## Select
When there are plenty of options, use a drop-down menu to display and select desired ones.
### Basic usage
:::demo `v-model` is the value of `el-option` that is currently selected.
```html
```
:::
### Disabled option
:::demo Set the value of `disabled` in `el-option` to `true` to disable this option.
```html
```
:::
### Disabled select
Disable the whole component.
:::demo Set `disabled` of `el-select` to make it disabled.
```html
```
:::
### Clearable single select
You can clear Select using a clear icon.
:::demo Set `clearable` attribute for `el-select` and a clear icon will appear. Note that `clearable` is only for single select.
```html
```
:::
### Basic multiple select
Multiple select uses tags to display selected options.
:::demo Set `multiple` attribute for `el-select` to enable multiple mode. In this case, the value of `v-model` will be an array of selected options.
```html
```
:::
### Custom template
You can customize HTML templates for options.
:::demo Insert customized HTML templates into the slot of `el-option`.
```html
{{ item.label }}
{{ item.value }}
```
:::
### Grouping
Display options in groups.
:::demo Use `el-option-group` to group the options, and its `label` attribute stands for the name of the group.
```html
```
:::
### Option filtering
You can filter options for your desired ones.
:::demo Adding `filterable` to `el-select` enables filtering. By default, Select will find all the options whose `label` attribute contains the input value. If you prefer other filtering strategies, you can pass the `filter-method`. `filter-method` is a `Function` that gets called when the input value changed, and its parameter is the current input value.
```html
```
:::
### Remote Search
Enter keywords and search data from server.
:::demo Set the value of `filterable` and `remote` with `true` to enable remote search, and you should pass the `remote-method`. `remote-method` is a `Function` that gets called when the input value changes, and its parameter is the current input value. Note that if `el-option` is rendered with the `v-for` directive, you should add the `key` attribute for `el-option`. Its value needs to be unique, such as `item.value` in the following example.
```html
```
:::
### Create new items
Create and select new items that are not included in select options
:::demo By using the `allow-create` attribute, users can create new items by typing in the input box. Note that for `allow-create` to work, `filterable` must be `true`.
```html
```
