vue-multiselect

Probably the most complete selecting solution for Vue.js, without jQuery.

Features & characteristics:

• NO dependencies
• Single select
• Multiple select
• Tagging
• Dropdowns
• Filtering
• Search with suggestions
• Logic split into mixins
• Basic component and support for custom components
• Vuex support
• Async options support
• > 95% test coverage
• Fully configurable (see props list below)

Demo & docs

Install & basic usage

npm install vue-multiselect

<template>
  <div>
    <multiselect :selected.sync="selected" :options="options"></multiselect>
  </div>
</template>

import Multiselect from 'vue-multiselect'
export default {
  components: { Multiselect },
  data () {
    return {
      selected: null,
      options: ['list', 'of', 'options']
    }
  }
}

You can now author custom components based on vue-multiselect mixins.

import { multiselectMixin, pointerMixin } from 'vue-multiselect'
export default {
  mixins: [multiselectMixin, pointerMixin],
  data () {
    return {
      selected: null,
      options: ['list', 'of', 'options']
    }
  }
}

Roadmap:

• Option grouping
• Better mobile support
• Stateless dropdowns (with no selected prop, just action pickers / search boxes)
• RTL support, accessibility
• Examples of custom components / templates ready to use in project
• Reworking the documentation to include much more examples and use cases
• Fix problem with not counting the height of the option element when creating a custom element. This is important for scrolling the options viewport when using highlighting pointer.

Examples

in jade-lang/pug-lang

Single select / dropdown

multiselect(
  :options="source",
  :selected.sync="value",
  :multiple="false",
  :searchable="false",
  placeholder="Select one",
  label="name",
  :close-on-select="false",
  :allow-empty="false",
  key="name"
)

Single select with search

multiselect(
  :options="source",
  :selected.sync="value",
  :multiple="false",
  :searchable="true",
  placeholder="Select one",
  label="name",
  :close-on-select="true",
  :clear-on-select="false"
  key="name"
)

Multiple select with search

multiselect(
  :options="source",
  :selected.sync="multiValue",
  :multiple="true",
  :searchable="true",
  placeholder="Pick some",
  label="name",
  :close-on-select="true"
  key="name"
)

Tagging

with :on-tag and :on-change callback functions

multiselect(
  :options="taggingOptions",
  :selected="taggingSelected",
  :multiple="multiple",
  :searchable="searchable",
  :on-tag="addTag",
  :on-change="updateSelectedTagging",
  :taggable="true",
  tag-placeholder="Add this as new tag"
  placeholder="Type to search or add tag"
  label="name"
  key="code"
)

addTag (newTag) {
  const tag = {
    name: newTag,
    code: newTag.substring(0, 2) + Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000000))
  }
  this.taggingOptions.push(tag)
  this.taggingSelected.push(tag)
},

Vuex supporting example

with :on-change callback function

multiselect(
  :options="source",
  :selected="value",
  :multiple="false",
  :searchable="false",
  placeholder="Select one",
  :on-change="onChangeAction"
)

methods: {
  onChangeAction (newValue) {
    dispatch('SET_SELECT_VALUE', newValue)
  }
}

Asynchronous dropdown

multiselect(
  :options="countries",
  :selected.sync="selectedCountries",
  :multiple="multiple",
  :searchable="searchable",
  placeholder="Type to search",
  :on-search-change="asyncFind",
  label="name"
  key="code"
)
  span(slot="noResult").
    Oops! No elements found. Consider changing the search query.

methods: {
  asyncFind (query) {
    this.countries = findService(query)
  }
}
