For AI Agents

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

Best for: A Favorite Fruit label tied to the trigger by id, with a one sentence hint under the control

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 required choice that shows an error message under the control: use the Select Invalid 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

htmlFor on FieldLabel matches the trigger id; keep the pair unique when this field appears more than once on a page
FieldDescription is a plain paragraph the trigger never references; give it an id and point aria-describedby at it
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
