select2 data structure

type Select2Data = (Select2Group | Select2Option)[];

export interface Select2Group {
    /** label of group */
    label: string;
    /** options list */
    options: Select2Option[];
    /** add classes  */
    classes?: string;
    /** template id  */
    templateId?: string;
    /** template data  */
    data?: any;
}

export interface Select2Option {
    /** value  */
    value: Select2Value;
    /** label of option */
    label: string;
    /** no selectable is disabled */
    disabled?: boolean;
    /** for identification */
    id?: string;
    /** add classes  */
    classes?: string;
    /** template id  */
    templateId?: string;
    /** template data  */
    data?: any;
    /** hide this option */
    hide?: boolean;
}

type Select2Value = string | number | boolean | object;

type Select2UpdateValue = Select2Value | Select2Value[];

export interface Select2UpdateEvent<U extends Select2UpdateValue = Select2Value> {
    component: Select2;
    value: U;
    options: Select2Option[];
}

export interface Select2SearchEvent<U extends Select2UpdateValue = Select2Value> {
    component: Select2;
    value: U;
    search: string;
}

export interface Select2RemoveEvent<U extends Select2UpdateValue = Select2Value> {
    component: Select2;
    value: U;
    removedOption: Select2Option;
}

export interface Select2ScrollEvent {
    component: Select2;
    way: 'up' | 'down';
    search: string;
}

Templating

Unique template

<select2 [data]="data" [templates]="template">
    <ng-template #template let-data="data"><strong>{{data?.color}}</strong>: {{data?.name}}</ng-template>
</select2>

const data: Select2Data = [
    {
        value: 'heliotrope',
        label: 'Heliotrope',
        data: { color: 'white', name: 'Heliotrope' },
    },
    {
        value: 'hibiscus',
        label: 'Hibiscus',
        data: { color: 'red', name: 'Hibiscus' },
    },
];

Template group & option

<select2 [data]="data" [templates]="{option : option, group: group}">
    <ng-template #option let-data="data">{{data?.name}}</ng-template>
    <ng-template #group let-label="label">Group: {{label}}</ng-template>
</select2>

No difference in data structure. The template is defined by its type, option or group, automatically.

Template by templateId

<select2 [data]="data" [templates]="{template1 : template1, template2: template2}">
    <ng-template #template1 let-data="data">{{data?.name}}</ng-template>
    <ng-template #template2 let-label="label" let-data="data">{{label}} : {{data?.color}}</ng-template>
</select2>

const data: Select2Data = [
    {
        value: 'heliotrope',
        label: 'Heliotrope',
        data: { color: 'white', name: 'Heliotrope' },
        templateId: 'template1',
    },
    {
        value: 'hibiscus',
        label: 'Hibiscus',
        data: { color: 'red', name: 'Hibiscus' },
        templateId: 'template2',
    },
];

Overlay

If the overlay mode is used / activated, add to the project root in CSS (with ViewEncapsulation.None)

@import '~@angular/cdk/overlay-prebuilt.css';

CSS variables (doesn't work on IE11)

It's possible to change different colors (and more) with CSS variables without having to modify them with ::ng-deep or other CSS rules :

:root {
    /* label */
    --select2-label-text-color: #000;
    --select2-required-color: red;

    /* selection */
    --select2-selection-border-radius: 4px;
    --select2-selection-background: #fff;
    --select2-selection-disabled-background: #eee;

    --select2-selection-focus-border-color: #000;

    --select2-selection-choice-background: #e4e4e4;
    --select2-selection-choice-text-color: #000;
    --select2-selection-choice-border-color: #aaa;
    --select2-selection-choice-close-color: #999;

    --select2-material-underline: #ddd;
    --select2-material-underline-active: #5a419e;
    --select2-material-underline-disabled: linear-gradient(
        to right,
        rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.26) 0,
        rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.26) 33%,
        transparent 0
    );
    --select2-material-underline-invalid: red;
    --select2-material-placeholder-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.38);
    --select2-material-selection-background: #ddd;
    --select2-material-option-selected-background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04);
    --select2-material-option-highlighted-text-color: #000;
    --select2-material-option-selected-text-color: #ff5722;
}
