## What it is
ng-select is a lightweight, all-in-one native Angular select component providing dropdown, multiselect, and autocomplete functionality. It supports virtual scrolling for large datasets, custom templates, keyboard navigation, and client/server-side filtering.

## Use cases
- add a searchable dropdown select to an Angular form
- implement multiselect with tags in Angular
- autocomplete input backed by server-side search in Angular
- render a select with thousands of options using virtual scroll
- customize option and label templates in an Angular dropdown
- replace native HTML select with a keyboard-accessible Angular component

## When to choose
- you are building an Angular application and need a feature-rich select, multiselect, or autocomplete control
- you need to handle large option lists efficiently with virtual or infinite scroll
- you want custom templates, tags, and flexible client or server filtering out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are using React, Vue, or another non-Angular framework
- you need a simple native select with no custom behavior and want zero dependencies
- your Angular version is not covered by the compatibility table or falls on a known-broken release

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: angular, select, dropdown, autocomplete, multiselect, typeahead, virtual-scroll, typescript
