 { label: 'London', value: 'London' },
 { label: 'Tokyo', value: 'Tokyo' }
]

// App
function App() {

 // Pre-select or not
 const [selectedItems, setSelectedItems] = useState(selectedValues as MultiSelectAdvancedOption[])

 // Onchange handler
 const handleChange = (items: MultiSelectAdvancedOption[]) => setSelectedItems(items)

3. Server side search

import { useState } from 'react'

// Import component / and types if need it.
import MultiSelectAdvanced, { MultiSelectAdvancedOption } from 'react-multi-select-advanced'

// Mock data
const options = [
 { label: 'Istanbul', value: 'Istanbul' },
 { label: 'Paris', value: 'Paris' },
 { label: 'London', value: 'London' },
 { label: 'Buenos Aires', value: 'Buenos Aires' },
 { label: 'Canberra', value: 'Canberra' },

 { label: 'Reykjavík', value: 'Reykjavík' }
]

// App
function App() {

 // Pre-select or not
 const [selectedItems, setSelectedItems] = useState([] as MultiSelectAdvancedOption[])

 // Onchange handler
 const handleChange = (items: MultiSelectAdvancedOption[]) => setSelectedItems(items)

// Server side search function
const searchOnServer = async (keyword:string) => {
	try {
		// Before return the data make sure structure is matching with array of MultiSelectAdvancedOption
		return await search(keyword)
	} catch (error){
		return error
	}
}

// Mock server response
const search = async (keyword:string) => {
	return new Promise(resolve => {
		const filteredData = options.cities.filter(city => city.label.toLowerCase().includes(keyword.toLowerCase()))
		return setTimeout(() => resolve(filteredData), 500)
	})
}

 return (
