Default Composition

Select can take anything as a child, however, we strongly recommend that you use SelectOption. It has the same API as a ListCell, but with custom styles specific to usage within a Select. SelectOption also comes with a lot of baked in functionality, like keyboard navigation, accessibility properties, and focus behaviors.

function DefaultSelect() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState();
  const options = ['Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3', 'Option 4', 'Option 5', 'Option 6'];
  return (
    <VStack padding={2}>
      <OldSelect value={value} placeholder="Choose something..." onChange={setValue}>
        {options.map((option) => (
          <SelectOption value={option} key={option} title={option} description="Description" />
        ))}
      </OldSelect>
    </VStack>
  );
}

Value/Label Object Model

Sometimes you may want to surface a label instead of the select value. You can pass a valueLabel prop with the currently selected value's corresponding label, which will appear to be the value of the Select.

function DefaultSelect() {

  const options = [
    { value: '1', label: 'Option 1' },
    { value: '2', label: 'Option 2' },
    { value: '3', label: 'Option 3' },
    { value: '4', label: 'Option 4' },
  ];
  const selectedValueLabel = value && options.find((option) => option.value === value).label;
  return (
    <VStack padding={2}>
      <OldSelect
        value={value}
        valueLabel={selectedValueLabel}
        placeholder="Choose something..."
        onChange={setValue}
      >
        {options.map((option) => (
          <SelectOption
            value={option.value}
            key={option.value}
            title={option.label}
            description="Description"
          />
        ))}
      </OldSelect>
    </VStack>
  );
}

Input Stack Options

The Select trigger can be customized similar to TextInput. These options are also available for mobile implementations.

Label and Helper Text

When space is tight, this brings the label inside of the Input. Should be used with a compact SelectOption.

        ))}
      </OldSelect>
    </VStack>
  );
}

Variants can be used to surface positive or negative feedback.

        variant={value.toLowerCase()}
        label="Make a selection"
        helperText="You can only choose one"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      >
        {options.map((option) => (
          <SelectOption value={option} key={option} title={option} />
        ))}
      </OldSelect>
    </VStack>
  );
}

Label Variants

Select supports two label variants: outside (default) and inside. Note that the compact prop, when set to true, will override label variant preference.

󰣸

Warning

When using the inside label variant, you should always include a placeholder prop.
