EffectIO CMB2 Field Type: Select2 3.0.5

Description:

This plugin adds Select2 based field types to CMB2, the Custom Metaboxes and Fields library for WordPress. It provides two additional field types. The pw_select field works much like the default select field, but adds typeahead-style search so you can quickly make a selection from a large list. The pw_multiselect field lets you select multiple values with the same typeahead-style search, and the chosen values can be dragged and dropped to reorder them.

Installation follows the usual WordPress plugin process. Download the plugin, place the plugin folder in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, and activate it in the Plugin dashboard. Alternatively, you can include the field type within your own plugin or theme. The path to the front end assets, the JavaScript and CSS files, can be filtered using the pw_cmb2_field_select2_asset_path filter, for example to load the assets from the current active theme.

Placeholder text can be set through the attributes array, and Select2 configuration options can be defined with HTML5 data attributes. The options array can also be populated dynamically, with common use cases including listing posts and taxonomy terms. The plugin suits WordPress developers who build metaboxes with CMB2 and want select fields with typeahead-style search.

The vendor’s own page for CMB2 Field Type: Select2 has the full details.
