## Configuration

### Basic props

| Name | {Type} Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **mode** | `{string} 'single'` | Possible values: `'single'\|'multiple'\|'tags'`. |
| **options** | `{array\|object\|function} []` | List of options. Can be:<br>- an array (eg. `[1,2,3]`)<br>- an object (eg. `{a:1,b:2,c:3}`)<br>- an array of objects:<br>`[`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`{`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`[valueProp]: 1,`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`[label]: 'v1',`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`disabled:true\|false`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`},`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`//...`<br>`]`<br>- a function returning a Promise (async function) with `query` and `select$` param. The `select$` represents the Multiselect component and its API can be accessed. The promise should return options as an **object** or as an **array of objects**.<br>When an array of objects is provided it **must** have properties that equal to `:valueProp`'s, `:trackBy`'s and `:label`'s value. |
| **groups** | `{boolean} false` | Whether options should be grouped. Example:<br>`{`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`groups: true,`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`options: [`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`{`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`[groupLabel]: 'Group label',`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`[groupOptions]: {options},`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`disabled: true\|false,`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`}`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`//...`<Br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`]`<br>`}`<br>The `{options}` should equal to regular `options` definition. |
| **groupLabel** | `{string} 'label'` | The name of the property that contains the label of a group when `options` are provided in group format and `groups` is `true`. |
| **groupOptions** | `{string} 'options'` | The name of the property that contains the options of a group when `options` are provided in group format and `groups` is `true`. |
| **groupSelect** | `{boolean} true` | Whether groups can be selected when using `multiple` or `tags` mode. |
| **groupHideEmpty** | `{boolean} false` | Whether groups that have no `options` by default should be hidden. |
| **required** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the HTML5 required attribute should be used for multiselect (using an invisible fake input). |
| **infinite** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the actual option nodes should only be loaded on scroll. The `limit` option defines how many options are loaded initially and in each new batch. |
| **appendToBody** | `{boolean} false` | **[Vue 3 only]** *(experimental)* Whether the dropdown list should be appended to `<body>` and positioned absolutely. |
| **appendTo** | `{string} undefined` | **[Vue 3 only]** *(experimental)* Can be used instead of `appendToBody` to teleport the dropdown to a specific DOM. The value should be a query selector. |
| **closeOnScroll** | `{boolean} false` | Closes the dropdown list on scrolling parent DOM / window when using `appendToBody: true`. |
| **searchable** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the options should be searchable. |
| **valueProp** | `{string} 'value'` | If you provide an array of objects as `options` this property should be used as the value of the option. |
| **trackBy** | `{string\|array} undefined` | The name(s) of the properties that should be searched when `searchable` is `true` and an array of objects are provided as `options`. If left `undefined` the `label` prop will be used instead. |
| **label** | `{string} 'label'` | If you provide an array of objects as `options` the value of this property will be displayed as selected option. |
| **disabledProp** | `{string} 'disabled'` | If you provide an array of objects as `options` this property should be used to determine whether the option is disabled. |
| **placeholder** | `{string} null` | The text that should be displayed before any option is selected. |
| **multipleLabel** | `function(value, select$)` | A function that returns the label to be displayed for selected options when using `multiple` mode. It receives `value` as first argument and the multiselect component `select$` as second. By default it renders `1 option selected` and `[n] options selected` based on `value` length. |
| **disabled** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the input should be disabled for the user (API can still be used programmatically). |
| **inputType** | `{string} 'text'` | The `type` attribute of the search input. |
| **autocomplete** | `{string} undefined` | The `autocomplete` attribute of the search input. |
| **rtl** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the multiselect should be right-to-left. It also respects `dir="rtl"` on any parent element. |
| **max** | `{number} -1` | The maximum number of options that **can be selected** when using `multiple` or `tags` mode. If `-1` the number of options won't be limited. |
| **limit** | `{number} -1` | The maximum number of options that **should be displayed**. If `-1` the number of options won't be limited. |

| **locale** | `{string} 'en'` | The fallback locale. |
| **noOptionsText** | `{string\|object} 'The list is empty'` | The text that should be displayed when options list is empty. It can be an object with different keys for different locales. |
| **noResultsText** | `{string\|object} 'No results found'` | The text that should be displayed when there are no search results. It can be an object with different keys for different locales. |
| **openDirection** | `{string} 'bottom'` | Whether the option list should be displayed above or below the multiselect. Possible values: `top\|bottom` |
| **reverse** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the option list should be reversed. Only works with `groups: false`. |
| **regex** | `{regex\|string} undefined` | The regex that search input should be tested against when `searchable: true`. |
| **strict** | `{boolean} true` | Whether should regard accents/diacritics in search. |
| **searchStart** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the search should match the start of the options' `trackBy`s. |
| **searchFilter** | `function(option, query, select$) null` | A custom search function that overrides the default search algorithm. |
| **aria** | `object` | An object containing aria attributes to be added for the multiselect. |

