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.
Like the Select
component, you can use the options
prop to pass an array of strings or objects.
<script setup>
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']
const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" />
</template>
Multiple
You can use the multiple
prop to select multiple values.
<script setup>
const people = [...]
const selected = ref([])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" multiple placeholder="Select people" />
</template>
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
.
<script setup>
const people = [{
id: 'benjamincanac',
label: 'benjamincanac',
href: 'https://github.com/benjamincanac',
target: '_blank',
avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4' }
},
{
id: 'Atinux',
label: 'Atinux',
href: 'https://github.com/Atinux',
target: '_blank',
avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/904724?v=4' }
},
{
id: 'smarroufin',
label: 'smarroufin',
href: 'https://github.com/smarroufin',
target: '_blank',
avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7547335?v=4' }
},
{
id: 'nobody',
label: 'Nobody',
icon: 'i-heroicons-user-circle'
}]
const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu v-model="selected" :options="people">
<template #label>
<UIcon v-if="selected.icon" :name="selected.icon" class="w-4 h-4" />
<UAvatar v-else-if="selected.avatar" v-bind="selected.avatar" size="3xs" />
{{ selected.label }}
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>
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
.
<script setup>
const people = [{
id: 1,
name: 'Wade Cooper'
}, {
id: 2,
name: 'Arlene Mccoy'
}, {
id: 3,
name: 'Devon Webb'
}, {
id: 4,
name: 'Tom Cook'
}]
const selected = ref(people[0].id)
const current = computed(() => people.find(person => person.id === selected.value))
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
:options="people"
placeholder="Select people"
value-attribute="id"
option-attribute="name"
>
<template #label>
{{ current.name }}
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>
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
.
<USelectMenu selected-icon="i-heroicons-hand-thumb-up-solid" />
Search
Use the searchable
prop to enable search.
Use the searchable-placeholder
prop to set a different placeholder.
This will use Headless UI Combobox component instead of Listbox.
<USelectMenu searchable searchable-placeholder="Search a person..." />
Async search
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.
<script setup>
const search = async (q) => {
const users = await $fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', { params: { q } })
return users.map(user => ({ id: user.id, label: user.name, suffix: user.email })).filter(Boolean)
}
const selected = ref([])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
:searchable="search"
placeholder="Search for a user..."
multiple
by="id"
/>
</template>
Create option
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.
<script setup>
const options = ref([
{ id: 1, name: 'bug', color: 'd73a4a' },
{ id: 2, name: 'documentation', color: '0075ca' },
{ id: 3, name: 'duplicate', color: 'cfd3d7' },
{ id: 4, name: 'enhancement', color: 'a2eeef' },
{ id: 5, name: 'good first issue', color: '7057ff' },
{ id: 6, name: 'help wanted', color: '008672' },
{ id: 7, name: 'invalid', color: 'e4e669' },
{ id: 8, name: 'question', color: 'd876e3' },
{ id: 9, name: 'wontfix', color: 'ffffff' }
])
const selected = ref([])
const labels = computed({
get: () => selected.value,
set: async (labels) => {
const promises = labels.map(async (label) => {
if (label.id) {
return label
}
// In a real app, you would make an API call to create the label
const response = {
name: label.name,
color: generateColorFromString(label.name)
}
options.value.push(response)
return response
})
selected.value = await Promise.all(promises)
}
})
// Look at the component example to see how this is used
function generateColorFromString (str) {
// ...
}
</script>

Slots
label
You can override the #label
slot and handle the display yourself.
<script setup>
const people = [...]
const selected = ref([])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" multiple>
<template #label>
<span v-if="selected.length" class="truncate">{{ selected.join(', ') }}</span>
<span v-else>Select people</span>
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>
default
You can also override the #default
slot entirely.
<script setup>
const people = [...]
const selected = ref(people[3])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu v-slot="{ open }" v-model="selected" :options="people">
<UButton color="gray">
{{ selected }}
<UIcon name="i-heroicons-chevron-right-20-solid" class="w-5 h-5 transition-transform" :class="[open && 'transform rotate-90']" />

slot to customize the option content. You will have access to the option
, active
and selected

<USelectMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" option-attribute="name">
<template #label>
<span :class="[selected.online ? 'bg-green-400' : 'bg-gray-200', 'inline-block h-2 w-2 flex-shrink-0 rounded-full']" aria-hidden="true" />
<span class="truncate">{{ selected.name }}</span>
</template>
<template #option="{ option: person }">
<span :class="[person.online ? 'bg-green-400' : 'bg-gray-200', 'inline-block h-2 w-2 flex-shrink-0 rounded-full']" aria-hidden="true" />
<span class="truncate">{{ person.name }}</span>
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>
option-empty

<q>{{ query }}</q> not found
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>
option-create
