Search

You can enable search by passing the option when you initialize the plugin.

$('.selectron').selectron({   search: true });

Alternativley you can enable/disable search on inidividual instances using a data attribute:

<select class="selectron" data-selectron-search="true">   <option value="">Please select something</option>   <option value="1">Option 1</option>   <option value="2">Option 2</option> </select>

Themes

There are three default themes, light, dark and block. The light theme is applied by default, to apply the dark theme simply add the selectron--dark class to your select, and to apply the block theme simply add selectron--block.

<select class="selectron selectron--dark">   <option value="">Please select something</option>   <option value="1">Option 1</option>   <option value="2">Option 2</option> </select>

<select class="selectron selectron--block">   <option value="">Please select something</option>   <option value="1">Option 1</option>   <option value="2">Option 2</option> </select>

Icons

You can add an icon to your options by simply adding a data-icon attribute to the option.

<select class="selectron selectron--dark">   <option value="">Please select something</option>   <option value="1" data-icon="http://placehold.it/30x20">Option 1</option>   <option value="2" data-icon="http://placehold.it/30x20">Option 2</option> </select>

Classes

Any classes you add to your select or option will get copied across to selectron, this is useful for custom themes or for adding icons to options.

<select class="selectron my-class">   <option value="">Please select something</option>   <option value="1" class="my-class">Option 1</option>   <option value="2" class="my-class">Option 2</option> </select>
