How to add searchable feature to a select dropdown list in angular 12?

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. Today in this blog post, I am going to tell you, How to add searchable feature to a select dropdown list in angular 12?

Guy’s Angular 12 came . if you are new then you must check below two links:

1. Angular12 Basic Tutorials
2. Angular Free Templates

Friends now I proceed onwards and here is the working code snippet and please use carefully this to avoid the mistakes:

1. Firstly friends we need fresh angular 12 setup and for this we need to run below commands but if you already have angular 12 setup then you can avoid below commands.

Secondly we should also have latest node version installed on our system:

npm install -g @angular/cli 

ng new angulardemo //Create new Angular Project

cd angulardemo // Go inside the Angular Project Folder

ng serve --open // Run and Open the Angular Project

http://localhost:4200/ // Working Angular Project Url

2. Now friends, here we need to run below commands into our project terminal to install  bootstrap(good looks), ng-select modules into our angular application:

npm i --save bootstrap

npm install --save @ng-select/ng-select

3. Now friends, here we need to add below  into our angular.json file:

"styles": [
           ...
           "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
           "node_modules/@ng-select/ng-select/themes/default.theme.css"
          
         ]...

4. Now friends we need to add below code inside src/app/app.module.ts file:

import { NgSelectModule } from '@ng-select/ng-select';

...
imports: [
   ...
    NgSelectModule
  ],
...

5. Now friends we just need to add below code into src/app/app.component.html file:

<ng-select [items]="fruits" appendTo="body" formControlName="fruitNames" placeholder="Select Fruits"></ng-select>

6. Now friends we just need to add below code into src/app/app.component.tsfile:

...
export class AppComponent {
  
  fruits = ["apple", "orange", "banana", "grapes"];
...

Now we are done friends. and please ng serve command to see the output. If you have any kind of query, suggestion and new requirement then feel free to comment below.
