How to clear ng-select selection

Question

Is it possible to programmatically clear the selection of an ng-select dropdown? I'm wanting the equivalent behaviour of clicking the clear icon, but triggered programmatically.

I was expecting a clear() method or something similar, but the documented API doesn't have anything along those lines.

This is my dropdown code:

<ng-select class="ng-select-wrap"
           [searchFn]="multiTermSearch"
           [items]="calculationOptions"
           placeholder="Please select..."
           name="calculation"
           #calculationValue="ngModel"
           [(ngModel)]="selectedCalculation">
</ng-select>

Answer 1

Agree with @tim and @AlexOnozor, I have successfully used 'selectedCalculation' as 'string', 'string[]', 'object[]' with Reactive Forms ( and as 'string' with ngModel ) and your suggested method worked smoothly. I also tried using 'handleClearClick' but failed. Will update if i find my way through it.

So, this.selectedCalculation = '' or this.selectedCalculation= [] (for multipleSelect = true) should work.
