Other packages similar to mobius1-selectr

select2

Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results. Compared to mobius1-selectr, Select2 is more feature-rich but also heavier due to its jQuery dependency.

chosen-js

Chosen is a JavaScript plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes more user-friendly. It supports both single and multi-select options with search functionality. Chosen is similar to mobius1-selectr but has a more classic design and requires jQuery.

selectize

Selectize is a hybrid of a textbox and a select box. It offers tagging, remote data binding, and dynamic dropdowns. Selectize is more versatile than mobius1-selectr but also more complex to configure.

react-select

React-Select is a flexible and customizable select input control for React. It supports multi-select, async options, and custom styling. React-Select is specifically designed for React applications, making it different from the vanilla JavaScript approach of mobius1-selectr.

Roadmap

Selectr started out as a plugin I wrote for personal use to replace Select2 on my sites due to me dumping jQuery. This means that it isn't as streamlined as I'd like it to be for distribution. Therefore, in the coming months I'll be working on vastly improving Selectr.
