Select2 load data with Ajax from file

问题

I have a script called listofValues.php, which queries a database and returns JSON format values.

What I need is to pass these values to the select2 data member. I need it to load once.

I don't need to pass values from select2 input (term) to my listofValues.php as described in this example

$('#select2div').select2({
        //data:[],
    ajax: {
        dataType: "json",
        url: "listofvalues.php",    
        success: function (data) {          
        }
    }

Can you help me with this?

Simple Example

It would be useful to know the format of the object you're getting back from listofvalues.php, but let's just assume, for the sake of simplicity it looks like this:

[ {"id": 1, "text": "option1"},
  {"id": 2, "text": "option2"},
  {"id": 3, "text": "option3"} ]

This is the easiest format to use, as by default, select2 can handle objects with property names id and text and render them into a dropdown list. So your select2 initialisation might look like this:

$('#select2div').select2({
    ajax: {
        dataType: "json",
        url: "listofvalues.php",
        results: function (data) {
            return {results: data};
        }
    }
});

Slightly Trickier Example

Now let's assume the data from listofvalues.php doesn't follow the convenient naming conventions:

[ {"id": 1, "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Lennon"},
  {"id": 2, "firstName": "Paul", "lastName": "McCartney"},
  {"id": 3, "firstName": "George", "lastName": "Harrison"},
  {"id": 4, "firstName": "Ringo", "lastName": "Starr"} ]

We'll have to set up a function to handle the output:

function formatValues(data) {
    return data.firstName + ' ' + data.lastName;
}

And our select2 initialisation:

$('#select2div').select2({
    ajax: {
        dataType: "json",
        url: "listofvalues.php",
        results: function (data) {
            return {results: data};
        }
    },
    formatResult: formatValues
});

Let me know how you get on.
