How to clear ng-select selection

Question

Is it possible to programmatically clear the selection of an ng-select dropdown? I\'m wanting the equivalent behaviour of clicking the clear icon, but triggered programmatically

Answer 1

Even thought @Buczkowski answer clears ng-select, it also does a focus on input, which isn't needed for all cases. So i used other method: clearModel

  // Access ng-select
  @ViewChild(NgSelectComponent) ngSelectComponent: NgSelectComponent;

  // Call to clear
  this.ngSelectComponent.clearModel();

So if you need to just clear input, use clearModel method. Else if focus and clear is needed, use handleClearClick.
