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.

## Option filtering
2020-08-13 15:18:26 +08:00
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.

## Remote Search
2020-08-13 15:18:26 +08:00
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.

2021-09-17 11:09:38 +08:00
2020-08-13 15:18:26 +08:00
:::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.
