Package Exports
- @ng-select/ng-select
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@ng-select/ng-select) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Warning
Library is under active development and may not work as expected until stable 1.0.0 release.
Getting started
After installing the above dependencies, install ng-select
via:
npm install --save @ng-select/ng-select
Once installed you need to import our main module:
import {NgSelectModule} from '@ng-select/ng-select';
The only remaining part is to list the imported module in your application module.:
import {NgSelectModule} from '@ng-select/ng-select';
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
imports: [NgSelectModule, ...],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
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
:
map: {
'@ng-select/ng-select': 'node_modules/@ng-select/ng-select/bundles/ng-select.umd.js',
}

Basic example
This example in Plunkr
@Component({
selector: 'cities-page',
template: `
<label>City</label>
<ng-select [items]="cities"
bindLabel="name"
bindValue="id"
placeholder="Select city"
[(ngModel)]="selectedCityId">
</ng-select>
<p>
Selected city ID: {{selectedCityId}}
</p>
`
})
export class CitiesPageComponent {
cities = [
{id: 1, name: 'Vilnius'},
{id: 2, name: 'Kaunas'},
{id: 3, name: 'Pabradė'}
];
selectedCityId: any;
}
Flexible autocomplete
This example in Plunkr
In case of autocomplete you can get full control by creating simple EventEmmiter
and passing it as an input to ng-select. When you type text, ng-select will fire events to EventEmmiter to which you can subscribe and control bunch of things like debounce, http cancellation and so on.
@Component({
selector: 'select-autocomplete',
template: `
<label>Search with autocomplete in Github accounts</label>
<ng-select [items]="items"
bindLabel="login"
placeholder="Type to search"
[typeahead]="typeahead"
[(ngModel)]="githubAccount">
<ng-template ng-option-tmp let-item="item">
<img [src]="item.avatar_url" width="20px" height="20px"> {{item.login}}
</ng-template>
</ng-select>
<p>
Selected github account:
<span *ngIf="githubAccount">
<img [src]="githubAccount.avatar_url" width="20px" height="20px"> {{githubAccount.login}}
</span>
</p>
`
})
export class SelectAutocompleteComponent {
githubAccount: any;
items = [];
// event emmiter is just RxJs Subject
typeahead = new EventEmitter<string>();
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {
this.typeahead
.distinctUntilChanged()
.debounceTime(200)
.switchMap(term => this.loadGithubUsers(term))
.subscribe(items => {
this.items = items;
}, (err) => {
console.log(err);
this.items = [];
});
}
loadGithubUsers(term: string): Observable<any[]> {
return this.http.get<any>(`https://api.github.com/search/users?q=${term}`).map(rsp => rsp.items);
}
}
Custom display and option templates
This example in Plunkr
To customize look of input display or option item you can use ng-template
with ng-display-tmp
or ng-option-tmp
directives applied to it.
import {Component, NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms';
import {NgSelectModule} from '@ng-select/ng-select';
import {HttpClient, HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http';
@Component({
selector: 'select-custom-templates',
template: `
<label>Demo for ng-select with custom templates</label>
<ng-select [items]="albums"
[(ngModel)]="selectedAlbumId"
bindLabel="title"
bindValue="id"
placeholder="Select album">
<ng-template ng-display-tmp let-item="item">
<b>({{item.id}})</b> {{item.title}}
</ng-template>
<ng-template ng-option-tmp let-item="item">
<div>Title: {{item.title}}</div>
<small><b>Id:</b> {{item.id}} | <b>UserId:</b> {{item.userId}}</small>
</ng-template>
</ng-select>
<p>Selected album ID: {{selectedAlbumId || 'none'}}</p>
`
})
export class SelectCustomTemplatesComponent {
albums = [];
selectedAlbumId = null;
constructor(http: HttpClient) {
http.get<any[]>('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums').subscribe(albums => {
this.albums = albums;
});
}
}