### Advanced Props

| Name | {Type} Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **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](#example-13) |
| **canDeselect** | `{boolean} true` | Whether a selected option can be deselected when using `single` mode. |
| **canClear** | `{boolean} true` | Whether option(s) can be cleared. |
| **clearOnSearch** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the option list should be cleared when a new character is typed before loading new options list, when using async options. |
| **clearOnSelect** | `{boolean} true` | Whether the option list should be cleared upon selecting an option when using async options. |
| **closeOnSelect** | `{boolean} true` | Whether the option list should be closed upon selecting an option. |
| **closeOnDeselect** | `{boolean} true` | Whether the option list should be closed upon deselecting an option. |
| **clearOnBlur** | `{boolean} true` | Whether the search should be cleared when the input is blurred when `searchable: true`. |
| **delay** | `{number} -1` | The delay in milliseconds that should occur between the last typed character and refreshing an async option list. If `-1` the option list will not refresh when the search query changes. If `0` it will refresh without delay. |
| **filterResults** | `{boolean} true` | 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` | Whether async options should be loaded initially (with an empty query). This should be `true` if you are planning to load non-object value(s) initially while using async options (to fetch matching objects for values). |
| **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.**<br>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. |
| **createTag** | `{boolean} false` | **Deprecated 2.3.0: use `createOption` instead.**<br>Whether it should allow creating new tags based on search query when using `tags` mode. |
| **addTagOn** | `{array} ['enter']` | **Deprecated 2.3.0: use `addOptionOn` instead.**<br>The list of keys that creates a new tag while typing in the search field when having `createTag` enabled. Possible values: `'enter'\|'space'\|'tab'\|';'\|','`. |
| **appendNewOption** | `{boolean} true` | Whether it should append new option automatically to option list when `searchable` and `createTag` are enabled. If set to `false` you need to take care of appending a new option to the provided `:options` list upon `@option` event. |
| **createOption** | `{boolean} false` | Whether it should allow creating new options based on search query when `searchable` is enabled. |
| **addOptionOn** | `{array} ['enter']` | The list of keys that creates a new option while typing in the search field when having `createOption` enabled. Possible values: `'enter'\|'space'\|'tab'\|';'\|','`. |
| **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` | Whether selected options should be excluded from the option list when using `multiple` or `tags` mode. |
| **showOptions** | `{boolean} true` | Whether option list should be displayed. Can be used to create free-typed tags. |
| **object** | `{boolean} false` | Whether the value should be stored as an object.<br>If **false**:<br>`value: ['js','jsx','ts']`<br>If **true**:<br> `value: [`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`{value:'js',label:'Javascript'},`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`{value:'jsx',label:'JSX'},`<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;`{value:'ts',label:'Typescript'}`<br>`]` |
| **attrs** | `{object} {}` | HTML attributes to add to the `input` field when `search` is enabled. |
| **nativeSupport** | `{boolean} false` | Whether hidden input fields should be appended to achieve native data handling. |

