Posted on October 27, 2022

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be building a dynamic dSelect bootstrap 4 countries dropdown select box in php and mysql. All the source code of the application is shown below.

 

 

Get Started

 

 

In order to get started you need to make an index.html file inside the root directory. First of all we will be including the dselect library cdn of css and js as shown below

 

 

Installation

 

 

You can install this module using the npm module as shown below

 

 

1
npm install @jarstone/dselect

 

 

And also we can include the library css and javascript as shown below

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@jarstone/dselect/dist/css/dselect.css">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@jarstone/dselect/dist/js/dselect.js"></script>

 

 

Features

 

There are many types of select box available are:

 

  • Placeholder
  • Multiple
  • Search

<select class="form-select" id="dselect-example">
    <option value="chrome">Chrome</option>
    <option value="firefox">Firefox</option>
    <option value="safari">Safari</option>
    <option value="edge">Edge</option>
    <option value="opera">Opera</option>
    <option value="brave">Brave</option>
</select>

 

 

And now we will be attaching the dselect library to the DOM as shown below

 

 

1
dselect(document.querySelector('#dselect-example'))

 

 

Adding the Options to Select Box

const config = {
    search: false, // Toggle search feature. Default: false
    creatable: false, // Creatable selection. Default: false
    clearable: false, // Clearable selection. Default: false
    maxHeight: '360px', // Max height for showing scrollbar. Default: 360px
    size: '', // Can be "sm" or "lg". Default ''
}
dselect(document.querySelector('#dselect-example'), config)

 

 

Now as you can see above we are attaching the different config options to the dselect select box element.

<select data-dselect-search="true" data-dselect-creatable="true" data-dselect-clearable="true" data-dselect-max-height="300px" data-dselect-size="sm" class="form-select" id="dselect-example">

-- Indexes for dumped tables
--
 
--
-- Indexes for table `apps_countries`
--
ALTER TABLE `apps_countries`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);
 
--
-- AUTO_INCREMENT for dumped tables
--
 
--
-- AUTO_INCREMENT for table `apps_countries`
--
ALTER TABLE `apps_countries`
  MODIFY `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=246;

 

 

 

 

And now we will be populating all the countries which are available inside the mysql table to the select box. And for this we will be writing the php file as shown below

 

 

index.php

                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <select name="select_box" class="form-select" id="select_box">

<script>
 
    var select_box_element = document.querySelector('#select_box');
 
    dselect(select_box_element, {
        search: true
    });
 
</script>

 

 

As you can see at the top we are fetching all the records from the table using the select statement and then we are populating all the records inside the select box element. And also we are initializing the dselect library to the select box dom element. And also we are including the bootstrap css and javascript cdn.
