Examples

Options

jquery-navToSelect can accept an options object to alter the way it behaves. You can see the default options by call $.navToSelect.setDefaults(). The structure of an options object is as follows:

{   maxLevel: 4,   prependTo: null,   activeClass: 'active',   linkSelector: 'a:first',   indentString: '–',   indentSpace: true,   placeholder: 'Navigate to...',   useOptgroup: false,   namespace: 'navToSelect',   itemFilter($li) {     return true;   },   getItemLabel($li) {     return $li.find(this.options.linkSelector).text();   },   getItemsFromList($list, level) {     const that = this;     const _items = [];      $list.children('li').each(function() {       const $li = $(this);       if (!that.options.itemFilter($li)) {         return;       }       const item = {         value: that.getItemValue($li),         label: that.options.getItemLabel.call(that, $li),         linkable: that.isLinkable($li),         actived: that.isActived($li)       };       if ($li.children('ul, ol').length) {         item.items = [];         $li.children('ul, ol').each(function() {           item.items = item.items.concat(that.options.getItemsFromList.call(that, $(this), level + 1));         });       }        _items.push(item);     });     return _items;   },   onChange() {     if ($(this).data('linkable') !== false) {       document.location.href = this.value;     }   } } 

Methods

Methods are called on navToSelect instances through the navToSelect method itself. You can also save the instances to variable for further use.

// call directly $().navToSelect('destroy');  // or var api = $().data('navToSelect'); api.destroy();

getSelect()

Get select jquery object.

var $select = $().navToSelect('getSelect');

isBuilded()

Check if select is builded already

$().navToSelect('isBuilded');

enable()

Enable the nav to select functions.

$().navToSelect('enable');

disable()

Disable the scrollbar functions.

$().navToSelect('disable');

destroy()

Destroy the scrollbar instance.

$().navToSelect('destroy');

Events

jquery-navToSelect provides custom events for the plugin’s unique actions.

$('.the-element').on('navToSelect::ready', function (e) {   // on instance ready }); 

No conflict

If you have to use other plugin with the same namespace, just call the $.navToSelect.noConflict method to revert to it.

<script src="other-plugin.js"></script> <script src="jquery-navToSelect.js"></script> <script>   $.navToSelect.noConflict();   // Code that uses other plugin's "$().navToSelect" can follow here. </script>
