|---|---|---|
| allowAbsent | {boolean} false |
Whether values should be allowed which are not part of options even when using object: false. The selected values which are not part of the option list will have the same value and label. This can be useful if you're using an async option list with an array of string options as a result where both labels and values will be the same and you want to have default values which are not part of the initially resolved options. Example #13 |

Whether a selected option can be deselected when using single mode. |
| canClear | {boolean} true |
Whether option(s) can be cleared. |

Whether option list should be filtered by search query. This may be set to false if you are handling filtering manually when returning async options. |
| minChars | {number} 0 |
The minimum number of characters that should be typed to refresh async option list. If 0 it will refresh even when the search field becomes empty. |
| resolveOnLoad | {boolean} true |

| breakTags | {boolean} false |
Whether long tags should be broken into multiple lines (otherwise truncated at max width). |
| appendNewTag | {boolean} true |
Deprecated 2.3.0: use appendNewOption instead.Whether it should append new tag automatically to option list when using tags mode with createTag. If set to false you need to take care of appending a new tag to the provided :options list upon @tag event. |

| onCreate | function(option, select$) |
Transforms the created tag before being added when createOption is enabled. It receives the original option as first param, which is the object that would be added to the option list ({value: 'Value', label: 'Label'}) and the Multiselect component as the second. It should return an object that contains at least the keys defined by valueProp, label & trackBy options. If defined and returns false the option will not be added (the add can be handled manually by updating options & v-model). |
| hideSelected | {boolean} true |

}Then you need to import themes/tailwind.css to you main component:
<template>
<div id="app">
<Multiselect ... />
</div>
</template>
<script>
// ...
</script>
<style>
@import '@vueform/multiselect/themes/tailwind.css';
/* or */
/* @import './path/to/node_modules/@vueform/multiselect/themes/tailwind.css'; */
</style>Alternatively you can define class names directly by passing them to the Multiselect component via classes property. When using this approach you don't need to import tailwind.css. Here's a default styling for Tailwind CSS (the same included in tailwind.css):

}" />Certain classes has different states which are merged to the base class when the state is active. For example dropdown will be merged with dropdownTop when open-direction: 'top' resulting in the following classes:
absolute -left-px -right-px bottom-0 transform translate-y-full border border-gray-300 -mt-px overflow-y-scroll z-50 bg-white flex flex-col rounded-b -translate-y-full top-px bottom-auto rounded-b-none rounded-t
The same is true for container, tag, options, groupLabel and option classes.
In case you need to override the same type of utility you might use @neojp/tailwind-important-variant for eg. bg-green-500!.

</style>When using resolveOnLoad: false we can add default values with object: true and providing options as objects, containing both label and value props. This is because option list is not resolved when the component is mounted so Multiselect has no idea of what option labels should be if only plain values were provided.
<template>
<Multiselect
mode="tags"
v-model="value"
placeholder="Select options"
:close-on-select="false"
:searchable="true"
:object="true"

return await fetchLanguages(query)

</template>
<script>
export default {
data: () => ({
value: [
{ value: 'Java', label: 'Java' },
{ value: 'JavaScript', label: 'JavaScript' },
]
})
}
</script>If we want to add default values without having to add them to options list we can use object: true and provide them as objects, containing both label and value props. This is because if a plain value is not among Multiselect options it has no idea of what option label should be.
<template>
<Multiselect
mode="tags"
v-model="value"
placeholder="Select options"
:close-on-select="false"
:searchable="true"
:object="true"

</template>
<script>
export default {
data: () => ({
value: [
{ value: 'Java', label: 'Java' },
{ value: 'JavaScript', label: 'JavaScript' },
]
})
}
</script>If our async option list returns an array of strings we can use allowAbsent: true to allow value(s) which are not among the option list. The reason why this only works with an array of strings option list is because plain values like Java and JavaScript will use the same string for label and value.
