The angular-dual-listbox is an Angular 4+ component that provides two lists controls side-by-side that allows items in one list to be moved to the other list via drag-and-drop and/or a button-based interface. The component supports multiple select options from the list, programatic setting of list sources, and layout with direction and button formatting.

A working demo shows the dual listbox in action.

$ npm i angular-dual-listbox --save

The angular-dual-listbox should work as-is with webpack/angular-cli. Just add the AngularDualListBoxModule:

import { AngularDualListBoxModule } from 'angular-dual-listbox';

@NgModule({
    imports: [ AngularDualListBoxModule ],
    ...
})
export class AppModule {}

See also the basic-dual-list-demo for a sample project using this module.

Basic usage is:

<dual-list [source]="source" [(destination)]="confirmed"></dual-list>

The following parameters can be set on a dual-list:

• key - The unique identifier field of each object in the source and destination arrays, default is _id. (With a source of an array of strings, each string is its own id.)
• display - The field of each object for displaying the object each the lists, default is _name. (With a source of an array of strings, each string is its own display.)
• height - The height of the lists, default is 100px.
• format - A format object, default is { add: 'Add', remove: 'Remove', all: 'All', none: 'None', direction: 'left-to-right' }
• filter - A boolean whether or not to display a filter for the lists, default is false.
• sort - A boolean whether or not to keep the lists sorted, default is false.
• compare - A compare function to be used for sorting the lists. Note if sort is not set and compare is set, then sort will be set true.
• source - The source array of objects or strings for the list. (This is the universal, master list of all possible objects.)
• destination The destination array of objects or strings selected from the source. Note, the destination array can have prexisting elements.

For more usage examples, see the demo-app.component.ts.

The html template packaged with this component is based on Bootstap 3; however it can be overridden for customization. Here is an example:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DualListComponent } from 'angular-dual-listbox/dual-list.component';

@Component({
    selector: 'custom-dual-list',
    templateUrl: './custom-dual-list.component.html',
    styleUrls: [ './custom-dual-list.component.css' ]
})
export class CustomDualListComponent extends DualListComponent {
}

See dual-list.component.html and dual-list.component.css for template and style guidance. There is also an Angular-CLI seed project, custom-dual-listbox, available with an example of a customized view and extended functionality.
