Adding Dependencies

In order to add select2, we need to include the plugin to our page. Note that files use in this tutorial is included in the downloadable. Include the CSS and JS of select2 in the header section of your page of the JS file before the closing body tag. 
  1. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/select2.min.css">
  2. <script src="assets/jquery.min.js"></script>
  3. <script src="assets/select2.full.min.js"></script>
Don't forget to include jQuery as well.

Initializing Select2

Next step is to initialize our select2 and assign it to a class. 
  1. $(function(){
  2. 	//Initialize Select2 Elements
  3.     $('.select2').select2()
  4. });

Lastly, we create the select tag where we want to apply select2. 
  1. <select class="form-control select2" name="fruit">
  2. 	<option value="" selected>- Select Fruit -</option>
  3. 	<option>Apple</option>
  4. 	<option>Orange</option>
  5. 	<option>Strawberry</option>
  6. 	<option>Mango</option>
  7. 	<option>Watermelon</option>
  8. 	<option>Melon</option>
  9. 	<option>Jackfruit</option>
  10. 	<option>Star Apple</option>
  11. 	<option>Buko</option>
