Is there a properly tested alternative to Select2 or Chosen?
forms, javascript, jquery, jquery-select2, testing
Solution
Selectize.js is a select2 alternative I've been working on that has a suite of tests using a combination of testem, syn, mocha, and chai. Right now there are the following classes of tests:
- Interaction Functional tests that makes sure the control behaves as if the user is using it (using syn).
- Setup Ensures the control can be initialized properly from existing `<select>` and `<input>` elements.
- API Tests core API methods for proper functionality.
- Events Ensures built-in events get fired at the right times with the proper arguments.
- XSS Tests a handful of potential exploits.
With that said, the tests aren't as expansive as I want them to be, but it's getting there :)
Problem
I am looking for an alternative to Select2 that basically provides the same functionality, but includes proper tests. The quest for the holy grail? The last unicorn?
