Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. In this article, we will see how to use the Form MultiSelect Advanced with Templating and Filtering Component in Angular PrimeNG.

MultiSelect Component can be used to select multiple values from the menu. The Templating Component is mainly used to provide a template and the Filtering Component is used to filter the options from the given list.

Syntax:

<p-multiSelect [options]="countries" 
               [(ngModel)]="selectedCountries1" 
               defaultLabel="Select a Country"
               class="multiselect-custom">
    <ng-template let-value pTemplate="selectedItems">
        ...
    </ng-template>
</p-multiSelect>

Creating Angular application & module installation:

Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new appname

After creating your project folder i.e. appname, move to it using the following command.

cd appname

Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: After completing the above steps, the project structure will look like the following:
