                                {"id":3,"itemName":"Australia"},

                                  text:"Select Countries",
                                  selectAllText:'Select All',
                                  unSelectAllText:'UnSelect All',
                                  enableSearchFilter: true,
                                  classes:"myclass custom-class"
                                };            
    }
    onItemSelect(item:any){
        console.log(item);
        console.log(this.selectedItems);
    }
    OnItemDeSelect(item:any){
        console.log(item);
        console.log(this.selectedItems);
    }
    onSelectAll(items: any){
        console.log(items);
