ReactJS - Multiselect Dropdown Component

Multiselect Dropdown component is a feature rich select / dropdown / typeahead component built in ReactJS. It provides a default template that fits most use cases for a filterable multiselect dropdown.

• Configurable via props
• Total custom component overrides for all internals via render prop callbacks (with access to internal props, state and methods)
• Stylable via css (or custom components)
• Portal support for rendering dropdown outside local DOM tree. e.g. in document.body
• Auto position
• Small bundle size
