How to get the text of the selected option using vuejs?
I had this issue, where I needed to get a data attribute from a selected option, this is how I handled it:
<select @change="handleChange">
<option value="1" data-foo="bar123">Bar</option>
<option value="2" data-foo="baz456">Baz</option>
<option value="3" data-foo="fiz789">Fiz</option>
</select>
and in the Vue methods:
methods: {
handleChange(e) {
if(e.target.options.selectedIndex > -1) {
console.log(e.target.options[e.target.options.selectedIndex].dataset.foo)
}
}
}
But you can change it to get innerText
or whatever. If you're using jQuery you can $(e).find(':selected').data('foo')
or $(e).find(':selected').text()
to be a bit shorter.
If you are binding a model to the select element, it will only return the value (if set) or the contents of the option if there is no value set (like it would on submitting a form).
** EDIT **
I would say that the answer @MrMojoRisin gave is a much more elegant way of solving this.
The below code worked to get the Text from the selected option. I added a v-on:change , which calls a function onChange() to the select element.
methods:{
onChange: function(e){
var id = e.target.value;
var name = e.target.options[e.target.options.selectedIndex].text;
console.log('id ',id );
console.log('name ',name );
},
<select name="customerName" id="" v-on:change="onChangeSite($event)">
<option value="1">Jan</option>
<option value="2">Doe</option>
<option value="3">Khan</option>
</select>
Instead of define the value only as the id, you can bind the selected value with an object with two attributes: value and text. For example with products:
<div id="app">
<select v-model="selected">
<option v-for="product in products" v-bind:value="{ id: product.id, text: product.name }">
{{ product.name }}
</option>
</select>
</div>
Then you can access to the text through the "value":
<h1>Value:
{{selected.id}}
</h1>
<h1>Text:
{{selected.text}}
</h1>
Working example
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
selected: '',
products: [
{id: 1, name: 'A'},
{id: 2, name: 'B'},
{id: 3, name: 'C'}
]
}
})
<div id="app">
<select v-model="selected">
<option v-for="product in products" v-bind:value="{ id: product.id, text: product.name }">{{ product.name }}
</option>
</select>
<h1>Value:
{{selected.id}}
</h1>
<h1>Text:
{{selected.text}}
</h1>
</div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/vue.js"></script>
Assuming you have a customers
list and a selected customer
on your model, an example like below should work perfect:
<select v-model="theCustomer">
<option :value="customer" v-for="customer in customers">{{customer.name}}</option>
</select>
<h1>{{theCustomer.title}} {{theCustomer.name}}</h1>
