Add new item component

Good morning,

I have seen a component within the Angular library that I would like to include in my project using React. The link to it is here:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dropdowns/dropdownlist/add-new-item

Are you able to advise on how I could implement this please?

 

Best wishes,

Molly

Hello, Molly,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

I investigated other possible approaches to achieve the desired functionality, however currently it seems that it cannot be achieved. Since we are constantly trying to improve our product and the desired feature is valid I have converted this thread to an official feature request and added your vote for convenience.

Please let me know in case further questions arise on this matter.

Regards,
Filip

Good afternoon,

Thanks for your response.

We would be looking to free-type into the box and have it create new on submission of the form. This is also a multi-select component rather than a dropdown. Using a modal doesn't align with our current system unfortunately, is there any other advice you can offer?

 

Best wishes,

Molly

Hello, Molly,

I reviewed the "add new item" behavior in the Angular DropDownList. While the KendoReact DropDownList doesn't currently support this functionality out of the box, you can achieve similar behavior by handling the onChange event:

While the provided example does not use the same UI as the Angular version I still hope the outlined approach might prove useful. Please let me know in case the sample above is not what you are looking for and I will assist further.
