Select2: how to set data after init?

Question

I need to set an array of data after initializing select2. So I want to make something like this:

var select = $(\'#select\').select2({});
select.data([
  {id: 1         


        

Answer 1

Make an element and bind select2 to that. Using .select2 on a regular select box doesn't let you play with the data, it just mostly gives you the UI and post-selection methods.
