DevExtreme Vue - Overview

The SelectBox widget is an editor that allows an end user to select an item from a drop-down list.

View Demo

The following code adds the SelectBox to your page. The simplest configuration of the widget requires only a dataSource to be specified. In addition, you can specify the placeholder to be displayed when the SelectBox is empty.

HTML
JavaScript
  • <div id="selectBoxContainer"></div>
  • $(function() {
  • $("#selectBoxContainer").dxSelectBox({
  • dataSource: [
  • "HD Video Player",
  • "SuperHD Video Player",
  • "SuperPlasma 50",
  • // ...
  • ],
  • placeholder: "Select a product..."
  • });
  • });

If your data is an array of objects, specify:

  • valueExpr
    The data field whose value will be written into the value option.
  • displayExpr
    The data field whose value will be displayed in the drop-down list and in the input field of the widget.
JavaScript
  • var selectBoxData = [
  • { id: 1, country: "Afghanistan" },
  • { id: 2, country: "Albania" },
  • // ...
  • ];
  •  
  • $(function() {
  • $("#selectBoxContainer").dxSelectBox({
  • dataSource: selectBoxData,
  • valueExpr: 'id',
  • displayExpr: 'country'
  • });
  • });
