angularjsHow can I use an AngularJS multiselect component in my web application?

Using an AngularJS multiselect component in a web application is a great way to provide users with multiple selectable options. The following example code shows how to use a multiselect component with AngularJS:

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.7/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-select/0.20.0/select.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
      <ui-select multiple ng-model="selectedItems" theme="bootstrap" close-on-select="false">
        <ui-select-match placeholder="Select items">{{$item}}</ui-select-match>
        <ui-select-choices repeat="item in items | filter: $select.search">
          {{item}}
        </ui-select-choices>
      </ui-select>
    </div>
    <script>
      var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.select']);
      app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
        $scope.items = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"];
        $scope.selectedItems = ["Option 1", "Option 3"];
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

The code above will create a multiselect component with the options "Option 1", "Option 2", and "Option 3". The selected items will be "Option 1" and "Option 3".

The code consists of the following parts:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.7/angular.min.js"></script>: This line includes the AngularJS library.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-select/0.20.0/select.min.js"></script>: This line includes the Angular UI Select library, which provides the multiselect component.
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">: This line creates an AngularJS application and controller.
<ui-select multiple ng-model="selectedItems" theme="bootstrap" close-on-select="false">: This line creates the multiselect component. The multiple attribute indicates that multiple options can be selected. The ng-model attribute binds the component to the selectedItems variable in the controller, which stores the selected items. The theme attribute sets the component's styling to "bootstrap". The close-on-select attribute indicates that the component should not close when an item is selected.
<ui-select-match placeholder="Select items">{{$item}}</ui-select-match>: This line creates the placeholder text for the component.
<ui-select-choices repeat="item in items | filter: $select.search">: This line creates the list of options for the component. The repeat attribute indicates that the list of options is stored in the items variable in the controller. The filter attribute indicates that the list should be filtered based on the user's search input.
<script>: This section of code defines the controller. The items variable stores the list of options for the component, and the selectedItems variable stores the selected items.