## Slots

| Slot | Attributes | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **placeholder** | | Rendered as placeholder when the multiselect does not have value and `placeholder` prop is defined. |
| **afterlist** | | Rendered after the options list. |
| **beforelist** | | Rendered before the options list. |
| **multiplelabel** | `values` | Rendered when using `multiple` mode and options are selected. By default it renders the return value of `multipleLabel` function. |
| **nooptions** |  | Rendered when the options list is empty. By default renders `noOptionsText`. |
| **noresults** |  | Rendered when there are no search results. By default renders `noResultsText`. |
| **grouplabel** | `group, isPointed, isSelected` | Renders an option group label. The `isPointed` and `isSelected` props are function that used be used like `isPointed(option)` to determine the state. |
| **option** | `option, isPointed, isSelected, search` | Renders an option in options list. The `isPointed` and `isSelected` props are function that used be used like `isPointed(option)` to determine the state. |
| **singlelabel** | `value` | Rendered when using `single` mode and an option is selected. By default it renders the `:label` if the selected option. |
| **tag** | `option, handleTagRemove, disabled` | Renders a tag when using `tags` mode. When `disabled` the remove icon should not be displayed. The `handleTagRemove` prop should be used to trigger the removal of the tag. |
| **caret** | `handleCaretClick, isOpen` | Renders a small triangle on the right side of the multiselect. The content of the slot should have `pointer-events: false` when `isOpen: false` to replicate the original behaviour. |
| **clear** | `clear` | Renders a remove icon if the multiselect has any value. The `clear` method should be used on `mousedown` event. |
| **spinner** | | Renders a loader icon when async options are being fetched. |
| **infinite** | | Renders a loader icon when infinite scroll is in progress. |

> Note: we don't use camelCase because they are [normalized back to lowercase](https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/9449#issuecomment-461170017) when written in DOM.

Or on an instance level:

```vue
<Multiselect
  v-model="value"
  :options="options"
  class="multiselect-green"
/>

<Multiselect
  v-model="value"
  :options="options"
  class="multiselect-blue"
/>
```

``` css
.multiselect-green {
  --ms-tag-bg: #D1FAE5;
  --ms-tag-color: #059669;
}

.multiselect-blue {
  --ms-tag-bg: #DBEAFE;
  --ms-tag-color: #2563EB;
}
```

### Styling with Tailwind CSS

To use `Multiselect` with Tailwind CSS first you need install `npm i -D mini-svg-data-uri` and add background images to `tailwind.config.js`:

``` js
// tailwind.config.js

const svgToDataUri = require('mini-svg-data-uri')

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      backgroundImage: (theme) => ({
        'multiselect-caret': `url("${svgToDataUri(
          `<svg viewBox="0 0 320 512" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M31.3 192h257.3c17.8 0 26.7 21.5 14.1 34.1L174.1 354.8c-7.8 7.8-20.5 7.8-28.3 0L17.2 226.1C4.6 213.5 13.5 192 31.3 192z"></path></svg>`,
        )}")`,
        'multiselect-spinner': `url("${svgToDataUri(
          `<svg viewBox="0 0 512 512" fill="${theme('colors.green.500')}" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M456.433 371.72l-27.79-16.045c-7.192-4.152-10.052-13.136-6.487-20.636 25.82-54.328 23.566-118.602-6.768-171.03-30.265-52.529-84.802-86.621-144.76-91.424C262.35 71.922 256 64.953 256 56.649V24.56c0-9.31 7.916-16.609 17.204-15.96 81.795 5.717 156.412 51.902 197.611 123.408 41.301 71.385 43.99 159.096 8.042 232.792-4.082 8.369-14.361 11.575-22.424 6.92z"></path></svg>`,
        )}")`,
        'multiselect-remove': `url("${svgToDataUri(
          `<svg viewBox="0 0 320 512" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M207.6 256l107.72-107.72c6.23-6.23 6.23-16.34 0-22.58l-25.03-25.03c-6.23-6.23-16.34-6.23-22.58 0L160 208.4 52.28 100.68c-6.23-6.23-16.34-6.23-22.58 0L4.68 125.7c-6.23 6.23-6.23 16.34 0 22.58L112.4 256 4.68 363.72c-6.23 6.23-6.23 16.34 0 22.58l25.03 25.03c6.23 6.23 16.34 6.23 22.58 0L160 303.6l107.72 107.72c6.23 6.23 16.34 6.23 22.58 0l25.03-25.03c6.23-6.23 6.23-16.34 0-22.58L207.6 256z"></path></svg>`,
        )}")`,
      })
    },
  }
}
```

Then you need to import `themes/tailwind.css` to you main component:

```vue
<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>
```

