MultiSelect

Directive

kendo-multiselect

Props

animation Boolean | Object

Configures the opening and closing animations of the suggestion popup (animation in Kendo UI for jQuery). Setting the animation option to false disables the opening and closing animations. As a result, the suggestion popup will open and close instantly. The supported composite props are available in AnimationProps.

auto-bind Boolean

Defines whether to bind the widget to the data source upon its initialization (autoBind in Kendo UI for jQuery).

auto-close Boolean

Indicates whether to close the suggestion list on item selection (autoClose in Kendo UI for jQuery).

auto-width Boolean

If auto-width is set to true, the MultiSelect automatically adjusts the width of the popup element and does not wrap up the item label (autoWidth in Kendo UI for jQuery).

clear-button Boolean

If clear-button is set to true, the MultiSelect renders a button on hover over the widget (clearButton in Kendo UI for jQuery). Clicking that button resets the value of the AutoComplete and triggers the change event.

data-source Object | Array

The data source of the MultiSelect which is used to display a list of values (dataSource in Kendo UI for jQuery).

The supported values are:

  • A JavaScript object which represents any valid data source configuration.
  • A JavaScript array.
  • An existing kendo.data.DataSource instance.

If the dataSource option is set to a JavaScript object or an array, the MultiSelect initializes a new kendo.data.DataSource instance by using that value as the data source configuration. If the dataSource option is an existing kendo.data.DataSource instance, the MultiSelect uses that instance and will not initialize a new one.

data-text-field String

The field of the data item which provides the text content of the list items (dataTextField in Kendo UI for jQuery). Based on the data-text filed, the MultiSelect filters its data source.

data-value-field String

The field of the data item that provides the value of the widget (dataValueField in Kendo UI for jQuery).

delay Number

The delay (in milliseconds) before the MultiSelect starts to filter its data source (delay in Kendo UI for jQuery).

enable Boolean

If enable is set to false, the MultiSelect will be disabled and will prevent user input (enable in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, the MultiSelect is enabled and allows user input.

enforce-min-length Boolean

If enforce-min-length is set to true, the MultiSelect will hide part of its items when the text of the search input is cleared (enforceMinLength in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, the AutoComplete shows all items when the text of the search input is cleared. Works together with minLength.

filter String

Determines the suggestions for the current value (filter in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, filtering is disabled and can be performed over string values only—the data has to be an array of strings or configured in the dataTextField option.

The supported filter values are:

  • startswith
  • endswith
  • contains

fixed-group-template String | Function

The template for rendering the fixed header group (fixedGroupTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, the MultiSelect displays only the value of the current group.

The template for rendering the footer template (footerTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery). Receives the MultiSelect itself as part of the data argument. The fields of the MultiSelect have to be used directly in the template.

group-template String | Function

The template for rendering the groups (groupTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, the MultiSelect displays only the value of the group.

height Number

The height (in pixels) of the suggestion popup (height in Kendo UI for jQuery). Defaults to 200px.

highlight-first Boolean

If highlight-first is set to true, the first suggestion will be automatically highlighted (highlightFirst in Kendo UI for jQuery).

ignore-case Boolean

If ignore-case is set to false, the performed search for finding suggestions will be case-sensitive (ignoreCase in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, the MultiSelect performs case-insensitive search.

min-length Number

The minimum number of characters which the user must type before a search is performed (minLength in Kendo UI for jQuery). If you set min-length to a value higher than one, the search might match too many items. If you set a zero value, the MultiSelect will make a request as soon as the user focuses the widget.

max-selected-items Number

Defines the limit of the selected items (maxSelectedItems in Kendo UI for jQuery. If max-selected-items is set to null, the widget will not limit number of the selected items.

no-data-template String | Function

The template for rendering the no-data template which is displayed if no results are found or if the underlying data source is empty (noDataTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery). The no-data template receives the widget itself as part of the data argument. The template will be evaluated each time databound is triggered.

placeholder String

The hint which is displayed when the widget is empty (placeholder in Kendo UI for jQuery). By default, placeholder is not set.

popup Object

The options for initializing the popup (popup in Kendo UI for jQuery). The supported composite props are available in PopupProps.

header-template String | Function

Specifies static HTML content which will be rendered as a header of the popup element (headerTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery).

item-template String | Function

The template for rendering the items in the popup list (itemTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery).

tag-template String | Function

The template for rendering the tags (tagTemplate in Kendo UI for jQuery).

tag-mode String

The mode for rendering the selected tags (tagMode in Kendo UI for jQuery).

The supported modes are:

  • multiple—Renders a tag for every selected value.
  • single—Renders only one tag that shows the number of the selected values.

value Array

The value of the widget (value in Kendo UI for jQuery).

value-primitive Boolean

Specifies the value-binding behavior for the widget when the initial model value is null (valuePrimitive in Kendo UI for jQuery).

  • If value-primitive is set to true, the View-Model field is updated with the selected item text field.
  • If value-primitive is set to false, the View-Model field is updated with the selected item.

virtual Boolean | Object

Enables the virtualization feature of the widget (virtual in Kendo UI for jQuery). You can set virtual to an object which contains the itemHeight and valueMapper properties. For more information, refer to the article on virtualization. The supported composite props are available in VirtualProps.
