How to add html placeholder to select2?

Question

I want to add one icon to placeholder like this

$(\"#tag_list\").select2({
    allowClear: true,
    placeholder: \"         


        

Answer 1

You can specify a placeholder object, rather than only the text. This will render the HTML.

So in your case, the placeholder might look something like this.

$("#tag_list").select2({
    placeholder: {
        id: "-1",
        text: '  input your tags...'
    }
});
