README

a simple jquery plugin to feed a dropdown with json data.
dependencies:
* jquery
* bootstrap(not necessary but makes it looks better).
instructions
- Clone this repository or install it via npm, and include musiciansddropdown.js file:
$ git clone https://github.com/aromn/musiciansDDropdown.git
$ # or
$ npm install musiciansddropdown
<script src="path/to/musiciansddropdown.js"></script>
- Call the plugin in your HTML select dropdown:
<select class="form-control" id="myDropdown"></select>
$('#myDropdown').dynamicDropdown({
url: 'http://your-url/',
key: 'json-key',
value: 'json-value'
});
Optionally you can add form-control class from bootstrap, or the plugin will add it by itself.
docs
url (REQUIRED): The url to send the request.
key (OPTIONAL only if value is provided): A known Json key; Since every json has keys and values, once you know the name of the key you want to use, set it up as the key option.
value (OPTIONAL): A know Json value. Json format has keys and values, sometimes values are other json objects, at this moment the plugin will ignore values if they are json objects.
