## What it is
A lightweight, zero-dependency Vue component that replaces the native HTML <select> element with a feature-rich, accessible dropdown/combobox. It supports filtering, tagging, single/multiple selection, AJAX, Vuex, and SSR, and is customizable via slots and SCSS variables.

## Use cases
- replace html select with a searchable dropdown in vue
- multi-select combobox with tagging in vue 3
- accessible listbox component for vue forms
- load select options via ajax in a vue app
- filterable typeahead dropdown for vue
- use a select component with vuex state

## When to choose
- you need a rich select/combobox in a Vue 2 or Vue 3 app
- accessibility (WAI-ARIA) and small bundle size matter
- you want slot-based customization of dropdown options

## When to avoid
- you are not using Vue (e.g., React, Angular, vanilla JS)
- you only need a plain native select with no filtering or tagging
- you need a headless/unstyled component and prefer full styling control

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- domain: web-development, frontend, accessibility
