Usage

let dualListbox = new DualListbox("select"); // Selects the first selectbox on the page.
let dualListbox = new DualListbox(".select"); // Selects the first element with the class 'select'
let dualListbox = new DualListbox("#select"); // Selects the first element with the id 'select'

let select = document.querySelector("#select");
let dualListbox = new DualListbox(select); // Add a HTMLElement

You can also pass some options to the DualListbox

let dualListbox = new DualListbox("#select", {
    addEvent: function (value) {
        // Should use the event listeners
        console.log(value);
    },
    removeEvent: function (value) {
        // Should use the event listeners
        console.log(value);
    },
    availableTitle: "Different title",
    selectedTitle: "Different title",
    addButtonText: ">",
    removeButtonText: "<",
    addAllButtonText: ">>",
    removeAllButtonText: "<<",

    sortable: true,
    upButtonText: "ᐱ",
    downButtonText: "ᐯ",

    draggable: true,

    options: [
        { text: "Option 1", value: "OPTION1" },
        { text: "Option 2", value: "OPTION2" },
        { text: "Selected option", value: "OPTION3", selected: true },
    ],
});

dualListbox.addEventListener("added", function (event) {
    console.log(event);
    console.log(event.addedElement);
});
dualListbox.addEventListener("removed", function (event) {
    console.log(event);
    console.log(event.removedElement);
});

Try it online on JSFiddle.

Exposed elements

All the elements should be exposed. This way it should be possible to add custom attributes to the element of choice.

let dualListbox = new DualListbox("#select");

// Access the buttons:
dualListbox.add_button.setAttribute("a", "a");
dualListbox.add_all_button.setAttribute("a", "a");
dualListbox.remove_button.setAttribute("a", "a");
dualListbox.remove_all_button.setAttribute("a", "a");

// Access the search field:
dualListbox.search_left.classList.add("some_class");
dualListbox.search_right.classList.add("some_class");

// Access the list containers:
dualListbox.selectedList.setAttribute("a", "a");
dualListbox.availableList.setAttribute("a", "a");
