# <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

In some use-cases, a single selector may end up loading tens of thousands of rows of data.
Rendering that much data into the DOM could be a burden to the browser, which can result in performance issues.
For a better user 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.

You can collapse tags to a text by using `collapse-tags` attribute. You can check them when mouse hover collapse text by using `collapse-tags-tooltip` attribute.

:::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

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`.

:::tip

It will be better to set `:reserve-keyword="false"` when use `allow-create`

:::

:::demo

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.
