Select

Form component used for selecting a value from a large list of options, with autocomplete and pagination support

Basic Example

The most basic use case for a select component is to have all the select options predefined using the options property. This component allows you to easily choose from a set of values and display a computed option label of your choice.

Here are some considerations to be made:

  • Each option must be an Object {}
  • Each option must have a unique identifier field, such as id
  • The selected value will be the option itself

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
/>

Disabled State

Setting the disabled property will disable all interactions with the select component.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    disabled
/>

You can also disable individual options by setting the option’s disabled field to true.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
/>

Readonly State

Setting the readonly property will disable all interactions with the select component, except being able to focus the select.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    readonly
/>

Clearable Variant

If you need to be able to quickly clear the value of an select, you can add the clearable property to the select component.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    clearable
/>

Prefix and Suffix

Inkline allows you to easily add a prefix or suffix to your select. Using prefixes and suffixes you can, for example, indicate your select type using an icon or text.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    label="name"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #prefix>
        <span>@</span>
    </template>
</i-select>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    label="name"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #suffix>
        <span>@</span>
    </template>
</i-select>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    label="name"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #prefix>
        <span>@</span>
    </template>
    <template #suffix>
        <span>@</span>
    </template>
</i-select>

Prepend and Append

You can add additional content such as select fields, buttons or plain text, to either side of the select by using the prepend and append slots.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    label="name"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #prepend>
        <span>I choose</span>
    </template>
</i-select>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    label="name"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #append>
        <span>as an example</span>
    </template>
</i-select>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    label="name"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #prepend>
        <span>I choose</span>
    </template>
    <template #append>
        <span>as an example</span>
    </template>
</i-select>



<i-input v-model="value" placeholder="Type something..">
    <template #prepend>
        <i-button>Button</i-button>
    </template>
</i-input>

<i-input v-model="value" placeholder="Type something..">
    <template #append>
        <i-button>Button</i-button>
    </template>
</i-input>

<i-input v-model="value" placeholder="Type something..">
    <template #prepend>
        <i-button>Button</i-button>
    </template>
    <template #append>
        <i-button>Button</i-button>
    </template>
</i-input>

Colors

You can use the color property to set a light or dark color for your select.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    color="light"
/>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    color="dark"
/>

Sizes

You’re able to use the size modifier to control the size of your select, using one of the available sizes: sm, md, and lg. The default size is set to md.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    size="sm"
/>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    size="md"
/>

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
    size="lg"
/>

You can provide a custom header and footer for the select menu using the header and footer slots.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <template #header>
        Header
    </template>
    <template #footer>
        Footer
    </template>
</i-select>

Markup Example

The old way to write the select input is still viable, although it doesn’t support the more advanced features that the Inkline 3 Select has to offer.

<i-select
    v-model="selected"
    placeholder="Choose something.."
>
    <i-select-option value="1" label="Richard Hendricks" />
    <i-select-option value="2" label="Bertram Gilfoyle" />
    <i-select-option value="3" label="Dinesh Chugtai" />
    <i-select-option value="4" label="Jared Dunn" />
    <i-select-option value="5" label="Erlich Bachman" disabled />
</i-select>
