How to define default value for empty array select

[adaamz]

Hi,
how can I define default value if the value is empty array?

$qb.queryBuilder({
    operators: [{
        type: 'approve',
        nb_inputs: 1,
        apply_to: 'select',
        multiple: true
    }],
    filters: [{
        id: 'abc',
        label: 'Abc',
        input: 'select',
        operators: ['approve'],
        default_value: 'all',
        values: {all: 'All', 5: 'a', 10: 'b', 12: 'c'}
    }]
});

And json rules:

{
    "id": "abc",
    "operator": "approve",
    "value": []
}

It does not select the value "All" :-(

Is it possible somehow?
Thanks.

Using your exact configuration, I cannot reproduce your issue. A rule without a selected value is invalid unless you explicitly allow it to be empty. (http://querybuilder.js.org/#validation)

If you set a "default_value" the default will be selected as soon as that filter is selected from the filters dropdown. In order to have no value at all selected, the user would have to explicitly deselect all values in the multi-select which would override your default.

@CzechBoy talks about setRules method, not the user input.

I will plan it.

@mistic100 yes, I'm setting values for queryBuilder with setRules method.

Thanks.

@CzechBoy will be in the next version

You will have to remove the value property or set it to undefined while calling setRules in order to use the default_value. An empty array will not work.
