tom-select

Tom Select is a dynamic, framework agnostic, and lightweight (~16kb gzipped) <select> UI control. With autocomplete and native-feeling keyboard navigation, it's useful for tagging, contact lists, country selectors, and so on. Tom Select was forked from selectize.js with the goal of modernizing the code base, decoupling from jQuery, and expanding functionality.

Features

• Smart Option Searching / Ranking
  Options are efficiently scored and sorted on-the-fly (using sifter). Want to search an item's title and description? No problem.
• Caret between items
  Order matters sometimes. With the Caret Position Plugin, you can use the ← and → arrow keys to move between selected items
• Select & delete multiple items at once
  Hold down command on Mac or ctrl on Windows to select more than one item to delete.
• Díåcritîçs supported
  Great for international environments.
• Item creation
  Allow users to create items on the fly (async saving is supported; the control locks until the callback is fired).
• Remote data loading
  For when you have thousands of options and want them provided by the server as the user types.
• Extensible
  Plugin API for developing custom features (uses microplugin).
• Accessible, Touch Support, Clean API, ...
