Question 1

How to implement multi-select dropdown with v-selectmenu?

Accepted Answer

Use components like SelectMenuCheckboxGroup or SelectMenuRadioGroup within SelectMenuBody. The library supports multiple selection modes, and you can handle selections via event listeners, as shown in the usage example with @action handlers.

Question 2

v-selectmenu vs Vue Select: which is better for complex menus?

Accepted Answer

v-selectmenu excels in modularity and customization for complex, nested menus with interactive elements, while Vue Select is more focused on simple select inputs with search and tagging. Choose v-selectmenu if you need fine-grained control over layout and behavior.

Question 3

Can I customize the styling of v-selectmenu components?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the extensive slot system and custom CSS. Each component can be overridden using slots, allowing full control over styles, but it requires manual CSS work as the library is not pre-styled.

Question 4

How to add nested dropdowns in v-selectmenu?

Accepted Answer

Use the SelectMenuChildLevel component to create hierarchical menus within SelectMenuBody. Combine it with SelectMenuGroup for organizing nested items, as indicated in the component list for building multi-level structures.

Question 5

Is v-selectmenu accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

Accessibility is not explicitly covered in the README, so developers may need to manually add ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. This lack of built-in features could be a barrier for accessibility-focused projects.

Question 6

How to handle events in v-selectmenu?

Accepted Answer

Components emit events like @action on SelectMenuBody; for example, you can bind a function like handleAction to log or respond to user interactions, as demonstrated in the basic usage snippet.
