Templates in React Multi select component
10 Jan 202424 minutes to read
The MultiSelect has been provided with several options to customize each list item, group title, selected value, header, and footer elements.
Item template
The content of each list item within the MultiSelect can be customized with the help of itemTemplate
property.
In the following sample, each list item is split into two columns to display relevant data’s.

The currently selected value that is displayed by default on the MultiSelect input element can be customized using the valueTemplate property.
In the following sample, the selected value is displayed as a combined text of both FirstName and City in the MultiSelect input, which is separated by a hyphen.

The group header title under which appropriate sub-items are categorized can also be customize with the help of groupTemplate property. This template is common for both inline and floating group header template.
In the following sample, employees are grouped according to their city.

The header element is shown statically at the top of the popup list items within the MultiSelect, and any custom element can be placed as a header element using the
