API#

useSelect<T>(
  props: AriaSelectOptions<T>,
  state: SelectState<T>,
  ref: RefObject<HTMLElement>
): SelectAria

Features#

A select can be built using the <select> and <option> HTML elements, but this is not possible to style consistently cross browser, especially the options. useSelect helps achieve accessible select components that can be styled as needed without compromising on high quality interactions.

Exposed to assistive technology as a button with a listbox popup using ARIA (combined with useListBox)
Support for selecting a single option
Support for disabled options
Support for sections
Labeling support for accessibility
Support for description and error message help text linked to the input via ARIA
Support for mouse, touch, and keyboard interactions
Tab stop focus management
Keyboard support for opening the listbox using the arrow keys, including automatically focusing the first or last item accordingly
Typeahead to allow selecting options by typing text, even without opening the listbox
Browser autofill integration via a hidden native <select> element
Support for mobile form navigation via software keyboard
Mobile screen reader listbox dismissal support

Anatomy#

A select consists of a label, a button which displays a selected value, and a listbox, displayed in a popup. Users can click, touch, or use the keyboard on the button to open the listbox popup. useSelect handles exposing the correct ARIA attributes for accessibility and handles the interactions for the select in its collapsed state. It should be combined with useListBox, which handles the implementation of the popup listbox.

useSelect also supports optional description and error message elements, which can be used to provide more context about the field, and any validation messages. These are linked with the input via the aria-describedby attribute.

useSelect returns props that you should spread onto the appropriate element:

Name	Type	Description
`labelProps`	`HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>`	Props for the label element.
`triggerProps`	`AriaButtonProps`	Props for the popup trigger element.
`valueProps`	`HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>`	Props for the element representing the selected value.
`menuProps`	`AriaListBoxOptions<unknown>`	Props for the popup.
`descriptionProps`	`HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>`	Props for the select's description element, if any.
`errorMessageProps`	`HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>`	Props for the select's error message element, if any.

State is managed by the useSelectState hook from @react-stately/select. The state object should be passed as an option to useSelect

If a select does not have a visible label, an aria-label or aria-labelledby prop must be passed instead to identify it to assistive technology.

State management#

useSelect requires knowledge of the options in the select in order to handle keyboard navigation and other interactions. It does this using the Collection interface, which is a generic interface to access sequential unique keyed data. You can implement this interface yourself, e.g. by using a prop to pass a list of item objects, but useSelectState from @react-stately/select implements a JSX based interface for building collections instead. See Collection Components for more information, and Collection Interface for internal details.

In addition, useSelectState manages the state necessary for multiple selection and exposes a SelectionManager, which makes use of the collection to provide an interface to update the selection state. It also holds state to track if the popup is open. For more information about selection, see Selection.

Example#

This example uses a <button> element for the trigger, with a <span> inside to hold the value, and another for the dropdown arrow icon (hidden from screen readers with aria-hidden). A <HiddenSelect> is used to render a hidden native <select>, which enables browser form autofill support.

The listbox popup uses useListBox and useOption to render the list of options. In addition, a <FocusScope> is used to automatically restore focus to the trigger when the popup closes. A hidden <DismissButton> is added at the start and end of the popup to allow screen reader users to dismiss the popup.

This example does not do any advanced popover positioning or portaling to escape its visual container. See useOverlayTrigger for an example of how to implement this using useOverlayPosition.

In addition, see useListBox for examples of sections (option groups), and more complex options. For an example of the description and error message elements, see useTextField.

The Popover component is used to contain the popup listbox for the Select. It can be shared between many other components, including ComboBox, Menu, Dialog, and others. See useOverlayTrigger for more examples of popovers.

Styled examples#

Tailwind CSS

An example of styling a Select with Tailwind.

Styled Components

A Select with complex item content built with Styled Components.

Internationalization#

useSelect and useListBox handle some aspects of internationalization automatically. For example, type to select is implemented with an Intl.Collator for internationalized string matching. You are responsible for localizing all labels and option content that is passed into the select.

RTL#

In right-to-left languages, the select should be mirrored. The arrow should be on the left, and the selected value should be on the right. In addition, the content of list options should flip. Ensure that your CSS accounts for this.

Name	Type	Default	Description
`children`	`CollectionChildren<T>`	—	The contents of the collection.
`keyboardDelegate`	`KeyboardDelegate`	—	An optional keyboard delegate implementation for type to select, to override the default.
`autoComplete`	`string`	—	Describes the type of autocomplete functionality the input should provide if any. See MDN.
`name`	`string`	—	The name of the input, used when submitting an HTML form.
`isOpen`	`boolean`	—	Sets the open state of the menu.
`defaultOpen`	`boolean`	—	Sets the default open state of the menu.
`onOpenChange`	`( (isOpen: boolean )) => void`	—	Method that is called when the open state of the menu changes.
