Selection of multiple items

[heruan]

This element is similar to the native browser <select>, but it lacks the possibility to select multiple items.

The same feature is widely requested also for vaadin-combo-box in https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-combo-box/issues/88 but it would be also very useful for this component; also, it may be quicker to implement here and let migrations blocked by this missing feature begin 🙂

Any milestone for this? I'm currently using a grid for multiple selections, but is a huge overkill and it occupies a lot of space.

Where I can stick with a single selection for now, which of vaadin-select and vaadin-combo-box is more likely to have multiple selection first? So that I can plan to use that and prevent a change of component later!

I've reached the point where I have more use cases of multi-selection with vaadin-select rather than vaadin-combo-box 🙂 Any ETA for this?

@gatanaso has been hard at work on https://github.com/gatanaso/multiselect-combo-box/ is this maybe useful to you?

[heruan]

@lkraav I'm aware of that great component! This is specific for vaadin-select, though. I'd also need Flow integrations, for which I did already give a try but I couldn't figure out how to make it work with data providers.

@heruan If it helps in any way, I have also implemented the multiselect-combob-box flow integration: https://github.com/gatanaso/multiselect-combo-box-flow that also works with data providers.
Though, if your use case explicitly requires the vaadin-select then this is the correct place to raise that issue 🙂

Would this be a suitable option vaadin/vaadin-list-box#10? If you set the native <select> to multiple mode, it will turn into a listbox selector

[heruan]

Any news about this, after a year? I've opened this on the web component, but to have the feature in the Flow integration then.

Selecting multiple items is now possible by vaadin-list-box (vaadin/vaadin-list-box#49). Closing as done.
