Introduction

If you’re working with the Vue Quasar framework and using the q-select component, you might run into a common issue where the q-select displays [object Object] by default when it is bound to a v-model that is initialized as an empty object. This can be confusing, especially since the dropdown works fine once clicked, showing the expected options. This guide will walk you through the solution to this problem, enabling a smoother user experience from the start.

The Problem Explained

In your Vue component, you likely have a setup that retrieves data asynchronously from a source like Firestore. As you display that data in a q-select, you might see that the component does not behave as expected on initial load, displaying [object Object]. This typically occurs when the model you are binding to is not properly initialized.

Example Scenario

In your data section, you have an array called ebscoCachedSearchesController, which is populated using the following Vue lifecycle method:

When the component first loads, the model (which is likely empty) leads to the display of [object Object] in the q-select.

Solution Overview

The key to resolving this issue is straightforward: initialize your v-model with a proper value that corresponds to one of the options in the q-select. Instead of starting with an empty object, have it default to null or a proper option from your data array.

Step-by-Step Solution

Ensure Proper Initialization
Change the initialization of your v-model in the Vue component. If you have a model called ebscoTemp, instead of leaving it as an empty object, you can set it to null initially:

Modify Your Template
In your template where the q-select is defined, there's no need for changes if you've set ebscoTemp to null:

Test Your Implementation
After these modifications, run your application. You should see that the q-select component now starts in its base state (without showing [object Object]), and only displays the options when interacted with.

Conclusion

By ensuring the v-model is properly initialized, you can avoid the frustrating issue of seeing [object Object] in your q-select component when using async data in Vue Quasar. This small change creates a better user experience and helps maintain a clean UI from the moment the component is loaded.
