How can I disable literal values in Vuetify?

Question

I am having problems when using the "item-disabled" prop on the v-select component from vuetify. I am trying to use this with literal options.

Here is the snippet which reproduces the issue:

In this example I would like to disable the option "Buzz".

<v-select :items="items" :item-disabled="disabledItems"></v-select>
...
items: ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Fizz', 'Buzz'],
disabledItems: ['Buzz'],

I do realize that I could use the non-literal key-value pair like in this example: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/joyoaj and it would work. But I would prefer to not have to write a wrapper component to convert literal options to key-value just to work around this.

<v-select :items="items"></v-select>
...
items: [
  {text: 'Foo', value: 'Foo'}, 
  {text: 'Bar', value: 'Bar'}, 
  {text: 'Fizz', value: 'Fizz'}, 
  {text: 'Buzz', value: 'Buzz', disabled: true},
],

Does anyone know how to get disabling literal values working?

You cant do it like that because item-disabled property is actually for something else.

From docs:

item-disabled
Default: disabled
Type: string | array | function

Set property of items's disabled value

So item-disabled just specifies which field on the objects will be treated as "disabled-field". By default, that field is disabled.

Without item-disabled you would have objects like this:

items: [
  {text: 'Foo', value: 'Foo'}, 
  {text: 'Buzz', value: 'Buzz', disabled: true},
],

And if objects have some other "disabled-property" (e.g. customDisabled) then use item-disabled prop like this:

 <v-select :items="items" item-disabled="customDisabled"

// ...
items: [
  {text: 'Foo', value: 'Foo'}, 
  {text: 'Buzz', value: 'Buzz', customDisabled: true},
],

Codepen

If you need to preserve your arrays of strings then you could just map items to the array of objects and pass it:

<v-select :items="computedItems"
// ...
data: () => ({
  items: ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Fizz', 'Buzz'],
  disabledItems: ['Buzz'],
}), 
computed: {
  computedItems() {
    return this.items.map(item => {
      return {
        text: item, 
        disabled: this.disabledItems.includes(item)
      }
    })
  }
}

Additionally, you can pass array to reach desired depth if your disabled field is nested, for example:

:item-disabled="['meta', 'disabled']"
// ...
{
  text: item, 
  meta: {
    disabled: true 
  }
}
