The most common use case for vue-select is to have the chosen value synced with a parent component. vue-select takes advantage of the v-model syntax to sync values with a parent
If you don't require the value to be synced, you can also pass the prop directly:
This method allows you to pre-select a value(s), without syncing any changes to the parent component. This is also very useful when using a state management tool, like Vuex
