Last Updated : 31 Jan, 2022

jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using the jQuery JavaScript Library. jQuery UI is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. It can be used to build highly interactive web applications or can be used to add widgets easily.

The jQuery UI Selectable filter option is used to match child elements that will be made by selectees

Syntax:

Initialize selectable element with filter option:

$( "Selector" ).selectable({
    filter: "li"
});

Get the filter option:

var filter = $( "Selector" ).selectable( "option", "filter" );

Set the filter option:

"$( "Selector" ).selectable( "option", "filter", "li");
