InputMenu - Nuxt UI

Usage

The InputMenu component renders by default an Input component and is based on the ui.input preset. You can use most of the Input props to configure the display such as color, variant, size, placeholder, icon, disabled, etc.

You can use the ui prop like the Input component to override the default config. The uiMenu prop can be used to override the default menu config.

Pass an array of strings or objects to the options prop to display in the menu.

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']

const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" />
</template>

This component does not support multiple values. Use the SelectMenu component instead.

Objects

You can pass an array of objects to options and either compare on the whole object or use the by prop to compare on a specific key. You can configure which field will be used to display the label through the option-attribute prop that defaults to label.

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { Avatar } from '#ui/types'

const people = [{
  id: 'benjamincanac',
  label: 'benjamincanac',
  href: 'https://github.com/benjamincanac',
  target: '_blank',
  avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4' }
}, {
  id: 'Atinux',
  label: 'Atinux',
  href: 'https://github.com/Atinux',
  target: '_blank',
  avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/904724?v=4' }
}, {
  id: 'smarroufin',
  label: 'smarroufin',
  href: 'https://github.com/smarroufin',
  target: '_blank',
  avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7547335?v=4' }
}, {
  id: 'nobody',
  label: 'Nobody',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-user-circle'
}]

const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people">
    <template #leading>
      <UIcon v-if="selected.icon" :name="(selected.icon as string)" class="w-4 h-4 mx-0.5" />
      <UAvatar v-else-if="selected.avatar" v-bind="(selected.avatar as Avatar)" size="3xs" class="mx-0.5" />
    </template>
  </UInputMenu>
</template>

Use the search-attributes prop with an array of property names to search on each option object. Nested attributes can be accessed using dot.notation. When the property value is an array or object, these are cast to string so these can be searched within.

<script setup lang="ts">
const options = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Wade Cooper', colors: ['red', 'yellow'] },
  { id: 2, name: 'Arlene Mccoy', colors: ['blue', 'yellow'] },
  { id: 3, name: 'Devon Webb', colors: ['green', 'blue'] },
  { id: 4, name: 'Tom Cook', colors: ['blue', 'red'] },
  { id: 5, name: 'Tanya Fox', colors: ['green', 'red'] },
  { id: 5, name: 'Hellen Schmidt', colors: ['green', 'yellow'] }
]

const selected = ref(options[1])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Select a person"
    by="id"
    option-attribute="name"
    :search-attributes="['name', 'colors']"
  >
    <template #option="{ option: person }">
      <span v-for="color in person.colors" :key="color.id" class="h-2 w-2 rounded-full" :class="`bg-${color}-500 dark:bg-${color}-400`" />
      <span class="truncate">{{ person.name }}</span>
    </template>
  </UInputMenu>
</template>

If you only want to select a single object property rather than the whole object as value, you can set the value-attribute property. This prop defaults to null.

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = [{
  id: 1,
  name: 'Wade Cooper'
}, {
  id: 2,
  name: 'Arlene Mccoy'
}, {
  id: 3,
  name: 'Devon Webb'
}, {
  id: 4,
  name: 'Tom Cook'
}]

const selected = ref(people[0].id)
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    v-model="selected"
    :options="people"
    value-attribute="id"
    option-attribute="name"
  />
</template>

Icon

The InputMenu has a button on the right to toggle the menu. Use the trailing-icon prop to set a different icon or change it globally in ui.inputMenu.default.trailingIcon. Defaults to i-heroicons-chevron-down-20-solid.

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-up-down-20-solid"
    class="w-full lg:w-48"
    placeholder="Select a person"
    :options="['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']"
  />
</template>

Use the selected-icon prop to set a different icon or change it globally in ui.inputMenu.default.selectedIcon. Defaults to i-heroicons-check-20-solid.

