Basic usage

:::demo v-model is the value of el-option that is currently selected.

<template>
  <el-select v-model="value" placeholder="Select">
    <el-option
      v-for="item in options"
      :label="item.label"
      :value="item.value">
    </el-option>
  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        options: [{
          value: 'Option1',
          label: 'Option1'
        }, {
          value: 'Option2',
          label: 'Option2'
        }, {
          value: 'Option3',
          label: 'Option3'
        }, {
          value: 'Option4',
          label: 'Option4'
        }, {
          value: 'Option5',

        }],
        value: ''
      }
    }
  }
</script>

        }],
        value2: ''
      }
    }
  }
</script>

</script>

:::

Clearable single select

You can clear Select using a clear icon.

:::demo Set clearable attribute for el-select and a clear icon will appear. Note that clearable is only for single select.

<template>
  <el-select v-model="value4" clearable placeholder="Select">
    <el-option
      v-for="item in options"
      :label="item.label"

        }],
        value4: ''
      }
    }
  }
</script>

:::

Basic multiple select

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.

<template>
  <el-select v-model="value5" multiple placeholder="Select">
    <el-option
      v-for="item in options"
      :label="item.label"
      :value="item.value">
    </el-option>
  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        options: [{
          value: 'Option1',
          label: 'Option1'
        }, {
          value: 'Option2',
          label: 'Option2'
        }, {
          value: 'Option3',
          label: 'Option3'
        }, {
          value: 'Option4',
          label: 'Option4'
        }, {
          value: 'Option5',
          label: 'Option5'
        }],
        value5: []
      }
    }
  }
</script>

:::

Custom template

You can customize HTML templates for options.

:::demo Insert customized HTML templates into the slot of el-option.

<template>
  <el-select v-model="value6" placeholder="Select">
    <el-option
      v-for="item in cities"
      :label="item.label"
      :value="item.value">
      <span style="float: left">{{ item.label }}</span>
      <span style="float: right; color: #8492a6; font-size: 13px">{{ item.value }}</span>
    </el-option>
  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        cities: [{
          value: 'Beijing',
          label: 'Beijing'
        }, {
          value: 'Shanghai',
          label: 'Shanghai'
        }, {
          value: 'Nanjing',
          label: 'Nanjing'
        }, {
          value: 'Chengdu',
          label: 'Chengdu'
        }, {
          value: 'Shenzhen',
          label: 'Shenzhen'
        }, {
          value: 'Guangzhou',
          label: 'Guangzhou'
        }],
        value6: ''
      }
    }
  }
</script>

:::

Grouping

Display options in groups.

:::demo Use el-option-group to group the options, and its label attribute stands for the name of the group.

<template>
  <el-select v-model="value7" placeholder="Select">
    <el-option-group
      v-for="group in options3"
      :label="group.label">
      <el-option
        v-for="item in group.options"
        :label="item.label"
        :value="item.value">
      </el-option>
    </el-option-group>
  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        options3: [{
          label: 'Popular cities',
          options: [{
            value: 'Shanghai',
            label: 'Shanghai'
          }, {
            value: 'Beijing',
            label: 'Beijing'
          }]
        }, {
          label: 'City name',
          options: [{
            value: 'Chengdu',
            label: 'Chengdu'
          }, {
            value: 'Shenzhen',
            label: 'Shenzhen'
          }, {
            value: 'Guangzhou',
            label: 'Guangzhou'
          }, {
            value: 'Dalian',
            label: 'Dalian'
          }]
        }],
        value7: ''
      }
    }
  }
</script>

:::

Option filtering

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 changed, and its parameter is the current input value.

<template>
  <el-select v-model="value8" filterable placeholder="Select">
    <el-option
      v-for="item in options"
      :label="item.label"
      :value="item.value">
    </el-option>
  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        options: [{
          value: 'Option1',
          label: 'Option1'
        }, {
          value: 'Option2',
          label: 'Option2'
        }, {
          value: 'Option3',
          label: 'Option3'
        }, {
          value: 'Option4',
          label: 'Option4'
        }, {
          value: 'Option5',
          label: 'Option5'
        }],
        value8: ''
      }
    }
  }
</script>

:::

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.

<template>
  <el-select
    v-model="value9"
    multiple
    filterable
    remote
    placeholder="Please enter a keyword"
    :remote-method="remoteMethod"
    :loading="loading">
    <el-option
      v-for="item in options4"
      :key="item.value"
      :label="item.label"
      :value="item.value">
    </el-option>
  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        options4: [],
        value9: [],
        list: [],
        loading: false,
        states: ["Alabama", "Alaska", "Arizona",
        "Arkansas", "California", "Colorado",
        "Connecticut", "Delaware", "Florida",
        "Georgia", "Hawaii", "Idaho", "Illinois",
        "Indiana", "Iowa", "Kansas", "Kentucky",
        "Louisiana", "Maine", "Maryland",
        "Massachusetts", "Michigan", "Minnesota",
        "Mississippi", "Missouri", "Montana",
        "Nebraska", "Nevada", "New Hampshire",
        "New Jersey", "New Mexico", "New York",
        "North Carolina", "North Dakota", "Ohio",
        "Oklahoma", "Oregon", "Pennsylvania",
        "Rhode Island", "South Carolina",
        "South Dakota", "Tennessee", "Texas",
        "Utah", "Vermont", "Virginia",
        "Washington", "West Virginia", "Wisconsin",
        "Wyoming"]
      }
    },
    mounted() {
      this.list = this.states.map(item => {
        return { value: item, label: item };
      });
    },
    methods: {
      remoteMethod(query) {
        if (query !== '') {
          this.loading = true;
          setTimeout(() => {
            this.loading = false;
            this.options4 = this.list.filter(item => {
              return item.label.toLowerCase()
                .indexOf(query.toLowerCase()) > -1;
            });
          }, 200);
        } else {
          this.options4 = [];
        }
      }
    }
  }
</script>

Create new items

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.

<template>
  <el-select
    v-model="value10"
    multiple
    filterable
    allow-create
    placeholder="Choose tags for your article">
    <el-option

  </el-select>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        options5: [{
          value: 'HTML',
          label: 'HTML'
        }, {
          value: 'CSS',
          label: 'CSS'
        }, {
          value: 'JavaScript',
          label: 'JavaScript'
