For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: An X in the trigger that empties a controlled framework pick, taking the chevron's place once a value is set

When to use

Form fields that pick one value from a short fixed list, such as a fruit, timezone, country or size
Pickers whose options carry a status dot, badge, avatar, flag, icon or one line description
Toolbar filters and property pickers, such as status, priority, access level or assignee

When not to use

A reset control paired with an up and down arrow while the field is empty: use the Select Custom Chevrons example
A long list the user wants to search by typing part of a name: use the Combobox component
A plain form field that should open the phone or browser's own picker: use the Native Select component
Options nested in levels, such as a category and then its subcategories: use the Cascader component

Agent notes

handleClear hangs on a div with a button role but no tab stop or key handler, so only a pointer can reset the pick
Pass alignItemWithTrigger false on the base twin or position popper on radix to open the list below the trigger, not over it
With no children, base SelectValue prints a string value raw unless Select gets items; radix SelectValue mirrors the chosen SelectItem
Base SelectItem can take a whole object as value, matched to defaultValue by reference; radix values must be non-empty strings
