# Select

> A select element to choose from a list of options.

## Usage

Use the `v-model` directive to control the value of the Select or the `default-value` prop to set the initial value when you do not need to control its state.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Items

Use the `items` prop as an array of strings, numbers or booleans:

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

You can also pass an array of objects with the following properties:

- `label?: string`
- [`value?: string`](#value-key)
- [`type?: "label" | "separator" | "item"`](#with-items-type)
- [`icon?: string`](#with-icons-in-items)
- [`avatar?: AvatarProps`](#with-avatar-in-items)
- [`chip?: ChipProps`](#with-chip-in-items)
- `disabled?: boolean`
- `class?: any`
- `ui?: { label?: ClassNameValue, separator?: ClassNameValue, item?: ClassNameValue, itemLeadingIcon?: ClassNameValue, itemLeadingAvatarSize?: ClassNameValue, itemLeadingAvatar?: ClassNameValue, itemLeadingChipSize?: ClassNameValue, itemLeadingChip?: ClassNameValue, itemLabel?: ClassNameValue, itemTrailing?: ClassNameValue, itemTrailingIcon?: ClassNameValue }`

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { SelectItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref<SelectItem[]>([
  {
    label: 'Backlog',
    value: 'backlog',
  },
  {
    label: 'Todo',
    value: 'todo',
  },
  {
    label: 'In Progress',
    value: 'in_progress',
  },
  {
    label: 'Done',
    value: 'done',
  },
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="backlog" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

> [!CAUTION]
> 
> When using objects, you need to reference the `value` property of the object in the `v-model` directive or the `default-value` prop.

You can also pass an array of arrays to the `items` prop to display separated groups of items.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  [
    'Apple',
    'Banana',
    'Blueberry',
    'Grapes',
    'Pineapple',
  ],
  [
    'Aubergine',
    'Broccoli',
    'Carrot',
    'Courgette',
    'Leek',
  ],
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Apple" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Value Key

You can change the property that is used to set the value by using the `value-key` prop. Defaults to `value`.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { SelectItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref<SelectItem[]>([
  {
    label: 'Backlog',
    id: 'backlog',
  },
  {
    label: 'Todo',
    id: 'todo',
  },
  {
    label: 'In Progress',
    id: 'in_progress',
  },
  {
    label: 'Done',
    id: 'done',
  },
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="backlog" value-key="id" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Multiple

Use the `multiple` prop to allow multiple selections, the selected items will be separated by a comma in the trigger.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect multiple class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

> [!CAUTION]
> 
> Ensure to pass an array to the `default-value` prop or the `v-model` directive.

### Placeholder

Use the `placeholder` prop to set a placeholder text.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect placeholder="Select status" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Content

Use the `content` prop to control how the Select content is rendered, like its `align` or `side` for example.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> These options only apply when `content.position` is `popper` (default).

### Position `Soon`

Use the `content.position` prop to control how the Select content is positioned relative to the trigger. Defaults to `popper`, which positions the content like other popovers. Set it to `item-aligned` to align the content with the selected item (similar to a native macOS menu).

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Todo" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Arrow

Use the `arrow` prop to display an arrow on the Select.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" arrow class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Color

Use the `color` prop to change the ring color when the Select is focused.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" color="neutral" highlight class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> The `highlight` prop is used here to show the focus state. It's used internally when a validation error occurs.

### Variant

Use the `variant` prop to change the variant of the Select.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" color="neutral" variant="subtle" :highlight="false" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Size

Use the `size` prop to change the size of the Select.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" size="xl" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Icon

Use the `icon` prop to show an [Icon](/docs/components/icon) inside the Select.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" icon="i-lucide-search" size="md" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### Trailing Icon

Use the `trailing-icon` prop to customize the trailing [Icon](/docs/components/icon). Defaults to `i-lucide-chevron-down`.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Backlog" trailing-icon="i-lucide-arrow-down" size="md" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

const items = ref<undefined>([
  'Backlog',
  'Todo',
  'In Progress',
  'Done',
])
</script>

  'Done',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect disabled placeholder="Select status" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

## Examples

### With items type

You can use the `type` property with `separator` to display a separator between items or `label` to display a label.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { SelectItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref<SelectItem[]>([
  {
    type: 'label',
    label: 'Fruits',
  },
  'Apple',
  'Banana',
  'Blueberry',
  'Grapes',
  'Pineapple',
  {
    type: 'separator',
  },
  {
    type: 'label',
    label: 'Vegetables',
  },
  'Aubergine',
  'Broccoli',
  'Carrot',
  'Courgette',
  'Leek',
])
</script>

<template>
  <USelect model-value="Apple" class="w-48" :items="items" />
</template>
```

### With icon in items

You can use the `icon` property to display an [Icon](/docs/components/icon) inside the items.

