Usage

The SelectMenu component renders by default a Select component and is based on the ui.select preset. You can use most of the Select props to configure the display if you don't want to override the default slot such as color, variant, size, placeholder, icon, disabled, etc.

You can use the ui prop like the Select component to override the default config. The uiMenu prop can be used to override the default menu config.

Like the Select component, you can use the options prop to pass an array of strings or objects.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-basic' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Multiple

You can use the multiple prop to select multiple values.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-multiple' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Objects

You can pass an array of objects to options and either compare on the whole object or use the by prop to compare on a specific key. You can configure which field will be used to display the label through the option-attribute prop that defaults to label. Additionally, you can use dot notation (e.g., user.name) to access nested object properties.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-objects' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

If you only want to select a single object property rather than the whole object as value, you can set the value-attribute property. This prop defaults to null.The value of the value-attribute field in options must be unique.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-objects-value-attribute' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Icon

Use the selected-icon prop to set a different icon or change it globally in ui.selectMenu.default.selectedIcon. Defaults to i-heroicons-check-20-solid.

::component-card

baseProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48' placeholder: 'Select a person' options: ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer'] props: selectedIcon: 'i-heroicons-hand-thumb-up-solid' excludedProps:

  • selectedIcon

Searchable

Use the searchable prop to enable search.

Use the searchable-placeholder prop to set a different placeholder or globally through the ui.selectMenu.default.searchablePlaceholder.label config. Defaults to Search....

This will use Headless UI Combobox component instead of Listbox.

::component-card

baseProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48' placeholder: 'Select a person' options: ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer'] props: searchable: true searchablePlaceholder: 'Search a person...'

::

Attributes

Use the search-attributes prop with an array of property names to search on each option object. Nested attributes can be accessed using dot.notation. When the property value is an array or object, these are cast to string so these can be searched within.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-search-attributes' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Clear on close

By default, the search query will be kept after the menu is closed. To clear it on close, set the clear-search-on-close prop.

You can also configure this globally through the ui.selectMenu.default.clearSearchOnClose config. Defaults to false.

::component-card

baseProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48' placeholder: 'Select a person' searchable: true searchablePlaceholder: 'Search a person...' options: ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer'] props: clearSearchOnClose: true

::

Control the query

Use a v-model:query to control the search query.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-search-query' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Pass a function to the searchable prop to customize the search behavior and filter options according to your needs. The function will receive the query as its first argument and should return an array.

Use the debounce prop to adjust the delay of the function.

Use the searchableLazy prop to control the immediacy of data requests.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-search-async' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Creatable

Use the creatable prop to enable the creation of new options when the search doesn't return any results (only works with searchable).

Try to search for something that doesn't exist in the example below.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-creatable' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

However, if you want to create options despite search query (apart from exact match), you can set the show-create-option-when prop to 'always'.

You can also configure this globally through the ui.selectMenu.default.showCreateOptionWhen config. Defaults to empty.

Try to search for something that exists in the example below, but not an exact match.

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-creatable-always' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Pass a function to the show-create-option-when prop to control wether or not to show the create option. This function takes two arguments: the query (as the first argument) and an array of current results (as the second argument). It should return true to display the create option.

The example below shows how to make the create option visible when the query is at least three characters long and does not exactly match any of the current results (case insensitive).

::component-example

component: 'select-menu-example-creatable-function' componentProps: class: 'w-full lg:w-48'

::

Popper

Use the popper prop to customize the popper instance.
