//define the array of complex data
let sportsData: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
{ id: 'game1', sports: 'Badminton' },
{ id: 'game2', sports: 'Football' },
{ id: 'game3', sports: 'Tennis' },
{ id: 'game4', sports: 'Golf' },
{ id: 'game5', sports: 'Cricket' },
{ id: 'game6', sports: 'Handball' },
{ id: 'game7', sports: 'Karate' },
{ id: 'game8', sports: 'Fencing' },
{ id: 'game9', sports: 'Boxing' }
];
//initiate the MultiSelect
let msObject: MultiSelect = new MultiSelect({
// bind the sports Data to datasource property
dataSource: sportsData,
// maps the appropriate column to fields property
fields: { text: 'sports', value: 'id' },
//set the placeholder to MultiSelect input
placeholder:"Select games",
// set the type of mode for checkbox to visualized the checkbox added in li element.
mode: 'CheckBox',
//Bind the filter event
filtering: function (e: FilteringEventArgs) {
let query = new Query();
//frame the query based on search string with filter type.
query = (e.text != "") ? query.where("country", "startswith", e.text, true) : query;
//pass the filter data source, filter query to updateData method.
e.updateData(searchData, query);
}
});
//render the component
msObject.appendTo('#select');<!DOCTYPE html>

unSelectAllText.
