+## Required
+
+If you need to ensure that a selection is made before a form is submitted, you can 
+use the `required` attribute in combination with the `search` scoped slot in order 
+to do so.
+
+However, the `search` input within the component does not actually store a value, so
+simply adding the `required` attribute won't work. Instead, we'll bind the attribute
+dynamically, so that it's only present if we don't have a selection.
+
+<ValidationRequired />
+
+```html
+<v-select :options="books" label="title" v-model="selected">
+  <template #search="{attributes, events}">
+    <input
+      class="vs__search"
+      :required="!selected"
+      v-bind="attributes"
+      v-on="events"
+    />
+  </template>
+</v-select>
+```
