataResource       *Resource
    PrimaryField             string
}

Collection

Specify the options of the select, accepts type:

[]string
[][]string
func(interface{}, *qor.Context) [][]string
func(interface{}, *admin.Context) [][]string

Placeholder

Select option's placeholder

AllowBlank

Allow clear current selection, default false

DefaultCreating

by default, select will pop up a list for user to select, if this set to true, it will pop up a new form for creating

SelectionTemplate

SelectionTemplate accept a file path to overwrite default select template, which usually used when writing plugins to customize select one's template.

Refer sortable select many as an example.

SelectMode

Set the data source of the options:

select

Select options with prepare options when loading the page, if you configured Collection, this is the only allowed option
select_async

Select options with remote data from RemoteDataResource
bottom_sheet

Select options in a popup with remote data from RemoteDataResource, with the popup, you are allowed to do some advanced work, like creating data

DefaultCreating only can works with this mode

Select2ResultTemplate

Same as select2's option templateResult |

Select2SelectionTemplate

Same as select2's option templateSelection

RemoteDataResource

Works in conjunction with theSelectMode configuration, when set to select_async or bottom_sheet the value represents the data resource

select will request remote data as JSON from RemoteDataResource, and use its ID as select option key, use field Name or Title or Code or the first value of JSON as select option value

PrimaryField

If ID is not your primary key for RemoteDataResource, you could customize it with PrimaryField

Examples

Set option manually

In a hypothetical project, to change the Meta type of the Gender field in User resource from string (default value) to select_one, with options M | F, one might use the following code:

user.Meta(&admin.Meta{Name: "Gender", Type: "select_one", Config: &admin.SelectOneConfig{Collection: []string{"M", "F"}}})

Add clear icon to clear current selection

u.Meta(&admin.Meta{Name: "Gender", Type: "select_one", Config: &admin.SelectOneConfig{Collection: []string{"M", "F"}, AllowBlank: true}})

Generate options by data from the database

This is an example of generates options by the languages in the database. The Collection option accept a function with context *admin.Context parameter. You can get the database by context.GetDB() function. The returned value should be a [][]string array.

  user.Meta(&admin.Meta{Name: "Language", Label: "Locale", Type: "select_one",
    Config: &admin.SelectOneConfig{
      Collection: func(_ interface{}, context *admin.Context) (options [][]string) {
        var languages []models.Language
        context.GetDB().Find(&languages)

        for _, n := range languages {
          idStr := fmt.Sprintf("%d", n.ID)
          var option = []string{idStr, n.NameWithCountry()}
          options = append(options, option)
        }

        return options
      },
    },
  })

Overwrite default SelectionTemplate

u.Meta(&admin.Meta{
  Name: "Gender",
  Type: "select_one",
  Config: &admin.SelectOneConfig{
    Collection: []string{"M", "F"},
    SelectionTemplate: "metas/form/customised_select_one.tmpl",
  },
})
