aui-select with initial value on load

Raffee Parseghi
Raffee Parseghian September 5, 2016

I'm using the aui-select control with AJAX calls to retrieve the list to be displayed. How can I set the initial value of this control (for example in a View/Edit form?)

 

Thanks!

To give you a better idea, here are the details of our tests on JS Bin (using the sample provided on https://docs.atlassian.com/aui/latest/docs/single-select.html)

 

 

Fake Rest API using: http://www.mocky.io/
Sample API: http://www.mocky.io/v2/57d01a871000008c00208c9a
Sample Result:
[
{
"label": "Product1",
"value": 1
},
{
"label": "Product2",
"value": 2
},
{
"label": "Product3",
"value": 3
},
{
"label": "Product4",
"value": 4
}
]

I see, the loading is asynchronous. In this case, how about using the AP Atlassian connect module (see https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/javascript/module-request.html), and use the success method which is called after the asynchronous call is done without error, like this:

AP.require('request', function(request)
 {
 request(
 {
 url: your_url_here,
 type: "GET",
 dataType: "json",
 contentType: "application/json",
 async: true,
 success : function (response)
 {
//$("#async-product-single-select").val("1"); to select option value 1

// 

$('select').select2().select2('val', $('.select2 option:eq(1)').val()); to select first option in list
}
});
});

Hello Frederic,

And thank you for your continuing support smile

I tried your suggestion (using the JQuery val('value').trigger('change') but again it is not working. I think this would work fine with preloaded options, but not when using asynchronous loading with AJAX.

We were able to grab and set the value of the "input" inside the select, but again it's value will remain "" (no value) and the specified option will not be selected.

 

If it's not too much to ask, do you have a working sample that you can provide?

 

Thanks again and regards,

Raffee

Hi Frederic,

Thanks for your answer, but this doesn't seem to be working.

When I write your suggested line: 

$('#yourSelected2Id').val('value');

and then directly try :

$('#yourSelected2Id').val();

I get "" as a result, and the Select box is still empty.

 

Here is my HTML for more info:

<aui-select id="AccountTypeId"
name="AccountTypeId"
placeholder="Select a Type"
src="Accounts/GetAccountTypesList"
value="type to search types">
</aui-select>

 

Thanks,

Raffee

Hi Raffee,

You should use .val() with an argument (the value you want to select). For instance, .val('value 1'); . If not working, try to append the trigger() method, like this: .val('value 1').trigger('change');

Hope that helps,

Fred
