Vueform

Advanced Props

Name {Type} Default Description
allowAbsent {boolean} false Whether values should be allowed which are not part of options even when using object: false. The selected values which are not part of the option list will have the same value and label. This can be useful if you're using an async option list with an array of string options as a result where both labels and values will be the same and you want to have default values which are not part of the initially resolved options. Example #13
canDeselect {boolean} true Whether a selected option can be deselected when using single mode.
canClear {boolean} true Whether option(s) can be cleared.
clearOnSearch {boolean} false Whether the option list should be cleared when a new character is typed before loading new options list, when using async options.
clearOnSelect {boolean} true Whether the option list should be cleared upon selecting an option when using async options.
closeOnSelect {boolean} true Whether the option list should be closed upon selecting an option.
closeOnDeselect {boolean} true Whether the option list should be closed upon deselecting an option.
clearOnBlur {boolean} true Whether the search should be cleared when the input is blurred when searchable: true.
delay {number} -1 The delay in milliseconds that should occur between the last typed character and refreshing an async option list. If -1 the option list will not refresh when the search query changes. If 0 it will refresh without delay.
filterResults {boolean} true Whether option list should be filtered by search query. This may be set to false if you are handling filtering manually when returning async options.
minChars {number} 0 The minimum number of characters that should be typed to refresh async option list. If 0 it will refresh even when the search field becomes empty.
resolveOnLoad {boolean} true Whether async options should be loaded initially (with an empty query). This should be true if you are planning to load non-object value(s) initially while using async options (to fetch matching objects for values).
breakTags {boolean} false Whether long tags should be broken into multiple lines (otherwise truncated at max width).
appendNewTag {boolean} true Deprecated 2.3.0: use appendNewOption instead.
Whether it should append new tag automatically to option list when using tags mode with createTag. If set to false you need to take care of appending a new tag to the provided :options list upon @tag event.
createTag {boolean} false Deprecated 2.3.0: use createOption instead.
Whether it should allow creating new tags based on search query when using tags mode.
addTagOn {array} ['enter'] Deprecated 2.3.0: use addOptionOn instead.
The list of keys that creates a new tag while typing in the search field when having createTag enabled. Possible values: 'enter'\|'space'\|'tab'\|';'\|','.
appendNewOption {boolean} true Whether it should append new option automatically to option list when searchable and createTag are enabled. If set to false you need to take care of appending a new option to the provided :options list upon @option event.
createOption {boolean} false Whether it should allow creating new options based on search query when searchable is enabled.
addOptionOn {array} ['enter'] The list of keys that creates a new option while typing in the search field when having createOption enabled. Possible values: 'enter'\|'space'\|'tab'\|';'\|','.
onCreate function(option, select$) Transforms the created tag before being added when createOption is enabled. It receives the original option as first param, which is the object that would be added to the option list ({value: 'Value', label: 'Label'}) and the Multiselect component as the second. It should return an object that contains at least the keys defined by valueProp, label & trackBy options. If defined and returns false the option will not be added (the add can be handled manually by updating options & v-model).
hideSelected {boolean} true Whether selected options should be excluded from the option list when using multiple or tags mode.
showOptions {boolean} true Whether option list should be displayed. Can be used to create free-typed tags.
object {boolean} false Whether the value should be stored as an object.
If false:
value: ['js','jsx','ts']
If true:
value: [
  {value:'js',label:'Javascript'},
  {value:'jsx',label:'JSX'},
  {value:'ts',label:'Typescript'}
]
attrs {object} {} HTML attributes to add to the input field when search is enabled.
nativeSupport {boolean} false Whether hidden input fields should be appended to achieve native data handling.

