Select2.js - Search input to allow only numbers

Question

I'm struggling with this for a day now, probably is really easy to solve.

What I want is the search field to only accept numbers, so I tried something like this:

function onlyNumbers(){
  $('.select2-search__field').on('keypress', function () {
    $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^\d].+/, ""));
    if ((event.which < 48 || event.which > 57)) {
      event.preventDefault();
    }
  });
}

function select2(){
  $(".select2From").select2({
    tags: true,
    placeholder: "de",
    allowClear: true
  });
  $(".select2To").select2({
    tags: true,
    placeholder: "até",
    allowClear: true
  });
}

But that doesn't work...actually I can't even get to the '.select2-search__field'. Doesn't matter if is on keypress, on change, on click, on something...I just want to know how can I get to that input so I can filter the text on input.

Hope you can help me. Thank you!

For dynamically generated items, bind the event to a static DOM.

$(".select2").select2({
    tags: true,
    placeholder: "de",
    allowClear: true
});

$(document).on('keypress', '.select2-search__field', function () {
    $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^\d].+/, ""));
    if ((event.which < 48 || event.which > 57)) {
      event.preventDefault();
    }
});

<select class='select2' style='min-width: 100px;'>
  <option/>
  <option>100</option>
  <option>200</option>
  <option>300</option>
</select>
