DualSelect

A new version of the MultiColumnSelect. Looks the same. Way better.

The structure of the component is more modular - The main DualSelect component is made up of two OrderedList components which handle all the dragging, dropping moving via events (I've done this via appliation events but am thinking of moving to component events - it does add a dependency on the parent DualSelect component, but I suppose there is a pretty heavy depency anyway... :)

What it looks like:

To use, look at the DualSelect app. Eg:

<aura:application access="global" extends="force:slds" >
  <aura:attribute name="leftValues" type="Object[]" default="[
  {
    'label': 'Annual Review',
    'value': 'Annual Review'
  },
  {
    'label': 'Watching Market',
    'value': 'Watching Market'
  },
  {
    'label': 'Initial Contact',
    'value': 'Initial Contact'
  }
  ]"/>
    
  <div class="slds">
    <div class="slds-box">
      <c:DualSelect fieldName="Opportunity Stage" leftValues="{!v.stagenames}" />
    </div>     
  </div>
</aura:application>

You can:

• Drag from source to destination
• Drag from destination to source
• Dragging will attempt to put the item where you dropped it.
• Drag to reorder in any list
• Shift select several items in source or destination, then use the arrow buttons to move to either source or destination
• Highlight an item and use the up / down buttons to move up and down.

At this point the component is very lightweight - you are required to pass in the source list. When the selected items list changes, the component emits an event called "multiColumnSelectChange" of type "c:DataChange_CE" The changed items will be in data.items parameter on the event.

NOTE If you need to set the list source values dynamically, it's best to set them to the source list in one go and use a handler (in the inner ordered list component) to detect the data change, in turn calling the init method:

Add:

<aura:handler name="change" value="{!v.leftValues}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>

Remove:

<aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" />

Enjoy!
