Tips for ensuring that the dropdown is always visible in v-autocomplete/v-select

I'm currently working on a project utilizing the v-autocomplete component, which is actually an extension of the v-select element.

In my scenario, I need to place this select element inside a v-menu container.

When attempting to wrap a v-select within a v-menu alongside a v-btn as an activator, the expected behavior would be to display a button first and upon clicking it, reveal the autocomplete dropdown menu.

Take a look at this CodePen to better understand my point: https://codepen.io/sntshk/pen/KKmjMPX?editors=1010

The issue with the current setup is that upon clicking the button, the dropdown items initially appear squished, giving a poor visual presentation. Only upon focusing on the v-select element by clicking, the full dropdown list is displayed.

My intention is to have the v-select element focused by default when clicking the button, ensuring the dropdown list is fully visible right away.

Hence, my question is, how can I ensure the v-select is focused by default?

Answer №1

To achieve this desired effect, simply set the autofocus property on the v-autocomplete element. Then, listen for the focus event on this element and add the following code:

@focus="$event.target.click"

By doing this, when the menu opens, the selection field will automatically receive focus and trigger the opening of the drop-down menu.

Feel free to check out the demo provided below:

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  vuetify: new Vuetify(),
  data: {
    flowers: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'lorem', 'ipsum', 'something', 'else', 'to', 'make', 'itemlist', 'long']
  }
})
