Select All

The MultiSelect component has in-built support to select the all list items using Select All options in the header.

When the showSelectAll property is set to true, by default Select All text will show. You can customize the name attribute of the Select All option by using selectAllText.

For the unSelect All option, by default unSelect All text will show. You can customize the name attribute of the unSelect All option by using unSelectAllText.
