## Getting Started
### Installation
- The Mutiselect Dropdown package is published on the [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2-multiselect-dropdown) Registry. 
- Install the package :
    `npm install angular2-multiselect-dropdown`

- Once installed import `AngularMultiSelectModule` from the installed package into your module as follows:

### Usage
Import `AngularMultiSelectModule` into `NgModule` in `app.module.ts`. Angular's `FormsModule` is also required.
```js
import { AngularMultiSelectModule } from 'angular2-multiselect-dropdown';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
  // ...
  imports: [
    AngularMultiSelectModule,
    FormsModule
  ]
  // ...
})

```

Declare the component data variables and options in your component where you want to consume the dropdown component.

```js

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    dropdownList = [];
    selectedItems = [];
    dropdownSettings = {};
    ngOnInit(){
        this.dropdownList = [
                              {"id":1,"itemName":"India"},
                              {"id":2,"itemName":"Singapore"},
                              {"id":3,"itemName":"Australia"},
                              {"id":4,"itemName":"Canada"},
                              {"id":5,"itemName":"South Korea"},
                              {"id":6,"itemName":"Germany"},
                              {"id":7,"itemName":"France"},
                              {"id":8,"itemName":"Russia"},
                              {"id":9,"itemName":"Italy"},
                              {"id":10,"itemName":"Sweden"}
                            ];
        this.selectedItems = [
                                {"id":2,"itemName":"Singapore"},
                                {"id":3,"itemName":"Australia"},
                                {"id":4,"itemName":"Canada"},
                                {"id":5,"itemName":"South Korea"}
                            ];
        this.dropdownSettings = { 
                                  singleSelection: false, 
                                  text:"Select Countries",
                                  selectAllText:'Select All',
                                  unSelectAllText:'UnSelect All',
                                  enableSearchFilter: true,
                                  classes:"myclass custom-class"
                                };            
    }
    onItemSelect(item:any){
        console.log(item);
        console.log(this.selectedItems);
    }
    OnItemDeSelect(item:any){
        console.log(item);
        console.log(this.selectedItems);
    }
    onSelectAll(items: any){
        console.log(items);
    }
    onDeSelectAll(items: any){
        console.log(items);
    }
}
```

Add the following component tag in you template 
```html
<angular2-multiselect [data]="dropdownList" [(ngModel)]="selectedItems" 
    [settings]="dropdownSettings" 
    (onSelect)="onItemSelect($event)" 
    (onDeSelect)="OnItemDeSelect($event)"
    (onSelectAll)="onSelectAll($event)"
    (onDeSelectAll)="onDeSelectAll($event)"></angular2-multiselect>

```

### Themes and Theming

- From v3.0.0 onwards, you need to include `default.theme.css` file to get the basic styling of the dropdown. 
- The component package has a themes folder in node_modules at `angular2-multiselect-dropdown\themes\default.theme.css`
- Include the `default.theme.css` in `angular-cli.json` (for versions below angular 6) and `angular.json` (for version 6 or more).
- [Refer this file](https://github.com/CuppaLabs/angular2-multiselect-dropdown/blob/master/angular.json) on how to add the css file to your angular project.

You can create your own theme from now on. You can have a look at example scss theming file at [Default theme](https://github.com/CuppaLabs/angular2-multiselect-dropdown/tree/master/src/themes/default.theme.scss)
