SelectBoxIt v3.0.0 Roadmap

[gfranko]

Refactoring and Performance

• Refactor jquery.selectBoxIt.core.js and split out as much functionality as possible into different files
• Refactor the grunt build process to remove the IIFE's within each optional file (should save ~1kb off total file size) and only minify jquery.selectBoxIt.js.
• Remove all switch statements Getting error in eclipse #108
• Improve search algorithm accuracy for long lists Navigation via the keyboard in 'Long Lists' demo works buggy #110
• Remove as many dynamic CSS style declarations from the JavaScript as possible.
• Fix mobile positioning bug

New, Upgraded, and Removed Options

• Add a new copyAttributes option to allow a user to specify which HTML attributes they would like copied over to the new drop down.
• Add a new viewport option to constrain the dropdown list to the dimensions of an element other than the window
• Add a new similarSearch option to optimize for lists with similar values (i.e. State list)
• Build out a brand new custom CSS theme and use it as the default theme. This theme will model the Twitter Bootstrap theme, but will allow user's to not have to include the Twitter Bootstrap CSS file.
• Remove the nostyle option, since this is no longer needed because there is no dynamic JS styling

Custom Web Build

• Upgrade the custom web build process with any new changes to the grunt build (added files, etc), and use the Google Closure Compiler to allow the custom web build process to provide users with minified and/or unminified versions of SelectBoxIt. Show file sizes on custom build page using GitHub API #106

Unit Testing

• Write more Jasmine tests

Support

• Officially drop IE7 support
• Update documentation on the website

Note: The current state of the 3.0 release can be found in the dev branch
