Select

When there are plenty of options, use a drop-down menu to display and select desired ones.

Basic usage

v-model is the value of b-option that is currently selected.

Disabled option

Set the value of disabled in b-option to true to disable this option.

Clearable single select

You can clear Select using a clear icon.

Set clearable attribute for b-select and a clear icon will appear. Note that clearable is only for single select.

Multiple select

Multiple select uses tags to display selected options.

Set multiple attribute for b-select to enable multiple mode. In this case, the value of v-model will be an array of selected options. By default the selected options will be displayed as Tags. You can collapse them to a text by using collapse-tags attribute. You can check them when mouse hover collapse text by using collapse-tags-tooltip attribute.

Custom template

You can customize HTML templates for options.

Insert customized HTML templates into the slot of b-option.

Grouping

Display options in groups.

Use b-option-group to group the options, and its label attribute stands for the name of the group.

Option filtering

You can filter options for your desired ones.

Adding filterable to b-select enables filtering. By default, Select will find all the options whose label attribute contains the input value. If you prefer other filtering strategies, you can pass the filter-method. filter-method is a Function that gets called when the input value changes, and its parameter is the current input value.

Remote Search

Enter keywords and search data from server.

Set the value of filterable and remote with true to enable remote search, and you should pass the remote-method. remote-method is a Function that gets called when the input value changes, and its parameter is the current input value. Note that if b-option is rendered with the v-for directive, you should add the key attribute for b-option. Its value needs to be unique, such as item.value in the following example.

Create new items

Create and select new items that are not included in select options

By using the allow-create attribute, users can create new items by typing in the input box. Note that for allow-create to work, filterable must be true. This example also demonstrates default-first-option. When this attribute is set to true, you can select the first option in the current option list by hitting enter without having to navigate with mouse or arrow keys.

TIP

If the binding value of Select is an object, make sure to assign value-key as its unique identity key name.
