Topic: Dynamic select initialization
nick.kaynes priority asked 2 years ago
How do you do dynamic initialization for select component , like for input
https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/forms/input-fields/#section-dynamic-input-initialization
I tried
document.querySelectorAll('.select').forEach(function (selectNode) {
new mdb.Select(selectNode).init();
});
but get an error.

You can do that. And your initial code was almost good.
You don't need to call init
method.
It will look like this:
document.querySelectorAll('.select').forEach(function (selectNode) {
new mdb.Select(selectNode);
});

No its not the same. This will recreate all select nodes even ones that are ready created resulting in 2 select components. The input initialization works with .init() because it only recreates component if not allready created.

This means I have to write all my selects as strings. Not an option. Isnt there a consistent way to do it like the input element where you have a method .init() on all instances with the class?
