Vue Select is a mature, zero-dependency Vue 2 component library that implements a feature-rich select/dropdown/typeahead UI element. It supports single and multiple selection, tagging, AJAX-powered search, keyboard navigation, RTL, and extensive customization via slots, props, CSS variables, and child component overrides. The library is distributed via npm and can be used as a Vue plugin or global component. The architecture is centered around a single large Vue component (Select.vue) that composes mixins for type-ahead pointer management, auto-scrolling, and AJAX loading, plus child components for the clear button and open indicator. It follows WAI-ARIA practices for accessibility and includes a complete set of unit tests. While the component is tightly coupled internally, it exposes a well-documented API for external configuration. The codebase is actively maintained with semantic release, bundle size monitoring, and a separate Vue 3 beta branch.