```vue [SelectItemsIconExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { SelectItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref([
  {
    label: 'Backlog',
    value: 'backlog',
    icon: 'i-lucide-circle-help'
  },
  {
    label: 'Todo',
    value: 'todo',
    icon: 'i-lucide-circle-plus'
  },
  {
    label: 'In Progress',
    value: 'in_progress',
    icon: 'i-lucide-circle-arrow-up'
  },
  {
    label: 'Done',
    value: 'done',
    icon: 'i-lucide-circle-check'
  }
] satisfies SelectItem[])

const value = ref(items.value[0]?.value)

const icon = computed(() => items.value.find(item => item.value === value.value)?.icon)
</script>

<template>
  <USelect v-model="value" :items="items" value-key="value" :icon="icon" class="w-48" />
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> In this example, the icon is computed from the `value` property of the selected item.

> [!TIP]
> 
> You can also use the `#leading` slot to display the selected icon.

### With avatar in items

You can use the `avatar` property to display an [Avatar](/docs/components/avatar) inside the items.

```vue [SelectItemsAvatarExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { SelectItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref([
  {
    label: 'benjamincanac',
    value: 'benjamincanac',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://github.com/benjamincanac.png',
      alt: 'benjamincanac',
      loading: 'lazy' as const
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'romhml',
    value: 'romhml',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://github.com/romhml.png',
      alt: 'romhml',
      loading: 'lazy' as const
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'noook',
    value: 'noook',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://github.com/noook.png',
      alt: 'noook',
      loading: 'lazy' as const
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'sandros94',
    value: 'sandros94',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://github.com/sandros94.png',
      alt: 'sandros94',
      loading: 'lazy' as const
    }
  }
] satisfies SelectItem[])

const value = ref(items.value[0]?.value)

const avatar = computed(() => items.value.find(item => item.value === value.value)?.avatar)
</script>

<template>
  <USelect v-model="value" :items="items" value-key="value" :avatar="avatar" class="w-48" />
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> In this example, the avatar is computed from the `value` property of the selected item.

> [!TIP]
> 
> You can also use the `#leading` slot to display the selected avatar.

### With chip in items

You can use the `chip` property to display a [Chip](/docs/components/chip) inside the items.

```vue [SelectItemsChipExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { SelectItem, ChipProps } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref([
  {
    label: 'bug',
    value: 'bug',
    chip: {
      color: 'error'
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'feature',
    value: 'feature',
    chip: {
      color: 'success'
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'enhancement',
    value: 'enhancement',
    chip: {
      color: 'info'
    }
  }
] satisfies SelectItem[])

const value = ref(items.value[0]?.value)

function getChip(value: string) {
  return items.value.find(item => item.value === value)?.chip
}
</script>

<template>
  <USelect v-model="value" :items="items" value-key="value" class="w-48">
    <template #leading="{ modelValue, ui }">
      <UChip
        v-if="modelValue"
        v-bind="getChip(modelValue)"
        inset
        standalone
        :size="(ui.itemLeadingChipSize() as ChipProps['size'])"
        :class="ui.itemLeadingChip()"
      />
    </template>
  </USelect>
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> In this example, the `#leading` slot is used to display the selected chip.

### Control open state

You can control the open state by using the `default-open` prop or the `v-model:open` directive.

```vue [SelectOpenExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
const open = ref(false)
const items = ref(['Backlog', 'Todo', 'In Progress', 'Done'])
const value = ref('Backlog')

defineShortcuts({
  o: () => open.value = !open.value
})
</script>

<template>
  <USelect v-model="value" v-model:open="open" :items="items" class="w-48" />
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> In this example, leveraging [`defineShortcuts`](/docs/composables/define-shortcuts), you can toggle the Select by pressing <kbd value="O">
> 
> 
> 
> </kbd>
> 
> .

### With rotating icon

Here is an example with a rotating icon that indicates the open state of the Select.

