title: Select
When there are plenty of options, use a drop-down menu to display and select desired ones.
:::demo v-model is the value of el-option that is currently selected.
select/basic-usage
:::
:::demo Set the value of disabled in el-option to true to disable this option.
select/disabled-option
:::
Disable the whole component.
:::demo Set disabled of el-select to make it disabled.
select/disabled
:::
You can clear Select using a clear icon.
:::demo Set clearable attribute for el-select and a clear icon will appear. Note that clearable is only for single select.
select/clearable
:::
Multiple select uses tags to display selected options.
:::demo Set multiple attribute for el-select to enable multiple mode. In this case, the value of v-model will be an array of selected options. By default the selected options will be displayed as Tags. You can collapse them to a text by using collapse-tags attribute. You can check them when mouse hover collapse text by using collapse-tags-tooltip attribute.
select/multiple
:::
You can customize HTML templates for options.
:::demo Insert customized HTML templates into the slot of el-option.
select/custom-template
:::
Display options in groups.
:::demo Use el-option-group to group the options, and its label attribute stands for the name of the group.
select/grouping
:::
You can filter options for your desired ones.
:::demo Adding filterable to el-select enables filtering. By default, Select will find all the options whose label attribute contains the input value. If you prefer other filtering strategies, you can pass the filter-method. filter-method is a Function that gets called when the input value changes, and its parameter is the current input value.
select/filterable
:::
Enter keywords and search data from server.
:::demo Set the value of filterable and remote with true to enable remote search, and you should pass the remote-method. remote-method is a Function that gets called when the input value changes, and its parameter is the current input value. Note that if el-option is rendered with the v-for directive, you should add the key attribute for el-option. Its value needs to be unique, such as item.value in the following example.
select/remote-search
:::
Create and select new items that are not included in select options
:::demo By using the allow-create attribute, users can create new items by typing in the input box. Note that for allow-create to work, filterable must be true. This example also demonstrates default-first-option. When this attribute is set to true, you can select the first option in the current option list by hitting enter without having to navigate with mouse or arrow keys.
select/allow-create

:::tip
If the binding value of Select is an object, make sure to assign value-key as its unique identity key name.
