Is it possible to modify the mdb-select component with CSS so that an image is displayed?

Actual behavior

we need to insert an image into this component:

<mdb-form-control>
  <mdb-select [(ngModel)]="companyForm.companyId" (valueChange)="fillAppDropdown($event)">
    <mdb-option *ngFor="let company of companies" [value]="company.value">
      {{ company.label }}
    </mdb-option>
  </mdb-select>
  <label mdbLabel class="form-label">Seleccione la empresa:</label>
</mdb-form-control>

enter image description here

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

expected behavior/final result that we want

enter image description here

logo.svg has built with this code

<div mdbDropdown class="dropdown dropdown-company me-2">
                    <button
                    class="btn dropdown-toggle rounded-0 border-end"
                    type="button"
                    id="dropdownCompanyButton"
                    aria-expanded="false"
                    mdbDropdownToggle
                    >
                        <img [src]="'./assets/images/company-logos/' + companyId + '.svg'" />
                    </button>
                    <ul
                        mdbDropdownMenu
                        class="dropdown-menu"
                        aria-labelledby="dropdownCompanyButton"
                    >
                        <li *ngFor="let company of companies">
                            <a class="dropdown-item" href (click)="fillAppDropdown(company.value)">{{ company.label }}</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </div>

You can try to add an element inside . Additonally you can add some text in span. You should be able to create desired structure. I show you simple example 

      <mdb-form-control>
        <mdb-select [optionHeight]="170">
          <mdb-option *ngFor="let option of options" [value]="option.value">
            <span class="mx-3">{{ option.label }}</span
            ><img src="https://mdbcdn.b-cdn.net/img/Photos/Thumbnails/Slides/1.webp"
          /></mdb-option>
        </mdb-select>
        <label mdbLabel class="form-label">Example label</label>
      </mdb-form-control>

You should of cource link dynamic img src.

I've prepared two solutions for you. Let me know if that satisfies your needs.

In global scss file:

.form-control.select-input {
  background: url('https://mdbootstrap.com/img/new/standard/city/041.jpg') center center no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
}

Or if you want to style only specific select you can use [inputId] input and style this unique input

Template:

<mdb-select [inputId]="'custom-input'">

Scss:

#custom-input {
  background: url('https://mdbootstrap.com/img/new/standard/city/041.jpg') center center no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
}

HI @Rafał Seifert , this solution work fine .form-control.select-input { background: url('https://mdbootstrap.com/img/new/standard/city/041.jpg') center center no-repeat; background-size: cover; } but we need one image per elements in the select

Rafał Seifert free commented 9 months ago

Do you want to have an option to have a form of an image? So in dropdown you want to display options as images to choose from? Or you want standard text options but to update the image in the input field when selecting different options?

How do you want to combine mdbDropdown directive with select component? I am not sure what is your goal here. Could you explain it one more time please?

DEVGASA priority commented 9 months ago

Hi Rafael, we need the first select with a image per company as this image blank" rel="nofollow">https://usercontent.mdbootstrap.com/mdb-images/support/12f71b78-06f2-4df8-a139-4081941a12b7-screen2.jpg , Is it possible to modify the mdb-select component with CSS and add an image per company?

Have you tried to implement your feature as we show in the Select with icons example in our documentation? https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/forms/select/#section-icons

DEVGASA priority commented 9 months ago

Hi Rafał Seifert , ok we can try with this (https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/forms/select/#section-icons) , but our idea what we wanted to do is this : https://codepen.io/anjaneyulubatta505/pen/bOvoPL
