CustomItemTemplateDirective
Updated on Oct 30, 2025
Renders the content of the custom list item in the MultiSelect
(see example).
The template context is set to the current component.
To get a reference to the current text that is typed by the
user, use the let-customItem directive.
The CustomItemTemplate directive can only be used with the MultiSelect component.
typescript
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<kendo-multiselect [data]="listItems" [allowCustom]="true">
<ng-template kendoMultiSelectCustomItemTemplate let-customItem>
<span>New Item: {{customItem}}</span>
</ng-template>
</kendo-multiselect>
`
})
class AppComponent {
public listItems: Array<string> = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4"];
}