#### Using `:classes` prop

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`):

```vue
<Multiselect ... :classes="{
  container: 'relative mx-auto w-full flex items-center justify-end box-border cursor-pointer border border-gray-300 rounded bg-white text-base leading-snug outline-none',
  containerDisabled: 'cursor-default bg-gray-100',
  containerOpen: 'rounded-b-none',
  containerOpenTop: 'rounded-t-none',
  containerActive: 'ring ring-green-500 ring-opacity-30',
  wrapper: 'relative mx-auto w-full flex items-center justify-end box-border cursor-pointer outline-none',
  singleLabel: 'flex items-center h-full max-w-full absolute left-0 top-0 pointer-events-none bg-transparent leading-snug pl-3.5 pr-16 box-border rtl:left-auto rtl:right-0 rtl:pl-0 rtl:pr-3.5',
  singleLabelText: 'overflow-ellipsis overflow-hidden block whitespace-nowrap max-w-full',
  multipleLabel: 'flex items-center h-full absolute left-0 top-0 pointer-events-none bg-transparent leading-snug pl-3.5 rtl:left-auto rtl:right-0 rtl:pl-0 rtl:pr-3.5',
  search: 'w-full absolute inset-0 outline-none focus:ring-0 appearance-none box-border border-0 text-base font-sans bg-white rounded pl-3.5 rtl:pl-0 rtl:pr-3.5',
  tags: 'flex-grow flex-shrink flex flex-wrap items-center mt-1 pl-2 min-w-0 rtl:pl-0 rtl:pr-2',

  tagWrapperBreak: 'whitespace-normal break-all',
  tagRemove: 'flex items-center justify-center p-1 mx-0.5 rounded-sm hover:bg-black hover:bg-opacity-10 group',
  tagRemoveIcon: 'bg-multiselect-remove bg-center bg-no-repeat opacity-30 inline-block w-3 h-3 group-hover:opacity-60',
  tagsSearchWrapper: 'inline-block relative mx-1 mb-1 flex-grow flex-shrink h-full',
  tagsSearch: 'absolute inset-0 border-0 outline-none focus:ring-0 appearance-none p-0 text-base font-sans box-border w-full',
  tagsSearchCopy: 'invisible whitespace-pre-wrap inline-block h-px',
  placeholder: 'flex items-center h-full absolute left-0 top-0 pointer-events-none bg-transparent leading-snug pl-3.5 text-gray-400 rtl:left-auto rtl:right-0 rtl:pl-0 rtl:pr-3.5',
  caret: 'bg-multiselect-caret bg-center bg-no-repeat w-2.5 h-4 py-px box-content mr-3.5 relative z-10 opacity-40 flex-shrink-0 flex-grow-0 transition-transform transform pointer-events-none rtl:mr-0 rtl:ml-3.5',
  caretOpen: 'rotate-180 pointer-events-auto',
  clear: 'pr-3.5 relative z-10 opacity-40 transition duration-300 flex-shrink-0 flex-grow-0 flex hover:opacity-80 rtl:pr-0 rtl:pl-3.5',
  clearIcon: 'bg-multiselect-remove bg-center bg-no-repeat w-2.5 h-4 py-px box-content inline-block',
  spinner: 'bg-multiselect-spinner bg-center bg-no-repeat w-4 h-4 z-10 mr-3.5 animate-spin flex-shrink-0 flex-grow-0 rtl:mr-0 rtl:ml-3.5',

  dropdown: 'max-h-60 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',
  dropdownTop: '-translate-y-full top-px bottom-auto rounded-b-none rounded-t',
  dropdownHidden: 'hidden',
  options: 'flex flex-col p-0 m-0 list-none',
  optionsTop: '',
  group: 'p-0 m-0',
  groupLabel: 'flex text-sm box-border items-center justify-start text-left py-1 px-3 font-semibold bg-gray-200 cursor-default leading-normal',
  groupLabelPointable: 'cursor-pointer',
  groupLabelPointed: 'bg-gray-300 text-gray-700',
  groupLabelSelected: 'bg-green-600 text-white',
  groupLabelDisabled: 'bg-gray-100 text-gray-300 cursor-not-allowed',
  groupLabelSelectedPointed: 'bg-green-600 text-white opacity-90',
  groupLabelSelectedDisabled: 'text-green-100 bg-green-600 bg-opacity-50 cursor-not-allowed',
  groupOptions: 'p-0 m-0',
  option: 'flex items-center justify-start box-border text-left cursor-pointer text-base leading-snug py-2 px-3',
  optionPointed: 'text-gray-800 bg-gray-100',
  optionSelected: 'text-white bg-green-500',
  optionDisabled: 'text-gray-300 cursor-not-allowed',
  optionSelectedPointed: 'text-white bg-green-500 opacity-90',
  optionSelectedDisabled: 'text-green-100 bg-green-500 bg-opacity-50 cursor-not-allowed',
  noOptions: 'py-2 px-3 text-gray-600 bg-white text-left rtl:text-right',
  noResults: 'py-2 px-3 text-gray-600 bg-white text-left rtl:text-right',
  fakeInput: 'bg-transparent absolute left-0 right-0 -bottom-px w-full h-px border-0 p-0 appearance-none outline-none text-transparent',
  assist: 'absolute -m-px w-px h-px overflow-hidden',
  spacer: 'h-9 py-px box-content'
}" />
```

