JavaScript/jQuery SelectBox - Customize Group Headers

By default, group headers display text of the key field in a bold font. If you need a more flexible solution, specify groupTemplate.

const fruitsVegetables = [{
    // ...

$(function() {
    $("#selectBoxContainer").dxSelectBox({
        dataSource: new DevExpress.data.DataSource({

            map: function(groupedItem) {
                let overallCount = 0;
                groupedItem.items.forEach(function(item) {
                    overallCount += item.count;
                });
                return $.extend(groupedItem, { overallCount: overallCount })
            }
        }),
        grouped: true,
        groupTemplate: function(groupData, _, groupElement) {
