PickList requires a multidimensional array as its value bound with the v-model directive and a template for its content that gets the item instance and the index via slotProps.
<PickList v-model="cars" dataKey="vin">
<template #item="slotProps">
<div class="p-caritem">
<img :src="'images/car/' + slotProps.item.brand + '.png'">
<div>
<span class="p-caritem-vin">{{slotProps.item.vin}}</span>
<span>{{slotProps.item.year}} - {{slotProps.item.color}}</span>
</div>
</div>
</template>
</PickList>
In addition to the mandatory "item" template, picklist provides "sourceheader" and "targetheader" slots to define content at header sections. Similarly custom content can be placed before and after the button controls for each section can be templates. View the slots section for more information.
<PickList v-model="cars" dataKey="vin">
<template #sourceheader>
Available
</template>
<template #targetheader>
Selected
</template>
<template #item="slotProps">
<div class="p-caritem">
<img :src="'images/car/' + slotProps.item.brand + '.png'">
<div>
<span class="p-caritem-vin">{{slotProps.item.vin}}</span>
<span>{{slotProps.item.year}} - {{slotProps.item.color}}</span>
</div>
</div>
</template>
</PickList>
In case you need to access the selected items in the list, define a binding to the selection property with the v-model directive so that it gets updated when the user makes a selection. Since it is two-way binding enabled, your changes to the selection will be reflected as well. Note that this is optional and only necessary when you need to access the selection.
<PickList v-model="cars" dataKey="vin" v-model:selection="selection">
<template #item="slotProps">
<div class="p-caritem">
<img :src="'images/car/' + slotProps.item.brand + '.png'">
<div>
<span class="p-caritem-vin">{{slotProps.item.vin}}</span>
<span>{{slotProps.item.year}} - {{slotProps.item.color}}</span>
</div>
</div>
</template>
</PickList>
