Component Name

The Select component is a component that allows users pick a value from predefined options.

Ideally, it should be used when there are more than 5 options, otherwise you might consider using a radio group instead.

Controlled Select

const ControlledSelectExample = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("")
  const handleChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    setValue(event.target.value)
  }

  return (
    <Select
      value={value}
      onChange={handleChange}
      placeholder="Controlled select"
    >
      <option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
      <option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
      <option value="Option 3">Option 3</option>
    </Select>
  )
}

Changing the icon in the Select

Pass the icon prop to change the arrow icon of the select component to a custom icon.

You also have access to the iconSize prop to change the size of the custom arrow icon.

const CustomSelectIconExample = () => {
  const SelectIcon = () => (
    <Icon viewBox="0 0 24 24">
      <path
        fill="currentColor"
        d="M20 12l-1.41-1.41L13 16.17V4h-2v12.17l-5.58-5.59L4 12l8 8 8-8z"
      />
    </Icon>
  )
  return <Select icon={SelectIcon} placeholder="Placeholder" size="md" />
}

Focus border color and error border color

Pass the focusBorderColor prop to change the border color of the select component in the focused state.

Pass the errorBorderColor prop to change the border color of the select component in the invalid state.

The value of these props can be set to a color in the theme object, or a raw CSS value.

<Stack>
  <Select focusBorderColor="lime" placeholder="Here is a sample placeholder" />

  <Select
    isInvalid
    errorBorderColor="crimson"
    placeholder="Here is a sample placeholder"
  />
</Stack>

Overriding the Select styles

Even though the select comes with predefined styles, you can override pretty much any property. Here's we'll override the background color.

<Select
  color="white"
  borderColor="tomato"
  backgroundColor="tomato"
  placeholder="Woohoo! A new background color!"
/>
