Some Examples Of Useage

[asafshen]

Hi,

Can you please give some example of usage?
maybe a complimentary js file with the example of:
{{#Multiselect name='myMultiselect' options=myOptions selected=selectedOptions }} <option value="{{ _id }}" {{ attrs }}>{{ caption }}</option> {{/Multiselect}}
myOptions and selectedOptions definitions..?

Thanks ahead.

Hi @asafshen,

I had the same frustration. I compared emdagon version to JSSolutions. They both had things I liked so I combined their features and created this: https://github.com/brucejo75/meteor-bootstrap-multiselect. You can find it on atmosphere here.

I am hoping it is more approachable for beginners (like me) and it has more features (being able to set config options) which can make it more useful.

Take a look and let me know what you think! Any/all feedback welcome.

Based on this file Multiselect Template Js file on Github the options and selected have to be:

Template.myTmpl.helpers({
  myOptions() { 
    return [
      {_id: 'item-a', caption: 'Item A'},
      {_id: 'item-b', caption: 'Item B'},
      {_id: 'item-c', caption: 'Item C'},
    ]
  },
  selectedOptions() {
    return [ 'item-a', 'item-b' ]
  }
})

You can change the caption key by whatever you want (or add multiple keys) but you have to update the HTML part

Warning The selected options are based the _id so you can't update this one.
