Angular wrapper for choices.js - vanilla, lightweight, configurable select box/text input plugin. Similar to Select2 and Selectize but without the jQuery dependency.
Live Demo - https://stackblitz.com/edit/nb-choices
- Angular forms support
- Custom Angular templates
- Placeholder support out of the box
- Works with observables and the async pipe
- Custom checkbox in multiple dropdowns
- Escaping your HTML out of the box
- Modern styling
