export class MyClass implements OnInit {
optionsModel: number[];
myOptions: IMultiSelectOption[];
ngOnInit() {
this.myOptions = [

onChange() {
console.log(this.optionsModel);
}
}
`
In your template, use the component directive:

Customize
Import the IMultiSelectOption and IMultiSelectTexts interfaces to enable/override settings and text strings:
`js
// Default selection
optionsModel: number[] = [1, 2];
// Settings configuration
mySettings: IMultiSelectSettings = {
enableSearch: true,
checkedStyle: 'fontawesome',
buttonClasses: 'btn btn-default btn-block',
dynamicTitleMaxItems: 3,
displayAllSelectedText: true
};
// Text configuration
myTexts: IMultiSelectTexts = {
checkAll: 'Select all',
uncheckAll: 'Unselect all',
checked: 'item selected',
checkedPlural: 'items selected',
searchPlaceholder: 'Find',
searchEmptyResult: 'Nothing found...',
searchNoRenderText: 'Type in search box to see results...',
defaultTitle: 'Select',
allSelected: 'All selected',
};
// Labels / Parents
myOptions: IMultiSelectOption[] = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Car brands', isLabel: true },
{ id: 2, name: 'Volvo', parentId: 1 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Honda', parentId: 1 },
{ id: 4, name: 'BMW', parentId: 1 },

Although this dropdown is designed for multiple selections, a common request is to only allow a single selection without requiring the user to unselect their previous selection each time. This can be accomplished by setting selectionLimit to 1 and autoUnselect to true.

{
...
selectionLimit: 1,
autoUnselect: true,
...
}

This Plunker link demonstrates an implementation of lazy loading: Lazy loading Plunker
If using search during lazy load, the search term must be supplied to the back end to return the appropriate number of results. Standard inline search will not work, since the front end does not know how many items to load to retrieve the desired number of matches.
If `selectAddedValues` is set to `true` for lazy loading, all values loaded to the checklist are checked when matching `Select All` criteria. If a search is used with `Select All`, each search is added to a collection to be matched against when scrolling in. If `selectAddedValues` is false, only presently viewed matches will check on `Select All`.
If a user searches countries on `al` and clicks `Select All`, all matches will be selected as they load in on scrolling. If the user clears the search box, only matches to `al` will select upon scrolling in all country values.
If the user then searches `an` and clicks `Select All`, all matches to `an` and `al` will select upon scrolling in. If the user then clicks `Unselect All` while `an` is the search criteria, all matches to `an` will clear, except those that match `al`, which is still stored.
Clicking `Select All` or `Unselect All` with no search criteria present will clear all previously stored searches. Any search match that is manually unchecked will remain unchecked unless matched by a new search `Select All`.
The implementor will be responsible for completing checks when the form is submitted. This could possibly either consist of completing the load of all lazy load checklists before submitting or sending checked items and search criteria to a back-end api to complete.
