What is Sumo MultiSelect?#

Sumo MultiSelect is a jQuery plugin that allows you to create a customizable, user-friendly multiple select dropdown list.

Usage:#

First, include the required libraries:

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/sumoselect.css">
<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/jquery.sumoselect.min.js"></script>

Then, create a select element with the multiple attribute:

HTML

<select multiple>
  <option value="1">Option 1</option>
  <option value="2">Option 2</option>
  <option value="3">Option 3</option>
  <option value="4">Option 4</option>
</select>

Finally, initialize the Sumo MultiSelect plugin on your select element:

JavaScript

$('select').SumoSelect();

Customization:#

Sumo MultiSelect offers various customization options:

  • Placeholder text: You can specify a placeholder text for the dropdown.
  • Searchable: You can add a search field to the dropdown for easy navigation.
  • Multiple trigger methods: You can choose from click, hover, or both to trigger the dropdown.
  • Custom styles: You can customize the appearance of the dropdown with CSS.

To customize Sumo MultiSelect, you can pass options as an object when initializing the plugin:

JavaScript

$('select').SumoSelect({
  placeholder: 'Select options',
  search: true,
  trigger: 'hover',
  css: {
    'background-color': '#eee',
    'border': '1px solid #ccc'
  }
});

Alternatively, you can set options globally by modifying the SumoSelect.defaults object:

JavaScript

$.extend($.fn.SumoSelect.defaults, {
  placeholder: 'Select options',
  search: true,
  trigger: 'hover',
  css: {
    'background-color': '#eee',
    'border': '1px solid #ccc'
  }
});

Overall, Sumo MultiSelect is a versatile and easy-to-use plugin for creating multiple select dropdowns with customization options to fit your needs.
