I am using select 2 example from http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ I am using "Loading Remote Data" example in this page.
Problem: As soon as I type a letter, system makes an ajax call. I want to introduce delay of 1 second during this request which will allow the user to type his search string.
I am adding code from the site. Please let me know how to introduce delay.
("#e6").select2({
placeholder: "Search for a movie",
minimumInputLength: 1,
ajax: { // instead of writing the function to execute the request we use Select2's convenient helper
url: "http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json",
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: function (term, page) {
return {
q: term, // search term
page_limit: 10,
apikey: "ju6z9mjyajq2djue3gbvv26t" // please do not use so this example keeps working
};
},
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 remote JSON data
return {results: data.movies};
}
},
initSelection: function(element, callback) {
// the input tag has a value attribute preloaded that points to a preselected movie's id
// this function resolves that id attribute to an object that select2 can render
// using its formatResult renderer - that way the movie name is shown preselected
var id=$(element).val();
if (id!=="") {
$.ajax("http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies/"+id+".json", {
data: {
apikey: "ju6z9mjyajq2djue3gbvv26t"
},
dataType: "jsonp"
}).done(function(data) { callback(data); });
}
},
formatResult: movieFormatResult, // omitted for brevity, see the source of this page
formatSelection: movieFormatSelection, // 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
});
I guess quietMillis property was changed to delay in newer versions of select2:
https://select2.org/data-sources/ajax#rate-limiting-requests
$('select').select2({
ajax: {
url: '/example/api',
delay: 250
}
});
