import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
 
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    dropdownList = [];
    selectedItems = [];
    dropdownSettings = {};
    ngOnInit(){
        this.dropdownList = [
                              {"id":1,"itemName":"India"},
                              {"id":2,"itemName":"Singapore"},
                              {"id":3,"itemName":"Australia"},
                              {"id":4,"itemName":"Canada"},

                              {"id":9,"itemName":"Italy"},
                              {"id":10,"itemName":"Sweden"}
                            ];
        this.selectedItems = [
                                {"id":2,"itemName":"Singapore"},
                                {"id":3,"itemName":"Australia"},
                                {"id":4,"itemName":"Canada"},
                                {"id":5,"itemName":"South Korea"}
                            ];
        this.dropdownSettings = {
                                  singleSelection: false,
                                  text:"Select Countries",
                                  selectAllText:'Select All',
                                  unSelectAllText:'UnSelect All',
                                  enableSearchFilter: true,
                                  classes:"myclass custom-class"
                                };
    }
    onItemSelect(item:any){
        console.log(item);
        console.log(this.selectedItems);
    }
    OnItemDeSelect(item:any){
        console.log(item);
        console.log(this.selectedItems);
    }
    onSelectAll(items: any){
        console.log(items);
    }
    onDeSelectAll(items: any){
