Show selected options as the bootstrap dropdown menu in Html & JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to create a multi-select checkbox dropdown like this in Bootstrap, HTML and JavaScript.

I have tried I couldn't able to achieve it. I'm new to JavaScript as well However I'm just exploring the JS and make it to work but this seems really challenging for me. I don't know how to implement JS script for this.

For instance: If the user selects the countries in the multiselect checkbox I want it to show it all countries name instead of Choose option.

code:

        <div>Country</div>
        <div class="row" name="country_checkbox" id="id_row">
          <div class="dropdown">
            <a aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle" href="#">
              <span id="selected">Choose option</span><span class="caret"></span></a>


          <ul id="id_country">
            <li><label for="id_country_0"><input type="checkbox" name="country" value="US"
                  placeholder="Select Country" id="id_country_0" onclick="filter_type();">
                US</label>

            </li>
            <li><label for="id_country_1"><input type="checkbox" name="country" value="India"
                  placeholder="Select Country" id="id_country_1" onclick="filter_type();">
                India</label>

            </li>
            <li><label for="id_country_2"><input type="checkbox" name="country" value="Japan"
                  placeholder="Select Country" id="id_country_2" onclick="filter_type();">
                Japan</label>

            </li>
            <li><label for="id_country_3"><input type="checkbox" name="country" value="UK"
                  placeholder="Select Country" id="id_country_3" onclick="filter_type();">
                UK</label>
            </li>

          </ul>
        </div>

Since you are already using bootstrap, you might aswell want to use jQuery. There is a plugin called bootstrap-select for achieving a multi select like in your example, where the syntax is as follows:

<select class="selectpicker" multiple>
  <option>Mustard</option>
  <option>Ketchup</option>
  <option>Relish</option>
</select>

$(function () {
    $('select').selectpicker();
});

You might also want to have a look at this question.
