createGroup API

API reference for the createGroup composable.

Creates a new group instance with batch selection and tri-state support. Extends `createSelection` to support selecting, unselecting, and toggling multiple items at once by passing an array of IDs. Adds tri-state (mixed/indeterminate) support for checkbox trees and similar use cases.

createGroupContext

(_options?: GroupContextOptions) => ContextTrinity<R>

Creates a new group context.

useGroup

(namespace?: string) => R

Returns the current group instance.

Default: false

disabled

MaybeRefOrGetter<boolean>

When true, the entire selection instance is disabled.

MaybeRefOrGetter<boolean>

When true, newly registered items are automatically selected if not disabled. Useful for pre-selecting items in multi-select scenarios.

MaybeRefOrGetter<boolean | "force">

MaybeRefOrGetter<boolean>

When true, treats the selection as an array
