Topic: Passing Material Select values on submit

Carlton van Putten free asked 5 years ago


Expected behavior On submit of form I expect select values to be passed to POST endpoint

Actual behavior values are missing from the payload

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) I have properly used the JQuery initialization script and form behaves correctly. However, when I click on submit, all select values are missing. I cannot find code examples to capture the values from the material-select UL and pass them to the endpoint.

Hi Carlton,

The data of material select is stored inside of the select that you build in HTML structure. After initialization with our jQ method, there is select-wrapper created and inside this wrapper, we create a structure to display our visual effect and we keep the select to contain the data you need in your form.

A simple example of getting the data from select

If you need additional help I am here for you.

Best Regards, Piotr

Your code doesnt update the html displayed? When I test your code it still doesn't pass values on submit

My code is just an example of how to get the data from the select. I predefined selected values and got the value from select after initialization. If you want to update the html you need to add event handler and use this method I presented.
