Component Properties

options

The array of options of the selection control. It could be

• an array of strings, e.g., ['opt1', 'opt2']; or
• an array of objects specifying the text and value of each option, e.g., [{text: 'name1', value: 'val1'}, {text: 'name2', value: 'val2'}]; or
• an array of objects specifying the option group, e.g.

  [{
    label: 'group1',
    options: [{text: 'name1', value: 'val1'}, {text: 'name2', value: 'val2'}]
  }, {
    label: 'group2',
    options: [{text: 'name3', value: 'val3'}, {text: 'name4', value: 'val4'}]
  }]

model

The model bind to the control, which must be a two way binding variable.

Note that the value of model could be set to null, and in that case the selection will be set to nothing. Also, if the selection is set to nothing (that is, the user delete the text in the input box of the selector), the value of the model will be set to null instead of an empty string.

searchable

The optional flag indicates whether to show the search box.

language

The optional code of language used by the select2 plugin.

The supported languages are exactly the same as the supported languages of the select2 plugin. In order to use the supported language, you must also include the corresponding "i18n" js file of the select2 plugin in your HTML file.

Note that the language code passed to this property could be a locale code consists of a language code and a country code, e.g., "en-US". The component will automatically convert the locale code to the language code supported by the select2 plugin. Since some languages have different variants in different country or region, e.g., "zh-CN" for the simplified Chinese and "zh-TW" for the traditional Chinese, it's recommended to use the locale code in the form of "[language]-[country]".

If this property is not set, and the vue-i18n plugin is used, the component will use the language code $language provided by the vue-i18n plugin; otherwise, the component will use the default value "en-US".

theme

The optional name of the theme of the select2 plugin. Default value is 'bootstrap'.

Note that in order to use the bootstrap theme, you must include the CSS file from the select2-bootstrap-theme project. And it's very important that the above CSS file must be included AFTER the CSS file of the bootstrap.

The following is the correct order for including CSS files:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://cdn.bootcss.com/select2/4.0.0/css/select2.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://cdn.bootcss.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://select2.github.io/select2-bootstrap-theme/css/select2-bootstrap.css">

Check the demo page for details.

name

The optional name of the selection control.

API

control

This property is a reference to the JQuery selection of the base select control. It could be used to call the APIs of select2 plugin. For example, select.control.val(val) will set the value of the select to the specified value, where select is the reference to the vue-select component.
