Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
appendNewTag	boolean	true	Whether should append new tag automatically to multiselect's options when using tags mode with createTag. If set to false you need to take care of appending a new tag to the :options list upon @tag event.
caret	boolean	true	Whether should display a caret (small triangle on the right).
clearOnSearch	boolean	false	Whether the option list should be cleared upon a new typed character when using async options.
clearOnSelect	boolean	true	Whether the option list should be cleared upon selecting an option when using async options.
createTag	boolean	false	Whether should allow creating new tag based on search query when using tags mode.
delay	number	-1	The delay 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. The number refers to milliseconds.
disabled	boolean	false	Whether the input should be disabled.
filterResults	boolean	true	Whether option list should be filtered by search query. This may be set to false if you are handling filtering when returning async options.
hideSelectedTag	boolean	true	Whether selected tags should be excluded from the list when using tags mode.
id	string	'multiselect'	The id of the multiselect container DOM.
label	string	'label'	If you provide an array of objects as options this property of those objects will be displayed for options and selected label.
limit	number	-1	The maximum number of options that should be displayed. If -1 it won't be limited.
loading	boolean	false	Whether a loading spinner should be shown.
maxHeight	number	160	The maximum height of options list.
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.
mode	string	single	Possible values: single|multiple|tags.
modelValue	string|number|array	null	The variable that should store the select value when using Vue 3. If v-model is used it does not need to be set.
multipleLabel	function		A function that should return how the label should be displayed when using multiple mode. It receives value as an argument. By default it renders 1 option selected and [n] options selected based on value length.
noOptionsText	string	'The list is empty'	The text that should be displayed when options list is empty.
noResultsText	string	No results found	The text that should be when there are no search results.
object	boolean	false	Whether the value should be stored as an object. If set to false while using an array of objects as :options the value property will be used as value. If set to true without using an array of objects as :options an object that contains value property along with :trackBy's and :label's value will be set as value.
options	array|object|function	[]	List of options. Can be: - an array (eg. [1,2,3]) - an object (eg. {a:1,b:2,c:3}) - an array of objects [{value:1,label:'v1'},{value:2,label:'v2'},{value:3,label:'v3'}] - a sync or async function with query input param that returns options as an object or as an array of objects. When an array of objects is provided it must have a value property as well as properties that equal to :trackBy's and :label's value (both configurable and default to label).
placeholder	string	null	The text that should be displayed before an options are selected.
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 initially while using async options.
searchable	boolean	false	Whether the options should be searchable.
trackBy	string	label	The name of the property that should be searched when searchable is true and an array of objects are provided as :options.
value	string|number|array	null	The variable that should store the select value when using Vue 2. If v-model is used it does not need to be set.
