Select2() is not a function

So i have downloaded select2 i have "installed it" by putting it into my folder and then loaded it on my site when i check the console (where i can see all of the scripts being loaded) i can see the file select2.js

I went to their documentation and copied it and added $("#e9").select2();

However when i load the page i get the following error:

TypeError: $(...).select2 is not a function


$("#e9").select2();

Have anyone else experianced anything like this?

Additional information here is my script:

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    var max_amount = parseFloat($('#max_amount').val());
    $( "#item_amount" ).keyup(function() {
           if($(this).val() > max_amount){
            $(this).val( max_amount);
        }
        if( /\D/.test($(this).val()) ){
            alert('Må kun indeholde tal!');
            $(this).val('');
        }
        if($(this).val()== '0'){
            alert('Må ikke være 0!');
            $(this).val('');
        }
    });
    $("#e1").select2();

});
function addToBasket(){
    var amount = $('#item_amount').val();
    if(amount == ""){
        amount = 1;
    }

    if(amount > 0){

            var newAmount = parseInt(amount)

            var dat = data;

Solution 1:

I was having this problem when I started using select2 with XCrud. I solved it by disabling XCrud from loading JQuery, it was it a second time, and loading it below the body tag. So make sure JQuery isn't getting loaded twice on your page.

Solution 2:

This error raises if your js files where you have bounded the select2 with select box is loading before select2 js files. Please make sure files should be in this order like..

• Jquery
• select2 js
• your js

Solution 3:

Had the same issue. Sorted it by defer loading select2

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.8/js/select2.min.js" defer></script>

Solution 4:

I was also facing same issue & notice that this error occurred because the selector on which I am using select2 did not exist or was not loaded.

So make sure that $("#selector") exists by doing

if ($("#selector").length > 0)
   $("#selector").select2();
