A component allowing users to select multiple options from a list
A multi-select component enables users to select multiple options from a list, providing flexibility in data entry and selection.
Multi-select components offer the following key features:
Value: The value of a multi-select is an array that contains the selected option values as strings. Users can select multiple options simultaneously.
Options: The "Options" input allows you to define the available options for selection. Each option should be an object within an array.
Option Label: The "Option Label" property specifies the label or display text for each option.
Option Value: The "Option Value" property assigns a value to each option.
Label: The label is the text displayed above the multi-select, providing context for the user.
Hint: A hint can be displayed below the multi-select to offer additional guidance or instructions to users.
Placeholder: Optionally, specify a placeholder text to describe the expected selection.
Disabled: When enabled, the "Disabled" property makes the multi-select unchangeable, preventing user interaction.
Styles: Customize the initial styles of the multi-select to align with your application's design.
To use multi-select components in your application, follow these steps:
Value: Utilize the "Value" property to set or retrieve the selected options as an array of values.
Options: Define the available options using the "Options" input, and configure each option with labels and values.
