      My value is: {{ option.value }}
    </template>
  </VueSelect>
</template>

    :is-multi="true"

    </template>
  </VueSelect>
</template>

      No options found.
    </template>
  </VueSelect>
</template>

Type: slotProps: {}

Customize the rendered template for the dropdown icon. Please note that the slot is placed inside the button, so you don't have to deal with attaching event-listeners.

      <MyCustomIcon />
    </template>
  </VueSelect>

    <template #clear>
      <MyCustomIcon />
    </template>
  </VueSelect>
</template>

loading

    :options="options"
    :is-loading="true"
  >
    <template #loading>
