Usage

Use the v-model directive to control the value of the Select or the default-value prop to set the initial value when you do not need to control its state.

Items

Use the items prop as an array of strings, numbers or booleans:

::component-code

ignore:

• modelValue
• items external:
• modelValue
• items props: modelValue: 'Backlog' items:
  • Backlog
  • Todo
  • In Progress
  • Done

---

::

You can also pass an array of objects with the following properties:

• label?: string{lang="ts-type"}
• value?: string{lang="ts-type"}
• type?: "label" | "separator" | "item"{lang="ts-type"}
• icon?: string{lang="ts-type"}
• avatar?: AvatarProps{lang="ts-type"}
• chip?: ChipProps{lang="ts-type"}
• disabled?: boolean{lang="ts-type"}
