PrimeNG dropdown - disable certain SelectItems

Question

Is there an option to disable some of PrimeNG's dropdown items (SelectItems)?

I notice this discussion, is something changed?

Answer 1

You can also disable any item in primeng dropdown using ng-template, click event and custom style as below:

    cars: any[];
    selectedCar: string;

1. Initialize the cars array of object that is essentially an extension of Interface SelectItem with added property disabled: boolean

    ngOnInit(): void {
     this.cars = [];
     this.cars.push({label: 'Audi', value: 'Audi'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'BMW', value: 'BMW'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Fiat', value: 'Fiat', disabled: true});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Ford', value: 'Ford'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Honda', value: 'Honda', disabled: true});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Jaguar', value: 'Jaguar'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Mercedes', value: 'Mercedes'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Renault', value: 'Renault'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'VW', value: 'VW'});
     this.cars.push({label: 'Volvo', value: 'Volvo'});
    }
   

2. Method that gets triggered on click event

    onClick(disabled: boolean) {
            if(disabled) {
                event.stopPropagation();
            }
        }
   

3. Customizing the Primeng Dropdown using ng-template and adding ng-style

    <p-dropdown [options]="cars" [(ngModel)]="selectedCar" [style]="{'width':'150px'}">
            <ng-template let-option pTemplate="item">
                <div>
                    <div (click)="onClick(option.disabled)" [ngStyle]="option.disabled? {'color': '#ccc', 'cursor': 'default'} : ''"> {{option.label}} </div>
                </div>
            </ng-template>
        </p-dropdown>
