Chip customization in EJ2 TypeScript Multi select control
2 May 20234 minutes to read
The MultiSelect allows the user to customize the selected chip element through the tagging
event. In that event, you can set the custom classes to chip element via that event argument of setClass
method.
The following sample demonstrates chip-customization with the MultiSelect component.
import { MultiSelect,TaggingEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns';
//define the array of complex data
let colorsData: { [key: string]: Object; }[] = [
{ Color: 'Chocolate', Code: '#75523C' },
{ Color: 'CadetBlue', Code: '#3B8289' },
{ Color: 'DarkOrange', Code: '#FF843D' },
{ Color: 'DarkRed', Code: '#CA3832' },
{ Color: 'Fuchsia', Code: '#D44FA3' },
{ Color: 'HotPink', Code: '#F23F82' },
{ Color: 'Indigo', Code: '#2F5D81' },
{ Color: 'LimeGreen', Code: '#4CD242' },
{ Color: 'OrangeRed', Code: '#FE2A00' },
{ Color: 'Tomato', Code: '#FF745C' }
];
//initiate the MultiSelect
let msObject: MultiSelect = new MultiSelect({
// bind the sports Data to datasource property
dataSource: colorsData,
// maps the appropriate column to fields property
fields: { text: 'Color', value: 'Code' },
// set the value to MultiSelect
value: ['#75523C', '#4CD242', '#FF745C'],
//set the placeholder to MultiSelect input
placeholder:"Select a color",
// set the type of mode for how to visualized the selected items in input element.
mode: 'Box',
// bind the tagging event
tagging: (e: TaggingEventArgs) => {
// set the current selected item text as class to chip element.
e.setClass((e.itemData as any)[msObject.fields.text].toLowerCase());
}
});
// render initialized multiSelect
msObject.appendTo('#select');
