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) {
// ...
}

</template>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']" />
</UButton>
</USelectMenu>
</template>option
Use the #option slot to customize the option content. You will have access to the option, active and selected properties in the slot scope.
<script setup>
const people = [
{ name: 'Wade Cooper', online: true },
{ name: 'Arlene Mccoy', online: false },
{ name: 'Devon Webb', online: false },
{ name: 'Tom Cook', online: true },
{ name: 'Tanya Fox', online: false },
{ name: 'Hellen Schmidt', online: true },
{ name: 'Caroline Schultz', online: true },
{ name: 'Mason Heaney', online: false },

{ name: 'Emil Schaefer', online: false }
]
const selected = ref(people[3])
</script>
<template>
<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
Use the #option-empty slot to customize the content displayed when the searchable prop is true and there is no options. You will have access to the query property in the slot scope.
<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" searchable>
<template #option-empty="{ query }">
<q>{{ query }}</q> not found
</template>
</USelectMenu>
</template>option-create
Use the #option-create slot to customize the content displayed when the creatable prop is true and there is no options. You will have access to the query property in the slot scope.
