A native-like select box in vuejs

vue-picker

Mostly behaves like native <select> but accepts custom markup for the options and the opener button.

The options can be navigated from the keyboard, the opener text can be easily customized, no annoying "options as arrays" props.

## Installation In browser: ```html ```

Using npm:

npm i --save @invisiburu/vue-picker

Import in your project:

import { VuePicker, VuePickerOption } from '@invisiburu/vue-picker'
// optional css
import '@invisiburu/vue-picker/dist/vue-picker.min.css'


Vue.component('VuePicker', VuePicker)
Vue.component('VuePickerOption', VuePickerOption)

Usage

Basic:

<vue-picker v-model="color" autofocus>
  <vue-picker-option value="">Empty</vue-picker-option>
  <vue-picker-option value="red">Red</vue-picker-option>
  <vue-picker-option value="green">Green</vue-picker-option>
  <vue-picker-option value="blue">Blue</vue-picker-option>
  <vue-picker-option value="yellow" disabled>Yellow</vue-picker-option>
  <vue-picker-option value="teal" text="Teal">
    How about teal (Teal will be shown instead)
  </vue-picker-option>
</vue-picker>

      </div>
    </vue-picker-option>
  </vue-picker>
</template>

Api

VuePicker

Props:

• autofocus - focus the opener on mount.
• disabled - disable the component.
• value - the value, should be a string. The behaviour is not defined for
  values that do not exist within provided options.
• placeholder - a text to show when value is null, undefined or an
  empty string.

Emitted events:

• input - an option selected. Carries the new value to assign.
• open - dropdown open.
• close - dropdown closed. Carries true if closed by the outer click.

Slots:

• default - a picker option. Should be a <VuePickerOption>.
• opener - override the displayed opener text.
  Provides the opener scope var with { value, text, opt }, where:
  • value - the selected value.
  • text - the text that was intended to display by the opener
    (HTML stripped). Content of the placeholder attribute prevails over
    empty option values.
  • opt - context of the current option.
• openerIco - override the default expand arrow
• dropdownInner - use if you want a custom dropdown inner container

VuePickerOption

Props:

• disabled - disable the option. Disabled options cannot be picked or
  navigated.
• value - value to set on when the option selected.
• text - text to be displayed instead of the content of the default slot.
  Also overrides the optHtml and optTxt computed properties of the
  component.

Slots:

• default - content to be displayed in the options list and in the opener
  when the option is selected. Can contain any markup, the opener will
  display it as is. Please consider using the text prop if you plan complex
  things in here.

Computed

You can use these computed properties within the opt param of the opener
slot.

• optHtml - returns the HTML from the default slot of the component.
• optTxt - returns the HTML from the default slot of the component.
  Mostly the same as text param of the opener slot but does not respect
  placeholder attr of the picker.
