Is it possible to configure selectize.js as a non-editable single select?

[bago]

I'm testing selectize.js to replace our default html select when we want custom rendering but we don't want the user to be able to add items or even remove the selection.

In practice I need a single select with forced selection of one item, like a default input select widget with no empty option, but with custom rendering (and that's the only reason I can't use the native widget).

I currently use the "maxItems: 1" option and implement the "onDelete" option to always return false, but this sounds like an hack and I still have the blinking cursor that is confusing given writing is not allowed.