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](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@neojp/tailwindcss-important-variant) for eg. `bg-green-500!`.

### Async options with default values

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.

```vue
<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Select options"
    :close-on-select="false"
    :searchable="true"
    :object="true"
    :resolve-on-load="false"
    :delay="0"
    :min-chars="1"
    :options="async (query) => {
      return await fetchLanguages(query)
    }"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [
      { value: 'Java', label: 'Java' },
      { value: 'JavaScript', label: 'JavaScript' },
    ]
  })
}
</script>
```

### Default values that are not among the options using `object: true`

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.

```vue
<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Select options"
    :close-on-select="false"
    :searchable="true"
    :object="true"
    :resolve-on-load="false"
    :delay="0"
    :min-chars="1"
    :options="async (query) => {
      return await fetchLanguages(query)
    }"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [
      { value: 'Java', label: 'Java' },
      { value: 'JavaScript', label: 'JavaScript' },
    ]
  })
}
</script>
```

### Default values that are not among the options using `allowAbsent: true`

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.

```vue
<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Select options"
    :allow-absent="true"
    :close-on-select="false"
    :searchable="true"
    :resolve-on-load="false"
    :delay="0"
    :min-chars="1"
    :options="async (query) => {
      return await fetchLanguages(query)
    }"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [
      'Java',
      'JavaScript',
    ]
  })
}
</script>
```

### Manage created tag asynchronously

Search is restricted by `regex` and tag creation is controlled by `onCreate(option, select$)`.

```vue
<template>
  <Multiselect
    mode="tags"
    v-model="value"
    placeholder="Accepts numbers <= 67 (delay: 1000ms)"
    :options="[]"
    :create-option="true"
    :searchable="true"
    :regex="/\d/"
    :on-create="handleTagCreate"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    handleTagCreate: async (option, select$) => {
      // Do not allow create tags above 67
      if (parseInt(option.value) > 67) {
        alert(`${option.value} is not allowed. Option must by <= 67.`)

        // If returns `false` the tag will not be added
        return false
      }

      // Async request (eg. for validating)
      await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          resolve()
        }, 1000)
      })

      // Modifying option label
      option.label = option.label + ' - confirmed'

      return option
    }
  }
}
</script>
```

### Load async options from API on open with infinite scroll

Options are not loaded initially, only when the users clicks the dropdown the first time. It also virtualizes the option list with `infinite: true` even large list of options can be loaded.

```vue
<Multiselect
  v-model="value"
  mode="tags"
  placeholder="Choose your stack"
  :close-on-select="false"
  :filter-results="false"
  :min-chars="0"
  :resolve-on-load="false"
  :infinite="true"
  :limit="10"
  :clear-on-search="true"
  :delay="0"
  :searchable="true"
  :options="async (query) => {
    return await fetchLanguages(query)
  }"
  @open="(select$) => {
    if (select$.noOptions) {
      select$.resolveOptions()
    }
  }"
/>
```

### Multiselect with localized texts

Options are not loaded initially, only when the users clicks the dropdown the first time. It also virtualizes the option list with `infinite: true` even large list of options can be loaded.

```vue
<template>
  <Multiselect
    v-model="value"
    locale="de"
    fallback-locale="en"
    :options="[
      { value: 1, label: { en: 'One', de: 'Eins' } },
      { value: 2, label: { en: 'Two' } },
      { value: 3, label: { es: 'Tres'} },
      { value: 4, label: 'Four' },
    ]"
  />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: [1]
  })
}
</script>
```
