New example with autocomplete-light instead of select2 #1330

jpic · 2023-05-22T10:12:23Z

This is a pretty simple example using the simple autocomplete-light.js web component which offers the following advantages over select2:

lightweight, 312 SLOCs of JS
doesn't use jQuery
doesn't need any "lifecycle code" (the code that initializes etc ... and does not always work ie Javascript isn't correctly initialized when loaded with HTMX #1311), because it's a web component
you can template all rendering output in python, there's no JS template or whatnot, it's like the originial JS script of DAL < v3
we have full control on it

And the following drawbacks:

most features from DAL not added
addanother not added
in admin neither
it's a web-component so I don't know perhaps it won't work on some very old browsers

That said, we can start building on that, it's not bothering the select2 implementation code nor breaking compatibility AFAIK.

…et to None

In the example given, the forward argument in line 590: ```forward=(forward.Self())``` isn't a tuple. So I've updated the example to correct the error and also added a reminder that the forward argument expects a tuple.

Django2 introduced the SELECT2_TRANSLATIONS dictionary, and this was imported into the dal_select2.widgets module, causing an ImportError when run against any version of Django < 2. Fixes #1029

Django 2.1 has been released last week, so adding it to the build matrix

This makes select2 copy the CSS classes from original select element to the generated element.

Switches from using an unsupported private API (which changed and broke from django-querysetseqence>0.7) to a newly added public api method (`get_querysets`) which achieves the same thing. Depends on clokep/django-querysetsequence#53 Supersedes #1056 Fixes #1050