```vue [SelectIconExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref(['Backlog', 'Todo', 'In Progress', 'Done'])
const value = ref('Backlog')
</script>

<template>
  <USelect
    v-model="value"
    :items="items"
    :ui="{
      trailingIcon: 'group-data-[state=open]:rotate-180 transition-transform duration-200'
    }"
    class="w-48"
  />
</template>
```

### With fetched items

You can fetch items from an API and use them in the Select.

```vue [SelectFetchExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { AvatarProps } from '@nuxt/ui'

const { data: users, status, execute } = await useLazyFetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', {
  key: 'typicode-users',
  transform: (data: { id: number, name: string }[]) => {
    return data?.map(user => ({
      label: user.name,
      value: String(user.id),
      avatar: { src: `https://i.pravatar.cc/120?img=${user.id}`, loading: 'lazy' as const }
    }))
  },
  immediate: false
})

function getUserAvatar(value: string) {
  return users.value?.find(user => user.value === value)?.avatar || {}
}

function onOpen() {
  if (!users.value?.length) {
    execute()
  }
}
</script>

<template>
  <USelect
    :items="users"
    :loading="status === 'pending'"
    icon="i-lucide-user"
    placeholder="Select user"
    value-key="value"
    class="w-48"
    @update:open="onOpen"
  >
    <template #leading="{ modelValue, ui }">
      <UAvatar
        v-if="modelValue"
        v-bind="getUserAvatar(modelValue)"
        :size="(ui.leadingAvatarSize() as AvatarProps['size'])"
        :class="ui.leadingAvatar()"
      />
    </template>
  </USelect>
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> This example uses `useLazyFetch` with `immediate: false` to only fetch data when the menu opens, avoiding unnecessary API calls on page load.

### With infinite scroll `4.4+`

You can use the [`useInfiniteScroll`](https://vueuse.org/core/useInfiniteScroll/) composable to load more data as the user scrolls.

```vue [SelectInfiniteScrollExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useInfiniteScroll } from '@vueuse/core'

type User = {
  firstName: string
}

type UserResponse = {
  users: User[]
  total: number
  skip: number
  limit: number
}

const skip = ref(0)

const { data, status, execute } = await useLazyFetch('https://dummyjson.com/users?limit=10&select=firstName', {
  key: 'select-users-infinite-scroll',
  params: { skip },
  transform: (data?: UserResponse) => {
    return data?.users.map(user => user.firstName)
  },
  immediate: false
})

const users = ref<string[]>([])

watch(data, () => {
  users.value = [
    ...users.value,
    ...(data.value || [])
  ]
})

function onOpen() {
  if (!users.value?.length) {
    execute()
  }
}

const select = useTemplateRef('select')

onMounted(() => {
  useInfiniteScroll(() => select.value?.viewportRef, () => {
    skip.value += 10
  }, {
    canLoadMore: () => {
      return status.value !== 'pending'
    }
  })
})
</script>

<template>
  <USelect
    ref="select"
    placeholder="Select user"
    :items="users"
    @update:open="onOpen"
  />
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> This example uses `useLazyFetch` with `immediate: false` so data is only loaded as the user scrolls.

### With full content width

You can expand the content to the full width of its items by adding the `min-w-fit` class on the `ui.content` slot.

```vue [SelectContentWidthExample.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
const value = ref<string>()

const { data: users, execute } = await useLazyFetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', {
  key: 'typicode-users-email',
  transform: (data: { id: number, name: string, email: string }[]) => {
    return data?.map(user => ({
      label: user.name,
      email: user.email,
      value: String(user.id),
      avatar: { src: `https://i.pravatar.cc/120?img=${user.id}`, loading: 'lazy' as const }
    }))
  },
  immediate: false
})

function onOpen() {
  if (!users.value?.length) {
    execute()
  }
}
</script>

<template>
  <USelect
    v-model="value"
    :items="users"
    placeholder="Select user"
    value-key="value"
    :ui="{ content: 'min-w-fit' }"
    class="w-48"
    @update:open="onOpen"
  >
    <template #item-label="{ item }">
      {{ item.label }}

      <span class="text-muted">
        {{ item.email }}
      </span>
    </template>
  </USelect>
</template>
```

> [!TIP]
> 
> You can also change the content width globally in your `app.config.ts`:
> 
> ```text
> export default defineAppConfig({
>   ui: {
>     select: {
>       slots: {
>         content: 'min-w-fit'
>       }
>     }
>   }
> })
> ```
