Answer 1

Components >= 9.1.0

Selection list now supports a single selection mode directly. Enable it with the multiple input set to false.

Components < 9.1.0

You have to set SelectionModel for selectedOptions property of component reference on init.

@ViewChild(MatSelectionList, {static: true})
private selectionList: MatSelectionList;

ngOnInit() {
    this.selectionList.selectedOptions = new SelectionModel(false);
}

This way you can define initially selected values too.

export declare class SelectionModel {
    constructor(_multiple?: boolean, initiallySelectedValues?: T[], _emitChanges?: boolean);
}
