How to detect clear button click event on v-select (vue-select)

Question

I am creating a dropdown menu in v-select and after selecting an option when clicking the clear button, I need to clear the dropdown menu and change the options array to the initial stage.

How to check if clear button(x) is clicked, I tried using on-change for getting the selected value and it works fine while @click etc. don't It works, please help me.

<template>
  <v-select
    v-model="selected"
    :reduce="(option) => option.id"
    :options="[
      { label: 'One', id: 1 },
      { label: 'Two', id: 2 },
    ]"
    @onChange="searchProduct"
    
  />
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      selected: 3,
    }
  },
 methods(){
  searchProduct(selected){
  console.log('selected value ',selected)
}

}
</script>

I was expecting some way to handle the dropdown clear event.

Since we don't have any explicit events yet, we can achieve this requirement by observing the v-model value.

watch: {
    selected(value) {
        if (!value) {
            // Your logic here
        }
    }
}

Live demonstration upon request :

Vue.component("v-select", VueSelect.VueSelect);

new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: {
    selected: 3
  },
  watch: {
    selected(value) {
      if (!value) {
        this.selected = 3;
      }
    }
  }
});
