# <ElBadge value="beta">Select V2 virtualized selector</ElBadge>

:::tip

This component is still under testing, if you found any bug or issue please report it at [Github](https://github.com/element-plus/element-plus/issues) for us to fix.

:::

## Background

Now days, with tons of data came from the backend server through the internet, one single selector could have ended up loading tens of thousands of data from the backend, but rendering
that much data into the DOM could be a burden to the browser which could crash the browser. For better user experience and developer experience, we decided to add this component.

## Basic usage

The simplest selector

:::demo

select-v2/basic-usage

:::

## Multi select

The basic multi-select selector with tags

:::demo

select-v2/multiple

:::

## Hide extra tags when the selected items are too many.

:::demo

select-v2/hide-extra-tags

:::

## Filterable multi-select

When the options are overwhelmingly too many, you can use `filterable` option to enable filter feature for finding out the desired option

:::demo

select-v2/filterable

:::

## Disabled selector and select options

You can choose to disable selector itself or the option.

:::demo

select-v2/disabled

:::

## Option Grouping

We can group option as we wanted, as long as the data satisfies the pattern.

:::demo

select-v2/grouping

:::

## Customized option renderer

We can define our own template for rendering the option in the popup.

:::demo

select-v2/customized-option

:::

## Clearable selector

We can clear all the selected options at once, also applicable for single select.

:::demo

select-v2/clearable

:::

## Create Option

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`.

select-v2/allow-create

:::

## Remote search

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.
