#Getting started



Install "angular-multiple-select" from bower or npm and save it in your package.json or bower.json.

For Example :

sh

$ npm install --save angular-multiple-select;

$ bower install --save angular-multiple-select





After installation include its

html

multiple-select.min.css AND

multiple-select.min.js



in your html. Then,



Include

multipleSelect

 module in your app:

For example :

javascript

angular.module('yourModuleName', [

    'multipleSelect'

]);



Now angularMultipleSelect module is injected in your module. You are ready to use it.



You can use it in 2 ways in your form :

1. If your options list is an array of objects, like :

javascript

$scope.optionsList = [

  {id: 1,  name : "Java"},

  {id: 2,  name : "C"},

  {id: 3,  name : "C++"},

  {id: 4,  name : "AngularJs"},

  {id: 5,  name : "JavaScript"}

];

html

     object-property="name"

     suggestions-arr="optionsList">



Here, in "suggestions-arr" you have to provide the options list from which user can select multiple value.

and, "object-property" is which you want to show to user. In above example "name" is the property which i want to show.



"ng-model" will give you an array of selected things.

For Ex : If user selects Java & C++, then

javascript

ng-model will have

selectedList = [

      {id: 1,  name : "Java"},

      {id: 3,  name : "C++"}

  ]



2. If your options list is an array of strings, like :

javascript

$scope.optionsList = [

  "Java",

  "C",

  "C++",

  "AngularJs",

  "JavaScript"

];

html

     suggestions-arr="optionsList">

selectedList = [

      "Java",

      "C++"

  ]

        3. Making it Required field in a Form

                                       suggestions-arr="skillsList1">

        

        

            Please select something from multiple select field





4. Fetching options list from 3rd party api/url

    

    You can specify "api-url-option" and you can process response before we capture it. Below is the Example :

javascript

        $scope.apiUrlOption = {

            method : "GET",

            responseInterceptor : function (response) {

                /*

                *

                * Process response acc. to your requirement.

                * After processing we are assuming "response.data" as "suggestionsArr".

                *

                 /

            }

        };



        Then in html no need to specify property in "object-property" attribute in directive

html

                                       api-url="{{apiPath}}"

                               suggestions-arr=""

                               api-url-option="apiUrlOption">





    Part 1. If your Api return an array of strings like :

javascript

    [

      "Java",

      "C",

      "C++",

      "AngularJs",

      "JavaScript"

    ]



    Then in html no need to specify property in "object-property" attribute in directive

html

                               api-url="{{apiPath}}"

                           suggestions-arr="">





    Part 2. If your Api return an array of objects like :

    [

      {id: 1,  name : "Java"},

      {id: 2,  name : "C"},

      {id: 3,  name : "C++"},

      {id: 4,  name : "AngularJs"},

      {id: 5,  name : "JavaScript"}

    ]



    Then in html you need to specify property in "object-property" attribute in directive

html

                                object-property="name"

                           api-url="{{apiPath}}"
