Right now I am wondering what the full differences between select2, and select2 full are. I can not find a webpage that goes into details about them in the docs. The docs just mention patability modules, and the mousewheel plugin, but there's also new config options for dropdownCssClass as well so I find this a little confusing. I was going to adopt it to use the dropdownCssClass config option, but I want to know what else I’ll get from it. I'm also curious if select2 full is being as actively maintained as select2, but can't find that information on that as well

• From what I seen on the source files, it seems to be no difference at all: cdnjs./libraries/select2 – Hackerman Commented Sep 14, 2018 at 17:25
• Wow, I had a brief look and the docs are amazingly unhelpful this mentions that the full build has patibility modules (among other things) -> the page for patibility modules links back to the previous page. I can't see a plete listing of what's in the full build. – VLAZ Commented Sep 14, 2018 at 17:25
• 1 You can check here: github./select2/select2/blob/develop/Gruntfile.js to see how are these builds configured and what are the differences. . – Jakub Matczak Commented Sep 14, 2018 at 17:26
• Woah, having to look at the gruntfile to see how the builds are configured is pretty unhelpful but answers the question. Thanks @JakubMatczak – Fredmental Commented Sep 15, 2018 at 16:21

Sorted by: Reset to default 4

Standard (select2.js / select2.min.js)

This is the build that most people should be using for Select2. It includes the most monly used features.

Full (select2.full.js / select2.full.min.js)

You should only use this build if you need the additional features from Select2, like the patibility modules or remended includes like jquery.mousewheel

If you want to read more, you can find it on select2 official website.
