✨ Features

Demo

💿 Installation

📦 Via NPM

$ npm install vue-accessible-select --save

🧶 Via Yarn

$ yarn add vue-accessible-select

Initialization

As a plugin

It must be called before new Vue().

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueAccessibleSelect from 'vue-accessible-select'

Vue.use(VueAccessibleSelect)

As a global component

import Vue from 'vue'
import { VueAccessibleSelect } from 'vue-accessible-select'

Vue.component('VueAccessibleSelect', VueAccessibleSelect)

As a local component

import { VueAccessibleSelect } from 'vue-accessible-select'

export default {
  name: 'YourAwesomeComponent',
  components: {
    VueAccessibleSelect,
  },
}

ℹ️ Note to set global options (for example transition for each select component), you should do the following:

import { config } from 'vue-accessible-select'

config.transition = {
  name: 'foo',
}

⚠️ Options passed locally via props will always take precedence over global config options.

Default config.js:

export default {
  transition: null,
}

🚀 Usage

Template

<template>
  <vue-accessible-select
    v-model="value"
    :options="options"
    :transition="{ name: 'foo' }"
    label="foo"
    placeholder="bar"
    disabled
  ></vue-accessible-select>
</template>

Script

export default {
  // ...
  data() {
    return {
      value: undefined,
      options: [
        {
          value: 0,
          label: '🍇 Grape',
        },
        {
          value: { foo: 'bar' },
          label: '🍉 Watermelon',
        },
        {
          value: { foo: 'bar' },
          label: '🥝 Kiwi',
        },
        {
          value: false,
          label: '🥭 Mango',
        },
        {
          value: true,
          label: '🍓 Strawberry',
        },
        {
          value: 'lemon',
          label: '🍋 Lemon',
        },
      ],
    }
  },
  // ...
}

🎨 Styles

Then don't forget to include core styles. Also library is sipped with default theme styles you can use.

SASS:

// recommended
@import 'vue-accessible-select/src/styles/core.scss';

// optional
@import 'vue-accessible-select/src/styles/themes/default.scss';

Or already compiled CSS:

/* recommended */
@import 'vue-accessible-select/dist/styles/core.scss';

/* optional */
@import 'vue-accessible-select/dist/styles/themes/default.scss';

⚠️ Note that when you import already compiled CSS you don't have ability to override SASS variables during build process, so it is preferable to use .scss file.

When importing core.scss, there are SASS variables you can override during build process:

$v-select-menu-position-top: 100% !default;
$v-select-arrow-size: 8px !default;
