Getting started


Step 1: Install ng-select:


NPM


  1. ``` shell
  2. npm install --save @ng-select/ng-select
  3. ```

YARN


  1. ``` shell
  2. yarn add @ng-select/ng-select
  3. ```

Step 2: Import the NgSelectModule and angular FormsModule module:


  1. ``` js
  2. import { NgSelectModule } from '@ng-select/ng-select';
  3. import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

  4. @NgModule({
  5.   declarations: [AppComponent],
  6.   imports: [NgSelectModule, FormsModule],
  7.   bootstrap: [AppComponent]
  8. })
  9. export class AppModule {}
  10. ```

Step 3: Include a theme:


To allow customization and theming, ng-select bundle includes only generic styles that are necessary for correct layout and positioning. To get full look of the control, include one of the themes in your application. If you're using the Angular CLI, you can add this to your styles.scss or include it in .angular-cli.json (Angular v5 and below) or angular.json (Angular v6 onwards).

  1. ``` scss
  2. @import "~@ng-select/ng-select/themes/default.theme.css";
  3. // ... or
  4. @import "~@ng-select/ng-select/themes/material.theme.css";

  5. ```

Step 4 (Optional): Configuration


You can also set global configuration and localization messages by injecting NgSelectConfig service, typically in your root component, and customize the values of its properties in order to provide default values.

  1. ``` js
  2.   constructor(private config: NgSelectConfig) {
  3.       this.config.notFoundText = 'Custom not found';
  4.       this.config.appendTo = 'body';
  5.       // set the bindValue to global config when you use the same
  6.       // bindValue in most of the place.
  7.       // You can also override bindValue for the specified template
  8.       // by defining `bindValue` as property
  9.       // Eg :
  10.       this.config.bindValue = 'value';
  11.   }
  12. ```

Usage


Define options in your consuming component:

  1. ``` js
  2. @Component({...})
  3. export class ExampleComponent {

  4.     selectedCar: number;

  5.     cars = [
  6.         { id: 1, name: 'Volvo' },
  7.         { id: 2, name: 'Saab' },
  8.         { id: 3, name: 'Opel' },
  9.         { id: 4, name: 'Audi' },
  10.     ];
  11. }
  12. ```

In template use ng-select component with your options

  1. ``` html
  2. !--Using ng-option and for loop-->
  3. <ng-select [(ngModel)]="selectedCar">
  4.    <ng-option *ngFor="let car of cars" [value]="car.id">{{car.name}}</ng-option>
  5. </ng-select>
  6. !--Using items input-->
  7. <ng-select [items]="cars" 
  8.            bindLabel="name" 
  9.            bindValue="id" 
  10.            [(ngModel)]="selectedCar">
  11. </ng-select>
  12. ```

For more detailed examples see Demo page

SystemJS


If you are using SystemJS, you should also adjust your configuration to point to the UMD bundle.

In your systemjs config file, map needs to tell the System loader where to look for ng-select :

  1. ``` js
  2. map: {
  3.   '@ng-select/ng-select': 'node_modules/@ng-select/ng-select/bundles/ng-select.umd.js',
  4. }
  5. ```

NgSelectConfig configuration Configuration provider for the NgSelect component. You can inject this service and provide application wide configuration.
SELECTION_MODEL_FACTORY service DI token for SelectionModel implementation. You can provide custom implementation changing selection behaviour.

Custom selection logic


Ng-select allows to provide custom selection implementation using SELECTION_MODEL_FACTORY. To override default logic provide your factory method in your angular module.

  1. ``` js
  2. // app.module.ts
  3. providers: [
  4.     { provide: SELECTION_MODEL_FACTORY, useValue: <SelectionModelFactory>CustomSelectionFactory }
  5. ]

  6. // selection-model.ts
  7. export function CustomSelectionFactory() {
  8.     return new CustomSelectionModel();
  9. }

  10. export class CustomSelectionModel implements SelectionModel {
  11.     ...
  12. }
  13. ```

Change Detection


Ng-select component implements OnPush change detection which means the dirty checking checks for immutable data types. That means if you do object mutations like:

  1. ``` js
  2. this.items.push({id: 1, name: 'New item'})
  3. ```

Component will not detect a change. Instead you need to do:

  1. ``` js
  2. this.items = [...this.items, {id: 1, name: 'New item'}];
  3. ```

This will cause the component to detect the change and update. Some might have concerns that this is a pricey operation, however, it is much more performant than running ngDoCheck and constantly diffing the array.

Custom styles


If you are not happy with default styles you can easily override them with increased selector specificity or creating your own theme. This applies if you are using no ViewEncapsulation or adding styles to global stylesheet. E.g.

  1. ``` html
  2. <ng-select class="custom"></ng-select>
  3. ```

  1. ``` css
  2. .ng-select.custom {
  3.     border:0px;
  4.     min-height: 0px;
  5.     border-radius: 0;
  6. }
  7. .ng-select.custom .ng-select-container  {            
  8.     min-height: 0px;
  9.     border-radius: 0;
  10. }
  11. ```

If you are using ViewEncapsulation, you could use special ::ng-deep selector which will prevent scoping for nested selectors altough this is more of a workaround and we recommend using solution described above.

  1. ``` css
  2. .ng-select.custom ::ng-deep .ng-select-container  {            
  3.     min-height: 0px;
  4.     border-radius: 0;
  5. }
  6. ```

WARNING: Keep in mind that ng-deep is deprecated and there is no alternative to it yet. See Here.

Validation state


By default when you use reactive forms validators or template driven forms validators css class ng-invalid will be applied on ng-select. You can show errors state by adding custom css style

  1. ``` css
  2. ng-select.ng-invalid.ng-touched .ng-select-container {
  3.     border-color: #dc3545;
  4.     box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075), 0 0 0 3px #fde6e8;
  5. }
  6. ```
