Hello Vue developer, in this tutorial we are going to learn how to get value of the selected option in Vue.js.

With the help of @change event, we can do it easily. Let’s take a look an example:

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <span>Category:</span>
    <select @change="selectCategory($event)" class="form-control">
      <option>--- Select ---</option>
      <option value="1">Laravel</option>
      <option value="2">Vue</option>
      <option value="3">React</option>
      <option value="4">Angular</option>
    </select>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'App',
  methods: {
    selectCategory(event) {
      console.log(event.target.value);
    }
  }
}
</script>

The console output:

That’s it. Thanks for reading.
