  • Overview

    The KendoReact MultiSelect is a form component that displays a list of options in a popup and allows for multiple items to be selected from this list. Each selected item is rendered as a tag in the input element. The React MultiSelect component contains header and footer elements within the data list, supports virtualization and has the ability to work with custom renderers to customize the look and feel of the component.

  • Data Binding

    The KendoReact MultiSelect can be bound to various forms of data, including datasets of objects, an array of primitive values or binding directly to a single value property. Additionally, the React MultiSelect can bind separate fields to the displayed text and the underlying value.

    See React MultiSelect Data Binding demo

  • Filtering

    The built-in filtering mechanism of the KendoReact MultiSelect automatically reduces the number of available choices in the MultiSelect dropdown. Filtering can be configured in various ways, including "starts with" or "contains" to ensure the most intuitive filtering behavior for any scenario.

  • Floating Labels

    Popularized by Material Design, the floating label starts off as a placeholder in an input element only to animate out and float above the input and act as a label. The KendoReact AutoComplete component comes with support for floating labels built-in, no matter what design language you chose to incorporate it with.
