Select
#

selectcombobox

Select field components are used for collecting user provided information from a list of options. This component opens up a menu for the selection list and action.

Examples
#

Default select
#

Styles
#

Select styles inherit from input styles

Multiple select
#

Includes single or multiple selects.

Decorators
#

Objects as options
#

You can use objects as options. Text will be showing from text-by property from object. Value can be also returned from select using value-by instead of whole object. Comparing object values is done by track-by prop or value-by if it is not provided.
Note: Using text-by without a value-by or track-by may cause inconsistencies in expected behavior.

Value

{ "text": "First", "textBy": "First text by", "value": "1", "valueBy": "first" }

When using Objects as options, it's necessary to utilize track-by because ObjectOptions are compared by object reference by default. track-by allows resolving this comparison by either literal equality.

Track by
#

Track by can be used if you have multiple options with same value.

Value

{ "text": "First", "value": "1", "id": "1" }

Slots
#

Includes option, content, prepend, prepend-inner, append and append-inner slots.

Tagging
#

content slot allows you to overwrite default input element with custom one. So you are able to set tagging state via adding VaChip component:

State
#

Includes error, success, disabled or loading state

Searchable
#

Supports ability to filter option list by typing

Allow create
#

You can add options that initial options do not have

Validation rules
#

Select accepts an array of functions that take an input value as an argument and return either true / false or a string with an error message

Max visible selected options
#

The max-visible-options props sets amount of selected options, that will be shown inside of input wrapper. The rest will be hidden, but may be shown after clicking the badge with hidden options counter.

Displaying selected options at the top of the list
#

The selected-top-shown prop forces to display selected options at the top of the options list.

Autocomplete
#

The autocomplete prop enables autocomplete behavior for the va-select.

Icon-selection
#

The 'iconOption' property allows the addition of custom options to the select dropdown menu, each with an icon and a name.

Accessibility
#

Select has combobox role associated with listbox in dropdown menu. aria-expanded is applied if dropdown is opened. aria-label is set to $t:selectOption if value is selected and $t:noSelectedOption if value is empty. aria-controls is set to combobox-controls-${id}. aria-labelledby is set to input-label-${id}. aria-describedby is set to input-character-count-${id}. aria-activedescendant is set to option-${id}. aria-autocomplete is set to list if autocomplete is enabled. aria-owns is set to combobox-controls-${id}. aria-haspopup is set to listbox. aria-disabled is set to true if select is disabled. aria-required is set to true if select is required. aria-invalid is set to true if select is invalid. aria-multiselectable is set to true if select is multiple. aria-readonly is set to true if select is readonly.

Keyboard navigation
#

By using ARROW DOWN and ARROW UP you can move between options

By using ENTER and SPACE you can select current option

If you type while option list is opened this will create a search buffer (will reset if you do not type for 1 second) that will be used to search in the options labels
