I want to create a custom select component in Vue.js. Since I need specific options styling, I need to create 'select' made of div's etc that looks and acts like a real html select.
Currently I have something like this:
Vue.component('child', {
template: `<div class="component-container" @click="showOptions = !showOptions">
<div class="component__select">
<span class="component__select--name">Select Fruit</span>
<span class="c-arrow-down" v-if="!showOptions"></span>
<span class="c-arrow-up" v-if="showOptions"></span>
</div>
<ul class="component__select-options" v-if="showOptions" >
<li class="select--option" v-for="option in options">
<label> <input type="checkbox" :value="option"/> {{option.name}}</label>
</li>
</ul>
</div>`,
methods: {
selectOption(option) {
this.$emit('option', option)
}
},
data: () => ({
showOptions: false,
}),
props: ['options']
});
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: () => ({
options: [
{id: 0, name: 'Apple'},
{id: 1, name: 'Banana'},
{id: 2, name: 'Orange'},
{id: 2, name: 'Strawberry'},
],
selectedFruit: ''
}),
})
.component__select {
height: 38px;
background-color: #F5F7FA;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
line-height: 38px;
display: grid;
max-width: 500px;
grid-template-columns: 10fr 1fr;
}
.component__select--name {
font-size: 0.8rem;
padding: 0 0 0 25px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.c-arrow-down {
justify-self: end;
}
.component__select-options {
max-height: 180px;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
border-top: none;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1500;
max-width: 500px;
width: 500px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.select--option {
height: 35px;
display: grid;
align-content: center;
padding: 0 0 0 25px;
background-color: #f5f5fa;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dddddd;
}
.select--option:last-child {
border-bottom: none;
}
.select--option:nth-child(2n) {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.select--option input{
display: none;
}
.single-option {
height: 55px;
background-color: #2595ec;
font-size: 0.8rem;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.cust-sel {
width: 200px;
height: 38px;
background-color: #f5f5fa;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
}
.cust-sel:focus {
outline-width: 0;
}
<html>
<head>
<title>An example</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<span> This is parent component</span>
<p>I want to have data from select here: "{{selectedFruit}}"</p>
<child :options="options" v-model="selectedFruit"></child>
</div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
But my problem is now how to return data from child to parent component using v-model on child component.
(I know I could emit data from child component and do:<custom-select :options="someOptions" @selected="setSelectedOption"/>
but I need it to be reusable and writing more and more methods to retrieve data from every select in parent component is not exactly how it should work I think.)
Also I need to have an entire object returned, not only ID. (that's why i've got :value="option"
)
Any ideas?
As Vue Guide said:
v-model is essentially syntax sugar for updating data on user input events, plus special care for some edge cases.
The syntax sugar will be like:
the directive=v-model
will bind value, then listen input
event to make change like v-bind:value="val" v-on:input="val = $event.target.value"
So for your use case, you need to create one prop=value, then emit the selected option with event=input.
Like below demo (bind/emit the whole option object):
Vue.config.productionTip = false
Vue.component('child', {
template: `<div class="component-container" @click="showOptions = !showOptions">
<div class="component__select">
<span class="component__select--name">{{value ? value.name : 'Select Fruit'}}</span>
<span class="c-arrow-down" v-if="!showOptions"></span>
<span class="c-arrow-up" v-if="showOptions"></span>
</div>
<ul class="component__select-options" v-if="showOptions" >
<li class="select--option" v-for="option in options" @click="selectOption(option)">
<label> <input type="checkbox" :value="option"/> {{option.name}}</label>
</li>
</ul>
</div>`,
methods: {
selectOption(option) {
this.$emit('input', option)
}
},
data: () => ({
showOptions: false
}),
props: ['options', 'value']
});
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: () => ({
options: [
{id: 0, name: 'Apple'},
{id: 1, name: 'Banana'},
{id: 2, name: 'Orange'},
{id: 2, name: 'Strawberry'},
],
selectedFruit: ''
}),
})
.component__select {
height: 38px;
background-color: #F5F7FA;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
line-height: 38px;
display: grid;
max-width: 500px;
grid-template-columns: 10fr 1fr;
}
.component__select--name {
font-size: 0.8rem;
padding: 0 0 0 25px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.c-arrow-down {
justify-self: end;
}
.component__select-options {
max-height: 180px;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
border-top: none;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1500;
max-width: 500px;
width: 500px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.select--option {
height: 35px;
display: grid;
align-content: center;
padding: 0 0 0 25px;
background-color: #f5f5fa;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dddddd;
}
.select--option:last-child {
border-bottom: none;
}
.select--option:nth-child(2n) {

}
.single-option {

background-color: #2595ec;

.cust-sel {

.cust-sel:focus {
