Grouping

The KendoReact MultiSelect provides the option to display grouped data inside the component. The current article discusses the following MultiSelect Grouping scenarios:

Basic Usage

To configure the data grouping in the MultiSelect component you need to define the groupField.

  • The groupField property sets the fields that defines the group name in each data item.

The MultiSelect doesn't internally group the data passed to it. To use the component in a grouping scenario, you need to use the groupBy method available in the KendoReact DataQuery package.

The following example demonstrates the MultiSelect data grouping in action.

Grouping Customization

Using the itemRender, groupHeaderItemRender, and groupStickyHeaderItemRender of the KendoReact MultiSelect component we can customize its data items, group headers, and the 'sticky' header that displays the top-most group that is currently being scrolled.

By customizing the templates passed to each of the listed above properties you can modify the grouped MultiSelect data the way your scenario needs it.
