Hi e6 is the id of select tag $( "#e6" ).select2({ placeholder: "Search for a repository" , minimumInputLength: 1, ajax: { // instead of writing the function to execute the request we use Select2's convenient helper url: "https://api.github.com/search/repositories" , dataType: 'json' , quietMillis: 250, data: function (term, page) { return { q: term, // search term }; }, results: function (data, page) { // parse the results into the format expected by Select2. // since we are using custom formatting functions we do not need to alter the remote JSON data return { results: data.items }; }, cache: true }, initSelection: function (element, callback) { // the input tag has a value attribute preloaded that points to a preselected repository's id // this function resolves that id attribute to an object that select2 can render // using its formatResult renderer - that way the repository name is shown preselected var id = $(element).val(); if (id !== "" ) { $.ajax( "https://api.github.com/repositories/" + id, { dataType: "json" }).done( function (data) { callback(data); }); } }, formatResult: repoFormatResult, // omitted for brevity, see the source of this page formatSelection: repoFormatSelection, // omitted for brevity, see the source of this page dropdownCssClass: "bigdrop" , // apply css that makes the dropdown taller escapeMarkup: function (m) { return m; } // we do not want to escape markup since we are displaying html in results });
