select2 without jQuery

Created on 18 Oct 2015 · 3Comments · Source: select2/select2

Hi,

I'm a big fan of select2, but is trying to avoid jQuery, since I don't needs it's massive amount of functionality. Is there any thoughts on making a plain JS version without jQuery as dependency?

Thanks.

I had the same problem.
I really prefer not to load jQuery just for a single component.

I found Choices, which seems to be quite a good replacement without jQuery! :) (At least for my use case with single select boxes)

I am trying to transfer Select2 to TypeScript without dependencies. The project is located here.
