Components: md-select multiple support

[jmiguelherazo]

feature request:

Is there support for multiple selection in md-select?

[dahaupt]

@jmiguelherazo Not yet, look here for all current features. The same applies to all other components.

But I'd also like to see multiple selection in the future.

+1'ing this to note we need multiple select for our project.
AngularJS Material supported it (see "Option Groups"): https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/select

If Material 2 isn't going to add it soon, are there any alternatives to consider?

@pdavin I need it for a project I am working on as well. This would be a great addition to have!

Has this been documented? Could not find this in documentation, or is it just me?

I also couldn't find documentation and support. Looks like this feature is not offered yet. As a workaround we can use this http://softsimon.github.io/angular-2-dropdown-multiselect/#

It has been supported for a while now. You have to add the multiple attribute to your md-select. You can see the multiple property in the API documentation: https://material.angular.io/components/select/api
