How to Set an Option as Selected in Vue JS Nested v-for Based on Value

When dealing with multiple loops in Vue JS, particularly when using v-for, it can sometimes become tricky to manage data binding correctly. A common issue developers face is populating a dropdown menu (<select>) automatically based on previously selected values. In this guide, we'll explore a scenario where you can set an option as selected based on a value from a nested v-for loop.

The Scenario

Imagine you have a table displaying a list of reviews. Each review has an associated location, and you want to make sure that the correct location is selected in a dropdown for each review. Here's a simplified structure of what you're working with:

The Problem

The main issue arises in the way you're attempting to set the selected option in the dropdown. You're using the :selected directive to compare the location.id with review.reviewLocation, but the v-model for your <select> might be affecting the selected behavior.

Specific Concerns:

The v-model="reviewSelectedLocationName" directive is overriding your conditional logic for determining which option should be selected.

The :selected property is not the correct approach when working with v-model.

The Solution

To effectively manage the selected option in your dropdown, you should modify the approach as follows:

Steps to Implement the Solution

Refactor your Data:
Ensure each review has a property to hold the currently selected location.

Conclusion

Managing nested v-for loops in Vue JS can be challenging, especially when trying to synchronize state across elements. By incorporating a selectedLocation property for each review, you can easily bind your dropdown selections, ensuring that the correct options are shown as selected.

If you encounter similar issues in the future, remember that the v-model directive simplifies handling user input and state management, making it a powerful feature of Vue JS.

With these adjustments, your application should now correctly reflect the intended selection in your dropdown menus, streamlining the review editing process!
