  • close: Event - close event when the dropdown toogles off
  • searchChange: Event - search change event when the search text changes

Dropdown service

  • openDropdown(instanceId:string) - method to open a particular dropdown instance
  • closeDropdown(instanceId:string) - method to close a particular dropdown instance
  • isOpen(instanceId:string) - method to check if a particular instance dropdown is open
  • openInstances - instanceId list of all the open instances

Change detection

As of now ngx-select-dropdown uses Default change detection startegy which means dirty checking checks for immutable data types. And in Javascript Objects and arrays are mutable. So when changing any of the @Input parameters if you mutate an object change detection will not detect it. For ex:-

this.options.push({id: 34, description: 'Adding new item'});

// or

config.height = '200px';

Both the above scenarios will not trigger the change detection. In order for the componet to detect the changes what you need to do is:-

this.options = [...this.options, {id: 34, description: 'Adding new item'}];

// or

config = {...config, height:'200px'};
