Templates in React Drop down list component
23 Jan 202424 minutes to read
The DropDownList has been provided with several options to customize each list item, group title, selected value, header, and footer elements.
To get started with React DropDownList templates, you can check on this video:
Item template
The content of each list item within the DropDownList 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 DropDownList 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 DropDownList 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 DropDownList, and any custom element can be placed as a header element using the headerTemplate property.
In the following sample, the list items and its headers are designed and displayed as two columns similar to multiple columns of the grid.
