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.
<script setup lang="ts">
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 lang="ts">
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([])
</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
. Additionally, you can use dot notation (e.g., user.name
) to access nested object properties.
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { Avatar } from '#ui/types'
const people = [{
id: 'benjamincanac',
label: 'benjamincanac',

</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
.The value of the value-attribute
field in options must be unique.
<script setup lang="ts">
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)
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
:options="people"
placeholder="Select people"
value-attribute="id"
option-attribute="name"
/>
</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
.
<template>
<USelectMenu
selected-icon="i-heroicons-hand-thumb-up-solid"
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']"
/>
</template>
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.
<template>
<USelectMenu
searchable
searchable-placeholder="Search a person..."
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']"
/>
</template>
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.
<script setup lang="ts">
const options = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Wade Cooper', colors: ['red', 'yellow'] },
{ id: 2, name: 'Arlene Mccoy', colors: ['blue', 'yellow'] },
{ id: 3, name: 'Devon Webb', colors: ['green', 'blue'] },
{ id: 4, name: 'Tom Cook', colors: ['blue', 'red'] },
{ id: 5, name: 'Tanya Fox', colors: ['green', 'red'] },
{ id: 5, name: 'Hellen Schmidt', colors: ['green', 'yellow'] }
]
const selected = ref(options[1])
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
:options="options"
placeholder="Select a person"
searchable
searchable-placeholder="Search by name or color"
option-attribute="name"

<span class="truncate">{{ person.name }}</span>
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>
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
.
<template>
<USelectMenu
clear-search-on-close
class="w-full lg:w-48"
placeholder="Select a person"
searchable
searchable-placeholder="Search a person..."
:options="['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']"
/>
</template>
Control the query
Use a v-model:query
to control the search query.
<script setup lang="ts">
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()
const query = ref('Wade')
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
v-model:query="query"
:options="people"
placeholder="Select a person"
searchable
/>
</template>
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.
Use the searchableLazy
prop to control the immediacy of data requests.
<script setup lang="ts">
const loading = ref(false)
const selected = ref([])
async function search(q: string) {
loading.value = true
const users: any[] = await $fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', { params: { q } })
loading.value = false
return users
}
</script>

<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
:loading="loading"
:searchable="search"
placeholder="Search for a user..."
option-attribute="name"
multiple
trailing

</template>
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.
<script setup lang="ts">
const options = ref([
{ id: 1, name: 'bug', color: 'd73a4a' },
{ id: 2, name: 'documentation', color: '0075ca' },
{ id: 3, name: 'duplicate', color: 'cfd3d7' },

{ 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 = {
id: options.value.length + 1,
name: label.name,
color: generateColorFromString(label.name)
}
options.value.push(response)
return response
})
selected.value = await Promise.all(promises)
}
})
function hashCode(str) {
let hash = 0
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
hash = str.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash)
}
return hash
}
function intToRGB(i) {
const c = (i & 0x00FFFFFF)
.toString(16)
.toUpperCase()
return '00000'.substring(0, 6 - c.length) + c
}
function generateColorFromString(str) {
return intToRGB(hashCode(str))

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.
<script setup lang="ts">
const options = ref([
{ id: 1, name: 'bug' },
{ id: 2, name: 'documentation' },
{ id: 3, name: 'duplicate' },
{ id: 4, name: 'enhancement' },

// In a real app, you would make an API call to create the label
const response = {

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).
<script setup lang="ts">
const options = ref([
{ id: 1, name: 'bug' },
