});
```

## Specifications

### Initialization parameters object

When calling `$("#element").bootstrapDualListbox()` you can pass a parameters object with zero or more of the following:

- `bootstrap2Compatible`, defaults to `false`, set this to `true` if you want graphic compatibility with Bootstrap 2.
- `filterTextClear`, defaults to `'show all'`, is the text for the "Show All" button.
- `filterPlaceHolder`, defaults to `'Filter'`, is the placeholder for the `input` element for filtering elements.
- `moveSelectedLabel`, defaults to `'Move selected'`, is the label for the "Move Selected" button.
- `moveAllLabel`, defaults to `'Move all'`, is the label for the "Move All" button.
- `removeSelectedLabel`, defaults to `'Remove selected'`, is the label for the "Remove Selected" button.
- `removeAllLabel`, defaults to `'Remove all'`, is the label for the "Remove All" button.
- `moveOnSelect`, defaults to `true`, determines whether to move `option`s upon selection. This option is forced to `true` on the Android browser.
- `preserveSelectionOnMove`, can be`'all'` (for selecting both moved elements and the already selected ones in the target list) or `'moved'` (for selecting moved elements only); defaults to `false`.
- `selectedListLabel`, defaults to `false`, can be a `string` specifying the name of the selected list.
- `nonSelectedListLabel`, defaults to `false`, can be a `string` specifying the name of the non selected list.
- `helperSelectNamePostfix`, defaults to `'_helper'`. The added `select`s will have the same name as the original one, concatenated with this `string` and `1` (for the non selected list, e.g. `element_helper1`) or `2` (for the selected list, e.g. `element_helper2`).
- `selectOrMinimalHeight`, defaults to `100`, represents the minimal height of the generated dual listbox.
- `showFilterInputs`, defaults to `true`, whether to show filter inputs.
- `nonSelectedFilter`, defaults to the empty string `''`, initializes the dual listbox with a filter for the non selected elements. This is applied only if `showFilterInputs` is set to `true`.
- `selectedFilter`, defaults to the empty string `''`, initializes the dual listbox with a filter for the selected elements. This is applied only if `showFilterInputs` is set to `true`.
- `infoText`, defaults to `'Showing all {0}'`, determines which `string` format to use when all options are visible. Set this to `false` to hide this information. Remember to insert the `{0}` placeholder.
- `infoTextFiltered`, defaults to `'<span class="label label-warning">Filtered</span> {0} from {1}'`, determines which element format to use when some element is filtered. Remember to insert the `{0}` and `{1} `placeholders.
- `infoTextEmpty`, defaults to `'Empty list'`, determines the `string` to use when there are no options in the list.
- `filterOnValues`, defaults to `false`, set this to `true` to filter the `option`s according to their `value`s and not their HTML contents.

### Methods

You can modify the behavior and aspect of the dual listbox by calling its methods, all of which accept a `value` and a `refresh` option. The `value` determines the new parameter value, while `refresh` (optional, defaults to `false`) tells whether to update the plugin UI or not.

To call methods on the dual listbox instance, use the following syntax:

```javascript
$(selector).bootstrapDualListbox(methodName, parameter);
```

**Note**: when making multiple chained calls to the plugin, set `refresh` to `true` to the last call only, in order to make a unique UI change; alternatively, you can also call the `refresh` method as your last one.

Here are the available methods:

- `setBootstrap2Compatible(value, refresh)` to change the `bootstrap2Compatible` parameter.
- `setFilterTextClear(value, refresh)` to change the `filterTextClear` parameter.
- `setFilterPlaceHolder(value, refresh)` to change the `filterPlaceHolder` parameter.
- `setMoveSelectedLabel(value, refresh)` to change the `moveSelectedLabel` parameter.
- `setMoveAllLabel(value, refresh)` to change the `moveAllLabel` parameter.
- `setRemoveSelectedLabel(value, refresh)` to change the `removeSelectedLabel` parameter.
- `setRemoveAllLabel(value, refresh)` to change the `removeAllLabel` parameter.
- `setMoveOnSelect(value, refresh)` to change the `moveOnSelect` parameter.
- `setPreserveSelectionOnMove(value, refresh)` to change the `preserveSelectionOnMove` parameter.
- `setSelectedListLabel(value, refresh)` to change the `selectedListLabel` parameter.
- `setNonSelectedListLabel(value, refresh)` to change the `nonSelectedListLabel` parameter.
- `setHelperSelectNamePostfix(value, refresh)` to change the `helperSelectNamePostfix` parameter.
- `setSelectOrMinimalHeight(value, refresh)` to change the `selectOrMinimalHeight` parameter.
- `setShowFilterInputs(value, refresh)` to change the `showFilterInputs` parameter.
- `setNonSelectedFilter(value, refresh)` to change the `nonSelectedFilter` parameter.
- `setSelectedFilter(value, refresh)` to change the `selectedFilter` parameter.
- `setInfoText(value, refresh)` to change the `infoText` parameter.
- `setInfoTextFiltered(value, refresh)` to change the `infoTextFiltered` parameter.
- `setInfoTextEmpty(value, refresh)` to change the `infoTextEmpty` parameter.
- `setFilterOnValues(value, refresh)` to change the `filterOnValues` parameter.

Furthermore, you can call:

- `refresh()` or `trigger` the `bootstrapDualListbox.refresh` event to update the plugin element UI.
- `destroy()` to restore the original `select` element and delete the plugin element.
- `getContainer()` to get the container element.
