Filter Option with select tag Vue/Mongo DB

Question

I have an array of objects in my Vue instance which consist of data from a MongoDB server, and an array of numbers which represents weeks. The Arrays looks like this:

courses: [
{Course: "A" Week: "1"}, 
{Course: "B" Week: "1"}, 
{Course: "A" Week: "2"}, 
{Course: "B" Week: "2"}
 ],

weeksInSemester: [1,2,3]

I display my data with ejs like this:

<div v-for="value in courses">
   {{ value.Course }}
</div>

So far so good. Now I want to be able to filter the results from an tag like this:

<select>
  <option v-for="weeks in weeksInSemester">
     {{ weeks }}
  </option>
</select>

I have been working/looking around for some time now, and not been able to find any solutions. What would be the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Use v-model on the select:

<select v-model="selected">

Create a computed to filter the courses by the selected value:

computed: {
 filteredCourses() {
    if (this.selected) {
      return this.courses.filter(v => v.Week === this.selected);
    }
    return this.courses;
  }
}

Use the computed with the v-for :

<div v-for="value in filteredCourses">
   {{ value.Course }}
</div>

Demo:

 /***** APP *****/ new Vue({ el: "#app", data() { return { selected: null, courses: [ {Course: "A", Week: "1"}, {Course: "B", Week: "1"}, {Course: "A", Week: "2"}, {Course: "B", Week: "2"} ], weeksInSemester: [1,2,3] } }, computed: { filteredCourses() { if (this.selected) { return this.courses.filter(v => v.Week === this.selected); } return this.courses; } } });

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script> <div id="app"> <div v-for="value in filteredCourses"> {{ value.Course }} </div> <select v-model="selected"> <option value="">All</option> <option v-for="weeks in weeksInSemester"> {{ weeks }} </option> </select> </div>

Edit for your question in comments:

To add an "All" option, you can insert a static option whose value is the empty string, which won't pass the selected check:

<select v-model="selected">
  <option value="">All</option>
  <option v-for="weeks in weeksInSemester">
     {{ weeks }}
  </option>
</select>
