MultiSelect Dropdown

The MultiSelect Dropdown for Flutter is a powerful and customizable widget that empowers you to effortlessly manage and search through multiple items in a dropdown list. Customize the dropdown with your own style, and use the controller to programmatically control the dropdown.

Breaking Changes in v3.0.0

• The MultiSelectDropDown widget has been renamed to MultiDropdown, which now supports FormValidation.
• The MultiSelectController methods have been updated/renamed.
• The ValueItem class has replaced the DropdownItem class.
• The .network constructor has been removed and has been replaced with the future constructor, which accepts a future callback to fetch the data from the server. Use it to handle future your own way.
• onOptionsSelected has been replaced with onSelectionChange. The onSelectionChange callback is called whenever the selection changes in the dropdown, whether it is selected or deselected.
• A lot of parameters have been renamed and updated. Please check the documentation for the updated parameters.

Controller

You can use the controller to programmatically select/unselect items, clear the selection, and get the selected items, set disabled items, show/hide the dropdown. It is still in beta, will be stable in the next release.

final MultiSelectController<User> _controller = MultiSelectController<User>();

_controller.clearAll(); /// Clear all selected items

_controller.selectWhere(bool Function(DropdownItem<User>) predicate); /// Select items based on a predicate

_controller.setItems(List<DropdownItem<User>> options); /// Set items of the dropdown

_controller.addItem(DropdownItem<User> option); /// Add item to dropdown

_controller.addItems(List<DropdownItem<User>> options); /// Add  items to dropdown

_controller.disableWhere(bool Function(DropdownItem<User>) predicate); /// Disable items based on a predicate

_controller.selectAll(); /// Select all items

_controller.selectAtIndex(int index); /// Select item at index

_controller.selectWhere(bool Function(DropdownItem<User>) predicate); /// Select items based on a predicate

_controller.deselectWhere(bool Function(DropdownItem<User>) predicate); /// Deselect items based on a predicate

_controller.items; /// Get all items

_controller.selectedItems; /// Get selected items

_controller.disabledItems; /// Get disabled items

_controller.openDropdown(); /// Show the dropdown

_controller.closeDropdown(); /// Hide the dropdown if it is open
