The MultiSelect allows user to add a new non-present option to the component value when allowCustomValue is enabled.
while selecting the new custom value customValueSelection event will be triggered.
The following sample demonstrates configuration of custom value support with the MultiSelect component.
import { MultiSelectComponent } 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 JSON of data
private sportsData: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
{ id: 'game1', sports: 'Badminton' },
{ id: 'game2', sports: 'Football' },
{ id: 'game3', sports: 'Tennis' }
];
// maps the appropriate column to fields property
private fields: object = { text: 'sports', value: 'id' };
public render() {
return (
// specifies the tag for render the MultiSelect component
<MultiSelectComponent id="mtselement" dataSource={this.sportsData} fields={this.fields} placeholder="Select a game" allowCustomValue={true} />
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));<!DOCTYPE html>
