{ value: '4', label: 'Option 4' },
];
}

Disabled select MDB Pro component
You can make your select unselectable, by adding
[disabled]="disabled"
to
mdb-select
.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<mdb-select [options]="optionsSelect" [disabled]="disabled" placeholder="Choose your option" label="Example label"></mdb-select>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<mdb-select [options]="disOptionsSelect" placeholder="Choose your option" label="Example label"></mdb-select>
</div>
</div>
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'disabled-material-select-example',
templateUrl: 'disabled-material-select.html',
})
export class DisabledMaterialSelectComponent implements OnInit {
optionsSelect: Array<any>;
disabled: boolean = true;
disOptionsSelect: Array<any>;
ngOnInit() {
this.optionsSelect = [
{ value: '1', label: 'Option 1' } ,
{ value: '2', label: 'Option 2' } ,
{ value: '3', label: 'Option 3' } ,
];
this.disOptionsSelect = [
{ value: '1', label: 'Option 1' },
{ value: '2', label: 'Option 2' } ,
{ value: '3', label: 'Disabled option', disabled: true } ,
];
}
}
Update options dynamically MDB Pro component
To update select options dynamically mdb-select
component uses the Angular change
detection mechanism. Since Angular only checks if array reference has changed, component will not detect a change
when you add new option with push method:
this.selectOptions.push({ value: '4', label: 'Option 4' })
Insted you need to do:
this.selectOptions = [...this.selectOptions, { value: '4', label: 'Option 4'}]
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<mdb-select [options]="optionsSelect" placeholder="Choose your option" label="Example label"></mdb-select>
</div>
</div>
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'update-options-select',
templateUrl: './update-options-select.html'
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
optionsSelect: Array<any>;
ngOnInit() {
this.optionsSelect = [
{ value: '1', label: 'Option 1' },
{ value: '2', label: 'Option 2' },
{ value: '3', label: 'Option 3' },
];
setTimeout(() => {
this.optionsSelect = [...this.optionsSelect, { value: '4', label: 'Option 4' }];
}, 3000);
}
}

Angular Select - API
