Vue v-model with select input

Question

I'm trying to have any option within my select input to be set as a value in an object. I'm trying to use v-model for this purpose but I'm not exactly sure how. Below is what I've tried to do so far.

<div class="select-wrapper">
  <select required name="category" id="category" @change="(e) => $emit('input', e.target.value)">
      <option value="" selected="selected">Category*</option>
      <option value="attendee">Attendee</option>
      <option value="distributor">Distributor</option>
      <option value="sponsor">Sponsor</option>
      <option value="media/analyst">Media/Analyst</option>
      <option value="university">University</option>
      <option value="other">Other</option>
  </select>
 </div>

Answer 1

Need a prop to bind the selected value and pass that prop to v-model. E.g.

<template>
  <div>
    <pre>category = {{ category }}</pre>
    <select required name="category" id="category" v-model="category">
      <option value="">Category*</option>
      <option value="attendee">Attendee</option>
      <option value="distributor">Distributor</option>
      <option value="sponsor">Sponsor</option>
      <option value="media/analyst">Media/Analyst</option>
      <option value="university">University</option>
      <option value="nxp">NXP</option>
    </select>
  </div>
</template>

<script>

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      category: null
    };
  }
};
</script>
