After extensive searching, I stumbled upon an amazing searchable select Vue component that has caught my eye: https://github.com/monterail/vue-multiselect.
However, there seems to be a small issue when it comes to feeding it an array of objects as options. The data binds to the entire object instead of just the value.
Interestingly enough, I came across an issue in the repository that was created 8 hours before my own quest began:
https://github.com/monterail/vue-multiselect/issues/263
I sense that I might be overlooking something obvious. Any assistance on this matter would be highly appreciated.
