        :items="selectItems.position"
        v-model="selectedPosition"            

        clear-icon="highlight_remove"  
        append-icon="unfold_more"
        append-outer-icon="unfold_more"
        @click:append-outer="openSelect"

@click:append-outer allows add a callback function but what i have do in openSelect to expand the item's list?

Answer 1

You should add a ref to your v-select element. And then use this ref into your openSelect function:

<template>
    <v-select
        ref="theSelect"

        :items="selectItems.position"
        v-model="selectedPosition"

        clear-icon="highlight_remove"
        append-icon="unfold_more"
        append-outer-icon="unfold_more"
        @click:append-outer="openSelect"
    />
</template>

<script>
    export default {
      methods: {
        openSelect () {
          this.$refs['theSelect'].onClick()
        }
      }
    }
</script>
