<VueMultiselect
  :model-value="value"
  :options="source"
  :searchable="false"
  :close-on-select="false"
  :allow-empty="false"
  @update:model-value="updateSelected"
  label="name"
  placeholder="Select one"
  track-by="name"
/>
```

### Single select with search
```vue
<VueMultiselect
  v-model="value"
  :options="source"
  :close-on-select="true"
  :clear-on-select="false"
  placeholder="Select one"
  label="name"
  track-by="name"
/>
```

### Multiple select with search
```vue
<VueMultiselect
  v-model="multiValue"
  :options="source"
  :multiple="true"
  :close-on-select="true"
  placeholder="Pick some"
  label="name"
  track-by="name"
/>
```

### Tagging
with `@tag` event
```vue
<VueMultiselect
  v-model="taggingSelected"
  :options="taggingOptions"
  :multiple="true"
  :taggable="true"
  @tag="addTag"
  tag-placeholder="Add this as new tag"
  placeholder="Type to search or add tag"
  label="name"
  track-by="code"
/>
```

``` javascript

addTag (newTag) {
  const tag = {
    name: newTag,
    code: newTag.substring(0, 2) + Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000000))
  }
  this.taggingOptions.push(tag)
  this.taggingSelected.push(tag)
},
```

### Asynchronous dropdown
```vue
<VueMultiselect
  v-model="selectedCountries"
  :options="countries"
  :multiple="multiple"
  :searchable="searchable"
  @search-change="asyncFind"
  placeholder="Type to search"
  label="name"
  track-by="code"
>
  <template #noResult>
    Oops! No elements found. Consider changing the search query.

    this.countries = findService(query)
  }
}
```

## Special Thanks

Thanks to Matt Elen for contributing this version!

> A Vue 3 upgrade of [@shentao's](https://github.com/shentao) [vue-mulitselect](https://github.com/shentao/vue-multiselect) component. The idea is that when you upgrade to Vue 3, you can swap the two components out, and everything should simply work. Feel free to check out our story of how we upgraded our product to Vue 3 on our blog at  [suade.org](https://suade.org/a-products-vue-3-migration-a-real-life-story/)
