v-select defaultText is not selectable

[mfferreira]

There should be an option for v-select to enable the selection of defaultText.

Either that or an option to default to one of the items in :options.

After experimenting with ways to handle this, I'm currently at the conclusion of in order to solve this, I would need to place a slot that you can manually iterate through options for. Here's why:

With v-model, I'm able to notify the parent of changes made to the value property within the child. Let's say I only pass an options array-

options: [{ text: 'Value 1', value: 1},{ text: 'Value 2', value: 2, selected: true}]

and I use the selected property to determine what is selected. How do I notify the parent of the change? Do I keep a shallow copy in the component and only update that if the instance isn't bound by a v-model? I can do that, which would be an alternative to the slot, but is there a compelling use-case?

As far as to enable the selection of the defaultText, it's technically not an option that is bound for selection, it is only there to represent an empty state.

The use case would be for editing data. When selecting an object, you'd want to fill the form with object (selected) properties.

Here's a bit more argument for this.

On my specific use case, I have objects that reference other objects. For example, a User as a property roleId referencing a Role object. But this property is not required, which means that roleId can be left undefined/null.
From a UX perspective, on the select input I have two options:

• either I set a label to it and have the first select option for None, to be able to not have a Role selected for this User. Problem: I'm not able to select "None" if I have another option selected.
  
  

• or I don't set a label and have the first select option as the "label". Problem: Looks weird, specially cause all the other inputs have labels set.
  
  

Hope that shines some light about the (UX) issue.

This sounds reasonable, I'll prep this for v0.8.4
