Initial selected object

[p0g]

• vue-autosuggest version: 2.2.0

hi.

How to preselect an object value?

Using the v-model, is only setting the "userinput", but not the selected-value (and it only accept Strings)

See the forked sandbox where i try to set Gandalf at the inital, selected object, without any user-interaction.

This function is relevant for an project where i store the selected object in localstorage, to restore later without bother the user every time.

I think this would be a good addition. The v-model is only for the query, not the selected item. There was some initial hackery with setChangeItem, but providing a prop or other that can set the initial item would be good. initialSelected or something, open to ideas.

re: "too outdated" comment, I am curious if there is anything you feel is outdated with respect to Vue 2.x? I am currently porting it over to support Vue 3.x here: https://github.com/darrenjennings/vue-autosuggest/tree/next/v3

Hello @darrenjennings! I'm using your component and am trying to set a default value from my :suggestions list.
I would like to know if you can show how to, as you said, hack it, and set the default value.

I found the solution. The component accepts v-model, you can set the default value that way.
