Refs

The FormSelect component's native HTML <select> element can be accessed using a template ref combined with a ref. This allows you to call native select methods or set properties directly:

<template>
  <FormSelect ref="selectRef" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const selectRef = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  // Access the native select element
  const nativeSelect = selectRef.value.$refs.select.$el;
  
  // Use native select properties and methods
  nativeSelect.focus(); // Focus the select
});
</script>