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    selected-icon="i-heroicons-hand-thumb-up-solid"
    class="w-full lg:w-48"
    placeholder="Select a person"
    :options="['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']"
  />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const options = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Wade Cooper', colors: ['red', 'yellow'] },
  { id: 2, name: 'Arlene Mccoy', colors: ['blue', 'yellow'] },
  { id: 3, name: 'Devon Webb', colors: ['green', 'blue'] },

  { id: 5, name: 'Tanya Fox', colors: ['green', 'red'] },
  { id: 5, name: 'Hellen Schmidt', colors: ['green', 'yellow'] }
]

const selected = ref(options[1])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    v-model="selected"
    :options="options"
    placeholder="Select a person"
    by="id"
    option-attribute="name"
    :search-attributes="['name', 'colors']"
  >
    <template #option="{ option: person }">
      <span v-for="color in person.colors" :key="color.id" class="h-2 w-2 rounded-full" :class="`bg-${color}-500 dark:bg-${color}-400`" />
      <span class="truncate">{{ person.name }}</span>
    </template>
  </UInputMenu>
</template>

Control the query

Use a v-model:query to control the search query.

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']

const selected = ref()
const query = ref('Wade')
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    v-model="selected"
    v-model:query="query"
    :options="people"
    placeholder="Select a person"
  />
</template>

Async search

Pass a function to the search prop to customize the search behavior and filter options according to your needs. The function will receive the query as its first argument and should return an array.

Use the debounce prop to adjust the delay of the function.

<script setup lang="ts">
const loading = ref(false)
const selected = ref()

async function search (q: string) {
  loading.value = true

  const users = await $fetch<any[]>('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', { params: { q } })

  loading.value = false

  return users
}
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu
    v-model="selected"
    :search="search"
    :loading="loading"
    placeholder="Search for a user..."
    option-attribute="name"
    trailing
    by="id"
  />
</template>

Popper

Use the popper prop to customize the popper instance.

Arrow

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']

const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" :popper="{ arrow: true }" />
</template>

Placement

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']

const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" :popper="{ placement: 'right-start' }" />
</template>

Offset

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']

const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" :popper="{ offsetDistance: 0 }" />
</template>

Slots

`option`

Use the #option slot to customize the option content. You will have access to the option, active and selected properties in the slot scope.

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = [
  { name: 'Wade Cooper', online: true },
  { name: 'Arlene Mccoy', online: false },
  { name: 'Devon Webb', online: false },
  { name: 'Tom Cook', online: true },
  { name: 'Tanya Fox', online: false },
  { name: 'Hellen Schmidt', online: true },
  { name: 'Caroline Schultz', online: true },
  { name: 'Mason Heaney', online: false },
  { name: 'Claudie Smitham', online: true },
  { name: 'Emil Schaefer', online: false }
]

const selected = ref(people[3])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" option-attribute="name">
    <template #option="{ option: person }">
      <span :class="[person.online ? 'bg-green-400' : 'bg-gray-200', 'inline-block h-2 w-2 flex-shrink-0 rounded-full']" aria-hidden="true" />
      <span class="truncate">{{ person.name }}</span>
    </template>
  </UInputMenu>
</template>

`option-empty`

Use the #option-empty slot to customize the content displayed when the searchable prop is true and there is no options. You will have access to the query property in the slot scope.

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = ['Wade Cooper', 'Arlene Mccoy', 'Devon Webb', 'Tom Cook', 'Tanya Fox', 'Hellen Schmidt', 'Caroline Schultz', 'Mason Heaney', 'Claudie Smitham', 'Emil Schaefer']

const selected = ref(people[0])
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people" searchable>
    <template #option-empty="{ query }">
      <q>{{ query }}</q> not found
    </template>
  </UInputMenu>
</template>

`empty`

Use the #empty slot to customize the content displayed when there is no options. Defaults to No options..

<script setup lang="ts">
const people = []

const selected = ref()
</script>

<template>
  <UInputMenu v-model="selected" :options="people">
    <template #empty>
      No people
    </template>
  </UInputMenu>
