Code Samples

Label

When using the innerLabel option (default), the placeholder prop should be used as the Dropdown label.

<dropdown
  v-model="myValue"
  placeholder="My Label"
/>

If a label is also provided, then the label will be displayed once the user clicks on the field.

<dropdown
  v-model="myValue"
  placeholder="My Label"
  label="My alternative label"
/>

When NOT using the innerLabel option (default), the placeholder and label props will function independently and both should be provided.

<dropdown
  v-model="myValue"
  placeholder="My placeholder"
  label="My Label"
  :inner-label="false"
/>

Description

Use the desc prop or slot to provide extra information about the Dropdown.

<dropdown desc="Extra information about this field" />

Use the slot when the description contains html that needs to be rendered. For instance, when adding a link to the description.

<dropdown>
  <template slot="desc">
    Extra information about this field. <a href="#">Learn more</a>.
  </template>
</dropdown>

With icon

The icon prop expects font-awesome icon classes.

<dropdown icon="fa fa-user-circle" />

Use icons sparingly (eg. Indicating that the input has a different function).

Options

Options can be provided as an Array when the Dropdown label and value are the same.

<dropdown
  v-model="myValues"
  label="My Label"
  :options="options"
/>

options: ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"];

And options can be provided as an Object when the Dropdown label and value are NOT the same.

options: {
  'option-1': 'Option 1',
  'option-2': 'Option 2',
  'option-3': 'Option 3',
}

An Array of Objects can also be used, in which case the text-key and value-key props need to be provided to indicate the text to be displayed and value to be captured.

<dropdown
  v-model="myValues"
  label="My Label"
  text-key="key1"
  value-key="key2"
/>

options: [
  {
    key1: "My text 1",
    key2: "my-value-1",
  },
  {
    key1: "My text 2",
    key2: "my-value-2",
  },
];

With optgroup

Version 2.0.5 and up.

<dropdown :optgroup="true" />

When optgroup is true, wrap the options in an object where the object key is the group name.

options: {
  "Group 1": [
    "Group 1 - Option 1",
    "Group 1 - Option 2",
    "Group 1 - Option 3",
  ],
  "Group 2": [
    "Group 2 - Option 1",
    "Group 2 - Option 2",
    "Group 2 - Option 3",
  ],
},

Displaying errors

To display an error provide a String with the error, or an Array of errors. Only the first error in the array is displayed.

<dropdown errors="This field is required" />

This component supports VeeValidate errors. Learn how to validate with the VeeValidade plugin.
