To get started quickly with removing items in angular DropDownList component, you can check the video below.
The following example demonstrate about how to remove an item from DropDownList.
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DropDownListComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns';
@Component({
selector: 'control-content',
// specifies the template path for DropDownList component
templateUrl: `./remove.html`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() {
}
ngAfterViewInit(){
document.getElementById('btn').onclick = () => {
// create DropDownList object
let obj: any = document.getElementById('ddlelement');
if (obj.ej2_instances[0].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
(obj.ej2_instances[0].list.querySelectorAll('li')[0]).remove();
if (!obj.ej2_instances[0].list.querySelectorAll('li')[0]) {
this.dropDownListObject.dataSource = [];
// enable the nodata template when no data source is empty.
obj.ej2_instances[0].list.classList.add('e-nodata');
}
} else {
// remove first item in list
this.dropDownListObject.dataSource.splice(0, 1);
}
}
}
// defined the array of data
public data: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [ { Id: 'game1', Game: 'Badminton' },
{ Id: 'game2', Game: 'Football' }, { Id: 'game3', Game: 'Tennis' }];
// maps the appropriate column to fields property
public fields: Object = { text: 'Game', value: 'Id' };
//set the placeholder to DropDownList input
public text: string = "Select a game";
@ViewChild('ddlelement')
public dropDownListObject = DropDownListComponent;
}
