Topic: mdb-select customizing text and value source properties

deanliou premium asked 5 years ago


Is it possible to customize the mdb-select element to specify the fields that map to the text and value properties? For example, my data is currently:

var users=[
    {"userid": 1, "fullname": "john doe"},
    {"userid": 2, "fullname": "jane doe"}
    ]

I looked through your Vue Select documentation, also in the API section, but don't see how I might go about this.

Something I imagine working could be:

<mdb-select v-model="users" item-text="fullname" item-value="userid" />

Is that possible?

Thank you in advance.

You can specify both text and value for options in mdbSelect:

<mdb-select v-model="basicOptions" />

In this component, v-model modifies the array of options by adding selected: true flag.

basicOptions: [
        { text: 'Option nr 1', value: 'Option 1' }, 
        { text: 'Option nr 2', value: 'Option 2' }, 
        { text: 'Option nr 3', value: 'Option 3' }, 
        { text: 'Option nr 4', value: 'Option 4' }, 
        { text: 'Option nr 5', value: 'Option 5' , selected: true}
      ],

Further data modification is up to you - you can loop through data to get selected items and use value property instead of the text. Let me know if it solves your issue. KInd regards, Magdalena
