Description Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2020-11-13 13:33:30 UTC
On top of bug 26988, we can nicely use Select2 on those dropdowns. This would be beneficial on sites with many branches.

Bug 27016: Make the pickup locations dropdowns use Select2

On the shoulders of bug 27015, this patch makes the pickup locations
dropdowns use Select2 to handle both fetching the pickup location
on-deman through the API, and also searching for them.

This provides a better user experience for really big lists.

To test:
1. Have some holds on a biblio
=> SUCCESS: Bug 26988 works, made it load the data when you click on the
dropdowns.
2. Apply this patch
3. Reload the page
=> SUCCESS: Similar-ish behaviour
=> SUCCESS: Notice you can search for branch names and make the list
shrink
4. Sign off :-D

The only thing I noticed when testing is that for library names with spaces in the name wrap (such as Institut Protestant de Théologie), rather than being on the same 'line'. 

I'm assuming this is the default behaviour for Select2.

Good point. We could fix that. I felt like the experience was better with no geometry changes when the API call gets the results. So I'm open to discuss this.

I think it is a great improvement.
