[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] VEPA Network UI and multiple selection

[Samuel Henrique De Oliveira Guimaraes]

Hi team,

I was looking into Bootstrap-Select that is already implemented on Wok and it does allows multiple option selection, which means we can use it to select more than one interface when creating a new Vepa network. But instead of looking like a default multi-select input, it keeps the default style and puts the selected items separated by comma:

In the other hand, this is what a multiple select looks like with native HTML controls:

IMO the default html control looks better and it delivers a better user experience than a dropdown. We can "destroy" Bootstrap-Select style and widget if a VEPA network type is selected and customize the default html control with CSS3 to look like other form elements. However, what if there are hundreds of interfaces? In this case I propose we keep Bootstrap-Select with a search/filter on top, which would work like this jsfiddle:

Any thoughts or comments?

Regards,
Samuel
