import {AppComponent} from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule
        SelectModule
    ],
    bootstrap: [
        AppComponent
    ]
})
export class AppModule {}

Limitations

Scalability

For now, this component is not suitable for large numbers of options. If the dropdown is opened, all options are added to the DOM, which will cause browser performance issues for large numbers of options. Therefore, if you have more that a few hundred options, then you will be better of with another solution.

Drop down positioning
