Aurelia trying to load HTML from Select2?

Question

So I\'m trying to use Select2 within my Aurelia application. I installed Select2 using jspm install select2, and within my app.html file I require

Answer 1

For the sake of completion, firing the change event in Jeremy's solution results in a recursive loop and causes exception to fix it I had to do:

attached() {
    $(this.element)
     .select2(this.value)
     .on('change', evt => {
         if (evt.originalEvent) { return; }
         this.element.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
     });
}

I could then do:

    ${state.name}

changeCallback($event) can be a function on your vm e.g.

changeCallback(evt: Event): void {
    console.log(evt);
}
