# Components

{% hint style="info" %}
These are useful when defining app specific standard of the vSelect component. For a single use case scenarios [Slots ](/vue-select/slots.md)should be the easier and better approach.
{% endhint %}

Usually slots should be enough to customize the look and feel of the **vue-select** component but in some advanced scenarios one may need greater control over the behavior of internals. In such cases one  may replace any of the internal components through mixins. Seen an example in [Layout & Theming](/vue-select/layout-and-theming.md) section.

All the components may access the vSelect instance and all its data via `this.$parent`or `inject: ['select']`. Here is a list of the available components:

| Component | Props                          | Description                                                                                                        |
| --------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Option    | `option, index, state, select` | Displays an option in the dropdown                                                                                 |
| Selected  | `option, index, state, select` | Displays selected value. Used both in single and multiple mode.                                                    |
| Layout    |                                | Defines the overall structure of the select component. Check [Layout & Theming](/vue-select/layout-and-theming.md) |
