How to show list items with icons in Vue Dropdown List

03 Sep 20264 minutes to read

You can render icons in the list items by mapping the iconCss field. The iconCss field creates a span in the list item with the mapped class name to allow styling as per your need.

In the following sample, icon classes are mapped with the iconCss field.

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <div id='container' style="margin:50px auto 0; width:250px;">
      <br>
      <ejs-dropdownlist id='dropdownlist' :dataSource='sortFormatData' :fields='fields'
        placeholder='Select a format'></ejs-dropdownlist>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { DropDownListComponent as EjsDropdownlist } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";

const sortFormatData = [
        { Class: 'sort', Type: 'Sort A to Z', Id: '1' },
        { Class: 'filter', Type: 'Filter', Id: '2' },
        { Class: 'clear', Type: 'Clear', Id: '3' }
      ];
const fields = { text: 'Type', iconCss: 'Class', value: 'Id' };

</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";

.e-list-icon {
  line-height: 1.3;
  padding-right: 10px;
  text-indent: 5px;
}

.sort:before {
  content: '\e890';
  font-family: 'e-icons';
  font-size: 15px;

}

.filter:before {
  content: '\e7ee';
  font-family: 'e-icons';
  font-size: 15px;
  opacity: 0.78;
}
