Multiselect

The Multiselect component enables users to select multiple options from a predefined list, making it ideal for gathering multiple inputs.

Data

Property	Description	Expected Value
Label	Text to display as the label for the component.	String (e.g., Select an option).
Placeholder	Text to display when none of the options are selected.	String (e.g., Select the loan type).

Options

Allows you to add options to the multiselect component field. You can click on Add new option and add options manually or enable Dynamic options and enter the options using code.

Example Code for Dynamic Options

1. Passing an array of objects and specifying each value:

{
  {
    [
      {
        label: "option1",
        value: 1,
        disable: false,
        visible: true,
        default: true,
      },
      { label: "option2", value: 2, disable: false, visible: true },
      { label: "option3", value: 3, disable: false, visible: true },
    ];
  }
}

2. Passing an array of objects with a default value from a Table component's selected row:

{
  {
    queries.getEmployees.data.map((option) => ({
      label: option.firstname,
      value: option.firstname,
      disable: false,
      visible: true,
      default: option.firstname === components.table1.selectedRow.firstname,
    }));
  }
}

Component specific actions (CSA)

The following actions of the component can be controlled using the component-specific actions (CSA), you can trigger it using an event or use a RunJS query.

Actions	Description	How To Access
clear( )	Clears the selected option.	components.multiselect1.clear()
setVisibility( )	Sets the visibility of the component.	components.multiselect1.setVisibility(false)
setLoading( )	Sets the loading state of the component.	components.multiselect1.setLoading(true)
setDisable( )	Disables the component.	components.multiselect1.setDisable(true)
selectOptions( )	Selects an option.	components.multiselect1.selectOptions(['2','3'])
deselectOptions( )	Deselects all options.	components.multiselect1.deselectOptions()

Note:

1. The data type passed to CSAs like selectOptions() depends on how you configure the component. When adding options manually using the Add new option button, values must be strings (for example, components.multiselect1.selectOptions(['2', '3'])). When using dynamic options, supply values with the correct data types as they appear in your code logic.

   For example, if the code is:

   {
     {
       [
         {
           label: "option1",
           value: 1,
           disable: false,
           visible: true,
           default: true,
         },
         { label: "option2", value: 2, disable: false, visible: true },
         { label: "option3", value: 3, disable: false, visible: true },
       ];
     }
   }

   You should pass numeric values in the selectOptions component-specific action since the value type is Number:

   components.multiselect1.selectOptions([2, 3]);

2. When using the Control Component action to trigger selectOption in CSA, the values should be passed within {{ }}, e.g., {{["1", "2"]}}.
