Selectic

VueJS 3.X + Typescript + JSX + Select

Introduction

A customizable component allowing you to list and select items which embeds the most common features like searching, remote data sets, infinite scrolling, reverse selection, and many other possibilities.

It integrates well with VueJS and is reactive to option changes.

Typescript types are provided.

There are very few dependencies and code stays very small (~90kB).

Example

<Selectic
    :options="['first choice', 'second choice', 'third choice']"
    v-model="selection"
/>

<Selectic
    multiple
    value="item2"
    :options="[{
        id: 'item1',
        text: 'The first item',
        icon: 'fa fa-thumbs-o-up',
    }, {
        id: 'item2',
        text: 'Another item',
        title: 'second choice',
    }, {
        id: 'item3',
        text: 'Disabled item',
        disabled: true,
    }]"

    @input="onChange"
/>

<Selectic
    :options="[{
        id: 'animals',
        text: 'Animals',
        options: [{
            id: 'cat',
            text: 'Cat',
        }, {
            id: 'dog',
            text: 'A dog',
        }, {
            id: 42,
            text: '42 goldfishes',
        }],
    }]"
/>

Full documentation

Features

• List of items (either string array or object array).
• Can load dynamically list from a server and the list can be paginate (with a cache system to avoid reloading previous requests).
• ~~Slots: options may be added from Vue template (by writing explicit <option> or <optgroup>) in a reactive way~~ (currently disabled in 3.0.0+).
• Multi-sources: Possibility to combine options from different sources (static, dynamic or slots) or to use the other as fallback (if the list is empty).
• Supports basic Select properties like multiple, disabled, title
• Supports group element (equivalent of optGroup), even for dynamic list.
• Supports placeholder to display a default text when there is no selection.
• Keyboard shortcuts works.
• Possibility to search for any string in options.
• Scroll bar always indicates the size of the list (even for dynamic list), next pages to fetch are already computed the size of the list.
• Performance optimization for list containing large number of items.
• Emits input, change, open, and close events.
• Supports a reverse selection system (for very long list where only some elements are not selected).
• All displayed text can be changed (for example, to translate them in another language).
• Options to auto-disable the component when there is no options or only one mandatory option.
• Handle selection overflow either by displaying a tag "+x more" either by adding several lines and show all selected options.
• Possibility to open the component programmatically.
• CSS styles can be easily changed to fit your theme.
• Strong typing: all Typescript types are provided.

Migration information

From 3.0 to 3.1

Selectic no more depends on Font-awesome. It embeds its own icons (from Material Design Icons).

It is still possible to use Font-awesome icons (or from any other libraries).

Read the documentation section related to changing icons for more information on how to handle them.
