What is the current behavior?

External change of v-model's value doesn't affect suggestion list

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem

https://jsfiddle.net/sw09184z/2/

• focus input
• press v key on the keyboard
• select Vue.js option
• press "Clear form" button
• focus input again

Only Vue.js suggestion is visible for empty input now

What is the expected behavior?

VSS should recalculate suggestion list and show all three suggestions when focusing empty input

How are you importing Vue-simple-suggest?

Importing method does not affect this bug

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Developers should have a possibility to change v-model value programmatically outside of VSS, e.g. clearing form fields after form submission to prepare for new data

Please tell us about your environment:

• Vue.js Version: 2.6.10
• Vue-simple-suggest version: 1.9.6
• Browser: all
• Language: all

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. stackoverflow, gitter, etc)

I think, to fix it we should watch value change, and if it is not same as inner text we can assume it changed externally so we should call recalculate suggestion list based on the new value

Is there a possibility this could be fixed in #182?

I don't think so, for now, on v-model's value change, VSS only set new text and nothing more

Hmm, I guess you're right.
We gotta do something about it. Like check if the value differs and >= minLength - > update suggestions.
