Examples

Basic

A select with a visible label. When you provide the label prop, the select automatically renders inside a Field wrapper with the label displayed above it.

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Basic Select with visible label - the recommended pattern. */
export function SelectBasicDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState("apple");

  return (
    <Select
      label="Favorite Fruit"
      className="w-[200px]"
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v ?? "apple")}
      items={{ apple: "Apple", banana: "Banana", cherry: "Cherry" }}
    />
  );
}

Without Visible Label

When a visible label isn’t needed (e.g., in compact UIs or when context is clear), use aria-label for accessibility.

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select without visible label - use aria-label for accessibility. */
export function SelectWithoutLabelDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState("apple");

  return (
    <Select
      aria-label="Select a fruit"
      className="w-[200px]"
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v ?? "apple")}
      items={{ apple: "Apple", banana: "Banana", cherry: "Cherry" }}
    />
  );
}

With Description and Error

Select integrates with the Field wrapper to show description text and validation errors.

Please select an issue type
 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select with label, description, and error handling. */
export function SelectWithFieldDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<string | null>(null);

  return (
    <Select
      label="Issue Type"
      description="Choose the category that best describes your issue"
      error={!value ? "Please select an issue type" : undefined}
      className="w-[280px]"
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as string | null)}
      items={{
        bug: "Bug",
        documentation: "Documentation",
        feature: "Feature",
      }}
    />
  );
}

Placeholder

Use the placeholder prop to show text when no value is selected.

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select with placeholder text when no value is selected. */
export function SelectPlaceholderDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<string | null>(null);

  return (
    <Select
      label="Category"
      placeholder="Choose a category..."
      className="w-[200px]"
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as string | null)}
      items={{
        bug: "Bug",
        documentation: "Documentation",
        feature: "Feature",
      }}
    />
  );
}

Label with Tooltip

Add a tooltip icon next to the label for additional context using labelTooltip.

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select with label tooltip for additional context. */
export function SelectWithTooltipDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<string | null>(null);

  return (
    <Select
      label="Priority"
      labelTooltip="Higher priority issues are addressed first"
      placeholder="Select priority"
      className="w-[200px]"
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as string | null)}
      items={{
        low: "Low",
        medium: "Medium",
        high: "High",
        critical: "Critical",
      }}
    />
  );
}

Custom Rendering

A select component that demonstrates custom rendering capabilities for both the trigger button and dropdown options, allowing you to work with complex object data structures instead of simple string values.

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select with custom rendering for complex option display. */
export function SelectCustomRenderingDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(languages[0]);

  return (
    <Select
      label="Language"
      className="w-[200px]"
      renderValue={(v) => (
        <span>
          {v.emoji} {v.label}
        </span>
      )}
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as (typeof languages)[0])}
    >
      {languages.map((language) => (
        <Select.Option key={language.value} value={language}>
          {language.emoji} {language.label}
        </Select.Option>
      ))}
    </Select>
  );
}

Select compares value with items to find which one is selected. For object items, it will compare if the object is the same reference not by value by default. If you want to compare object items by value, you can use isItemEqualToValue prop.

<Select
  className="w-[200px]"
  renderValue={(v) => (
    <span>
      {v.emoji} {v.label}
    </span>
  )}
  value={value}
  onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v)}
  // Provides custom comparison logic
  isItemEqualToValue={(item, value) => item.value === value.value}
>
  {languages.map((language) => (
    <Select.Option key={language.value} value={language}>
      {language.emoji} {language.label}
    </Select.Option>
  ))}
</Select>

Loading

A select component with loading state. The loading state is passed to the component via the loading prop.

Loading State

Loading From Server (simulated 2s delay)

import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select in loading state. */
export function SelectLoadingDemo() {
  return <Select aria-label="Loading select" className="w-[200px]" loading />;
}

Multiple Item

A select component with multiple selection enabled. The value is an array of selected items.

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Multi-select for choosing multiple values. */
export function SelectMultipleDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<string[]>(["Name", "Location", "Size"]);

  return (
    <Select
      label="Visible Columns"
      className="w-[250px]"
      multiple
      renderValue={(value) => {
        if (value.length > 3) {
          return (
            <span className="line-clamp-1">
              {value.slice(0, 2).join(", ") + ` and ${value.length - 2} more`}
            </span>
          );
        }
        return <span>{value.join(", ")}</span>;
      }}
      value={value}
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as string[])}
    >
      <Select.Option value="Name">Name</Select.Option>
      <Select.Option value="Location">Location</Select.Option>
      <Select.Option value="Size">Size</Select.Option>
      <Select.Option value="Read">Read</Select.Option>
      <Select.Option value="Write">Write</Select.Option>
      <Select.Option value="CreatedAt">Created At</Select.Option>
    </Select>
  );
}

More Example

Select the primary author for this document

 
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select, Text } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

/** Select with complex object values and custom option rendering. */
export function SelectComplexDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<(typeof authors)[0] | null>(null);

  return (
    <Select
      label="Author"
      description="Select the primary author for this document"
      className="w-[200px]"
      onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as (typeof authors)[0] | null)}
      value={value}
      isItemEqualToValue={(item, value) => item?.id === value?.id}
      renderValue={(author) => {
        return author?.name ?? "Select an author";
      }}
    >
      {authors.map((author) => (
        <Select.Option key={author.id} value={author}>
          <div className="flex w-[300px] items-center justify-between gap-2">
            <Text>{author.name}</Text>
            <Text variant="secondary">{author.title}</Text>
          </div>
        </Select.Option>
      ))}
    </Select>
  );
}
