Templates in React MultiSelect Dropdown
29 Aug 202624 minutes to read
The MultiSelect provides comprehensive template support to customize list items, group titles, selected values, headers, and footer elements.
Item template
Customize the content of each list item using the itemTemplate property. This allows you to create custom layouts for displaying data in each item.
In the following example, each list item displays data in a two-column layout.

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));Value template
Customize how selected values appear in the MultiSelect input using the valueTemplate property. This controls the display format of selected items. The valueTemplate applies only when the component is in delimiter mode; it does not apply to Box or chip mode.
In the following example, the selected value combines FirstName and City fields, separated by a hyphen.

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));Group template
Customize group header titles using the groupTemplate property. This template applies to both inline and floating group headers, allowing consistent group header styling. The fields.groupBy property must be configured for the group template to render.
In the following example, employees are grouped by their city.

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));Header template
Add a static header to the top of the popup list using the headerTemplate property. This allows you to place custom elements such as titles, filters, or other controls in the header area. The header template is a single static element and does not affect the layout of individual list items.
In the following example, the header displays column titles in a two-column layout above the list items.

The MultiSelect has options to show a footer element at the bottom of the popup list. Here, you can place any custom element as a footer using the footerTemplate property.
In the following sample, the footer element displays the total number of list items present in the MultiSelect.

You can also customize the popup content when a data fetch request fails at the remote server using the actionFailureTemplate property.
In the following sample, when the data fetch request fails, the MultiSelect displays a failure notification.
