The following example demonstrate about how to remove an item from DropDownList.
import { DropDownListComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-dropdowns';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
// define the array of data
private sportsData: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
{ Id: 'game1', Game: 'Badminton' },
{ Id: 'game2', Game: 'Football' },
{ Id: 'game3', Game: 'Tennis' }
];
// maps the appropriate column to fields property
private fields: object = { text: 'Game', value: 'Id' };
private dropDownListObject:any;
public onclick(){
if (this.dropDownListObject.list) {
// Remove the selected value if 0th index selected
if (this.dropDownListObject.index === 0) {
this.dropDownListObject.value = null;
this.dropDownListObject.dataBind();
}
// remove first item in list
(this.dropDownListObject.list.querySelectorAll('li')[0]).remove();
if (!this.dropDownListObject.list.querySelectorAll('li')[0]) {
this.dropDownListObject.dataSource = [];
// enable the nodata template when no data source is empty.
this.dropDownListObject.list.classList.add('e-nodata');
}
} else {
// remove first item in list
this.dropDownListObject.dataSource.splice(0, 1);
}
}
public render() {
return (
// specifies the tag for render the DropDownList component
<div>
<DropDownListComponent id="ddlelement" ref={(scope) => { this.dropDownListObject = scope; }} dataSource={this.sportsData} fields={this.fields} placeholder="Select a game" />
<button id='btn' className="e-control e-btn" onClick={this.onclick = this.onclick.bind(this)}>
Remove 0th item </button>
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));<!DOCTYPE html>
