Choosing multiple options from the dropdown means allowing the user to choose more than one option from the dropdown. Material UI for React has this component available for us and it is very easy to integrate. We can choose multiple options from the dropdown using the following approach.
Creating React Application And Installing Module:
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
npx create-react-app foldername
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:
