Examples

Learn how to use the Select component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example:

import { Portal } from '@ark-ui/react/portal'
import { Select, createListCollection } from '@ark-ui/react/select'
import { ChevronDownIcon } from 'lucide-react'

export const Basic = () => {
  const collection = createListCollection({ items: ['React', 'Solid', 'Vue'] })

  return (
    <Select.Root collection={collection}>
      <Select.Label>Framework</Select.Label>
      <Select.Control>
        <Select.Trigger>
          <Select.ValueText placeholder="Select a Framework" />
          <Select.Indicator>
            <ChevronDownIcon />
          </Select.Indicator>
        </Select.Trigger>
        <Select.ClearTrigger>Clear</Select.ClearTrigger>

Usage with a Form Library

See how to use the Select component with popular form libraries:

import { Select, createListCollection } from '@ark-ui/react/select'

  const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm<Inputs>()

  const onSubmit: SubmitHandler<Inputs> = (data) => window.alert(JSON.stringify(data))

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <Select.Root collection={collection}>

Using the Field Component

The Field component helps manage form-related state and accessibility attributes of a select. It includes handling ARIA labels, helper text, and error text to ensure proper accessibility.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { Select, createListCollection } from '@ark-ui/react/select'
import { ChevronDownIcon } from 'lucide-react'

export const WithField = (props: Field.RootProps) => {

Using the Root Provider

The RootProvider component provides a context for the select. It accepts the value of the useSelect hook. You can leverage it to access the component state and methods from outside the select.

  const select = useSelect({ collection: collection })

  return (
    <>
