Set the value programmatically

[bestrong89]

Is it possible to set the value of the select programmatically?

for example

$('#my-select').val('123');

or

$('#my-select').find('option[value="123"]').prop('selected', true);

Apparently not. Plugin author considered it unnecessary😆😂😭

$("select[name='cards']").val(this.order_type); let indx = $("select[name='cards'] option:selected").index(); $("select[name='cards']").prev('.fstControls .fstResultItem').eq(indx).trigger('click');

Nice ...

I wrote a function as well. This should be added directly under

$.extend(Fastselect.prototype, {

  setValue : function( values ){
          if( !$.isArray(values) ){
            values = [values];
          }
          fs = this;
          this.getOptions( function(){
            $.each(fs.optionsCollection.models, function(k,v){
              if( typeof v.value != 'undefined' && $.inArray(v.value, values) != -1 ){
                fs.setSelectedOption(v);
              }else{
                fs.removeSelectedOption(v);
              }
            });

          } );
          fs.writeToInput();
          return true;
        },

This can be used as following
$(fastselect_element).data('fastselect').setValue(value);

I don't have a good understanding how fastselect works, so this may be clumsy. If you have any improvement suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the reply!
