Single Select

const choices = new Choices('#single-select', { searchEnabled: false });

Multiple Select

This feature allows you to create a multiple select dropdown where users can choose multiple options. The `removeItemButton` option adds a button to each selected item to allow users to remove it.

Predefined Choices

This feature allows you to initialize the select box or text input with predefined choices. The `items` option is used to specify the initial choices.
