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.
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { Avatar } from '#ui/types'
const people = [{
id: 'benjamincanac',
label: 'benjamincanac',
href: 'https://github.com/benjamincanac',
target: '_blank',
avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4' }
}, {

label: 'Atinux',
href: 'https://github.com/Atinux',
target: '_blank',

}, {

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 #leading>
<UIcon v-if="selected.icon" :name="(selected.icon as string)" class="w-5 h-5" />
<UAvatar v-else-if="selected.avatar" v-bind="(selected.avatar as Avatar)" size="2xs" />
</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.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.
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"
by="id"
:search-attributes="['name', 'colors']"
>
<template #option="{ option: person }">
<span v-for="color in person.colors" :key="color.id" class="h-2 w-2 rounded-full" :class="`bg-${color}-500 dark:bg-${color}-400`" />
<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. New
<script setup lang="ts">
const loading = ref(false)
const selected = ref([])
async function search (q: string) {
loading.value = true
const users = await $fetch<any[]>('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', { params: { q } })
loading.value = false
return users
}
</script>
<template>
<USelectMenu
v-model="selected"
:loading="loading"
:searchable="search"
placeholder="Search for a user..."
option-attribute="name"
multiple
trailing
by="id"
/>
</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: 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 = {
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' },