Then you need to import themes/tailwind.css to you main component:

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <Multiselect ... />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  // ...
</script>

<style>
  @import '@vueform/multiselect/themes/tailwind.css';
  /* or */
  /* @import './path/to/node_modules/@vueform/multiselect/themes/tailwind.css'; */
</style>

Using :classes prop

Alternatively you can define class names directly by passing them to the Multiselect component via classes property. When using this approach you don't need to import tailwind.css. Here's a default styling for Tailwind CSS (the same included in tailwind.css):

<Multiselect ... :classes="{
  container: 'relative mx-auto w-full flex items-center justify-end box-border cursor-pointer border border-gray-300 rounded bg-white text-base leading-snug outline-none',

  assist: 'absolute -m-px w-px h-px overflow-hidden',
  spacer: 'h-9 py-px box-content'
}" />

Certain classes has different states which are merged to the base class when the state is active. For example dropdown will be merged with dropdownTop when open-direction: 'top' resulting in the following classes: absolute -left-px -right-px bottom-0 transform translate-y-full border border-gray-300 -mt-px overflow-y-scroll z-50 bg-white flex flex-col rounded-b -translate-y-full top-px bottom-auto rounded-b-none rounded-t

The same is true for container, tag, options, groupLabel and option classes.

In case you need to override the same type of utility you might use @neojp/tailwind-important-variant for eg. bg-green-500!.

Async options with default values

When using resolveOnLoad: false we can add default values with object: true and providing options as objects, containing both label and value props. This is because option list is not resolved when the component is mounted so Multiselect has no idea of what option labels should be if only plain values were provided.

<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Select options"
    :close-on-select="false"
    :searchable="true"
    :object="true"
    :resolve-on-load="false"
    :delay="0"
    :min-chars="1"
    :options="async (query) => {
      return await fetchLanguages(query)
    }"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [
      { value: 'Java', label: 'Java' },
      { value: 'JavaScript', label: 'JavaScript' },
    ]
  })
}
</script>

JSFiddle - Example #11

Default values that are not among the options using object: true

If we want to add default values without having to add them to options list we can use object: true and provide them as objects, containing both label and value props. This is because if a plain value is not among Multiselect options it has no idea of what option label should be.

<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Select options"
    :close-on-select="false"
    :searchable="true"
    :object="true"
    :resolve-on-load="false"
    :delay="0"
    :min-chars="1"
    :options="async (query) => {
      return await fetchLanguages(query)
    }"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [
      { value: 'Java', label: 'Java' },
      { value: 'JavaScript', label: 'JavaScript' },
    ]
  })
}
</script>

JSFiddle - Example #12

Default values that are not among the options using allowAbsent: true

If our async option list returns an array of strings we can use allowAbsent: true to allow value(s) which are not among the option list. The reason why this only works with an array of strings option list is because plain values like Java and JavaScript will use the same string for label and value.

<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Select options"
    :allow-absent="true"
    :close-on-select="false"
    :searchable="true"
    :resolve-on-load="false"
    :delay="0"
    :min-chars="1"
    :options="async (query) => {
      return await fetchLanguages(query)
    }"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [
      'Java',
      'JavaScript',
    ]
  })
}
</script>

JSFiddle - Example #13

Manage created tag asynchronously

Search is restricted by regex and tag creation is controlled by onCreate(option, select$).

<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Accepts numbers <= 67 (delay: 1000ms)"
    :options="[]"
    :create-option="true"
    :searchable="true"
    :regex="/\d/"
    :on-create="handleTagCreate"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    handleTagCreate: async (option, select$) => {
      // Do not allow create tags above 67
      if (parseInt(option.value) > 67) {
        alert(`${option.value} is not allowed. Option must by <= 67.`)

        // If returns `false` the tag will not be added
        return false
      }

      // Async request (eg. for validating)
      await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          resolve()
        }, 1000)
      })

      // Modifying option label
      option.label = option.label + ' - confirmed'

      return option
    }
  }
}
</script>

Load async options from API on open with infinite scroll

Options are not loaded initially, only when the users clicks the dropdown the first time. It also virtualizes the option list with infinite: true even large list of options can be loaded.
