## Examples

`Select` builds off of the Menu component suite to wrap commonly used properties and functions for a select menu. See the [Menu documentation](/components/menus/menu) for a full list of properties that may be passed through `Select` to further customize the select menu, or the [custom menu examples](/components/menus/custom-menus) for additional examples of fully functional menus.
Select builds off of the menu component suite to adapt commonly used properties and functions to create a select menu. See the [menu documentation](/components/menus/menu) for a full list of properties that may be used to further customize a select menu. View the [custom menu examples](/components/menus/custom-menus) to see examples of fully functional select menus.

### Single
### Single select
To let users select a single item from a list, use a single select menu.

You can add multiple `<SelectOption>` components to build out a list of menu items. For each select option, pass a relevant option label to the `value` property.

To prevent a toggle click from opening a select list, use the `isDisabled` property. In the following example, select the checkbox to observe this behavior.

```ts file="./SelectBasic.tsx"

```

### Option variations
### Select option variants

The following example showcases different option variants and customizations that are commonly used in a select menu.

To create these variants, you can pass different properties into a `<SelectOption>` component.

This example provides examples of:

Showcases different option variants and customizations that are commonly used in a select menu. For a more complete list, see the [Menu documentation](/components/menus/menu).
- An option with a description, which is created by using the `description` property.
- An option with a link, which is created by passing a URL into the `to` property. For external links, use the `isExternalLink` property so that the option is styled with an outbound link icon.
- An option with an icon, which is created by using the `icon` property.
- An option that is disabled by using the `isDisabled` property.

```ts file="./SelectOptionVariations.tsx"

```

### Grouped single
### With grouped items
To group related select options together, use 1 or more `<SelectGroup>` components and title each group using the `label` property.

```ts file="./SelectGrouped.tsx"

```

### Checkbox
### Checkbox select
To let users select multiple list options via checkbox input, use a checkbox select.

To create a checkbox select, pass `hasCheckbox` into each `<SelectOption>` component. To indicate that an option is selected, use the `isSelected` property.

By default, the menu toggle will display a badge to indicate the number of items that a user has selected.

```ts file="./SelectCheckbox.tsx"

```

### Typeahead
Typeahead is a select variant that replaces the typical button toggle for opening the select menu with a text input and button toggle combo. As a user enters characters into the text input, the select menu will provide suggestions by filtering the select options.

To make a typeahead, pass `variant=typeahead` into the `<MenuToggle>` component and link an `onClick` function to the `<TextInputGroupMain>` component.

```ts file="./SelectTypeahead.tsx"

```

### Typeahead with create option
If a user enters a value into a typeahead select menu that does not exist, you can allow them to create an option of that value.

To enable the creation ability, pass `value='create'` into a `<SelectOption>` component. Additionally, you should pass a button with an `onClick` event into the `<TextInputGroupUtilities>` component to display the creation prompt after a user enters a new value. You can use the `placeholder` property to change the default text shown in the text input.

The following example outlines the code implementation required to create a working typeahead menu that allows for creation.

```ts file="./SelectTypeaheadCreatable.tsx"

```

### Multiple typeahead with chips
A multiple typeahead can be used to allow users to select multiple options from a list. Selected items appear as chips in the select toggle.

When more items than the allowed limit are selected, overflowing items will be hidden under a "more" button. The following example hides items after more than 3 are selected. To show hidden items, select the “more” button. Select "show less" to hide extra items again.

```ts file="./SelectMultiTypeahead.tsx"

```

### Multiple typeahead with create option

When a multiple typeahead offers users a create option, each item that a user creates will be selected. A chip will be placed in the select toggle for each item that is created and selected.

```ts file="./SelectMultiTypeaheadCreatable.tsx"

```

### Multiple typeahead with checkboxes
By default, a multiple typeahead select allows you to select multiple menu items, placing a checkmark beside selected items. Like basic checkbox select menus, you can add checkboxes to your menu items. This approach may be more accurate and comprehensive for menu scenarios, like filtering.

```ts file="./SelectMultiTypeaheadCheckbox.tsx"

```

### View more
### With view more

To reduce the processing load for long select lists, replace overflow items with a "View more" link at the bottom of the select menu.

You can adjust the number of items shown above the "View more" link as needed. The following example passes 3 items into this property.

```ts file="./SelectViewMore.tsx"

```

### Footer
### With a footer

You can add a `<MenuFooter>` component to a select menu to hold additional actions that users can take on menu items, through elements such as link buttons. A footer will be placed beneath a divider at the end of the select menu.


```ts file="./SelectFooter.tsx"

```
```
