Pros of vue-multiselect

• More feature-rich, offering advanced functionalities like grouping, custom option rendering, and tagging
• Better out-of-the-box styling and customization options
• Actively maintained with frequent updates and bug fixes

Cons of vue-multiselect

• Slightly larger bundle size due to additional features
• Steeper learning curve for beginners due to more complex API

Code Comparison

vue-multiselect:

<template>
  <multiselect v-model="value" :options="options" :multiple="true" :close-on-select="false" placeholder="Pick some">
</template>

<script>
import Multiselect from 'vue-multiselect'

export default {
  components: { Multiselect },
  data () {
    return {
      value: [],
      options: ['List', 'of', 'options']
    }
  }
}
</script>

vue-select:

<template>
  <v-select multiple v-model="selected" :options="options"></v-select>
</template>

<script>
import vSelect from 'vue-select'

export default {
  components: { vSelect },
  data() {
    return {
      selected: [],
      options: ['List', 'of', 'options']
    }
  }
}
</script>

Both libraries offer similar basic functionality, but vue-multiselect provides more built-in features and customization options out of the box. vue-select, on the other hand, has a simpler API and may be easier for beginners to implement quickly.

Pros of Vue.Draggable

• Provides drag-and-drop functionality, allowing for interactive list reordering
• Integrates well with existing Vue.js applications and components
• Supports touch devices and various drag-and-drop use cases

Cons of Vue.Draggable

• More complex to set up and configure compared to vue-select
• May have a steeper learning curve for developers new to drag-and-drop functionality
• Limited to list manipulation, whereas vue-select focuses on dropdown selection

Code Comparison

Vue.Draggable:

<draggable v-model="myArray" group="people" @start="drag=true" @end="drag=false">
  <div v-for="element in myArray" :key="element.id">{{ element.name }}</div>
</draggable>

vue-select:

<v-select v-model="selected" :options="options"></v-select>

Vue.Draggable is designed for creating draggable and sortable lists, while vue-select is focused on providing a flexible and customizable select input component. Vue.Draggable requires more setup but offers advanced list manipulation features, whereas vue-select is simpler to implement but limited to dropdown functionality. The choice between these two depends on the specific requirements of your project and the desired user interaction.

Pros of Keen-UI

• Offers a comprehensive set of UI components beyond just select inputs
• Provides a consistent design language across all components
• Includes accessibility features out-of-the-box

Cons of Keen-UI

• Larger bundle size due to the full component library
• May require more setup and configuration for individual components
• Less focused on select functionality compared to vue-select

Code Comparison

Keen-UI select component usage:

<ui-select
  v-model="selectedValue"
  :options="options"
  label="Select an option"
></ui-select>

vue-select component usage:

<v-select
  v-model="selectedValue"
  :options="options"
  label="Select an option"
></v-select>

Both libraries offer similar basic usage for select components, with slight differences in component naming conventions. Keen-UI uses the ui-select prefix, while vue-select uses v-select.

Keen-UI provides a more extensive set of UI components, making it suitable for projects requiring a complete UI framework. However, this comes at the cost of a larger bundle size and potentially more complex setup.

vue-select, on the other hand, focuses specifically on select functionality, offering a lighter-weight solution for projects that only need a robust select component. It may be easier to integrate into existing projects without introducing unnecessary dependencies.
