Multiselect MDB Pro component

Bootstrap Multiselect

Bootstrap Multiselect is a jQuery based plugin that allows users to tick multiple options from a standard Bootstrap select.

Its implementation is quite simple, and in exchange brings a lot of UX value.

Examples of Bootstrap Multiselect use:

  • Ingredient choice within a pizza delivery system
  • Laptop hardware configuration an online shop
  • Flight booking customization

See the following mutliselect dropdown examples:



      <select class="mdb-select md-form colorful-select dropdown-primary" multiple searchable="Search here..">
        <option value="" disabled selected>Choose your country</option>
        <option value="1">USA</option>
        <option value="2">Germany</option>
        <option value="3">France</option>
        <option value="4">Poland</option>
        <option value="5">Japan</option>
      </select>
      <label>Label example</label>
      <button class="btn-save btn btn-primary btn-sm">Save</button>

Overwriting a standard select

MDB overwrites a standard select to replace it with our Material Select. That's why before you can use it, you have to initialize Material Select by placing the following code in your project.

In addition, you will need a separate call for any dynamically generated select elements your page generates.

Initialization:



      // Material Select Initialization
      $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.mdb-select').materialSelect();
      });

Full documentation of our select

You can find detailed documentation and all available options in our Material Select documentation.
