  // Array of Option objects
  data: [{ text: 'Value 1', value: 'value1' }],

  // or

  data: [{ label: 'Optgroup Label', options: { text: 'Value 1', value: 'value1' } }],
})

var optgroup = {
  label: 'label', // Required
  selectAll: false, // Optional - default false
  closable: 'off', // Optional - default 'off' - 'off', 'open', 'close'
  options: [], // Required - value is an array of options

    // their values are the defaults
    disabled: false,
    alwaysOpen: false,

    maxValuesMessage: '{number} selected',
    addableText: 'Press "Enter" to add {value}',
  },
})

new SlimSelect({
  select: '#selectElement',

  events: {
    search: (searchValue: string, currentData: DataArray) => Promise<DataArrayPartial> | DataArrayPartial
    searchFilter: (option: Option, search: string) => boolean
    addable: (value: string) => Promise<OptionOptional | string> | OptionOptional | string | Error
    beforeChange: (newVal: Option[], oldVal: Option[]) => boolean | void
    afterChange: (newVal: Option[]) => void
    beforeOpen: () => void
    afterOpen: () => void
    beforeClose: () => void
    afterClose: () => void
    error: (err: Error) => void
  },
})
