Angular PrimeNG Form Listbox Templates

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 ListBox Component in Angular PrimeNG.

The ListBox Component is used to make a list component from which we can select one or more items and can also be discarded if the item is not required by unchecking in the list. The Templates like header, footer, etc, are used to put some content on some pre-structured containers.

Syntax:

<p-listbox [options]="..." 
    [(ngModel)]="..." 
    optionLabel="..." 
    <ng-template let-group pTemplate="..">
        ...
    </ng-template>
</p-listbox>
