Select.
The reliability of native selection.
Live preview
import { Select } from "luminescent";
import "luminescent/style.css";
export function Example() {
return (
<Select label="Workspace" defaultValue="personal" name="workspace">
<option value="personal">Personal</option>
<option value="team">Team</option>
</Select>
);
}
Installation
npm install luminescent
Import luminescent/style.css once at your application root. The example above uses the same package implementation as Storybook.
Variants and states
Use the preview controls to explore the supported variants, sizes, disabled/loading states and reduced motion. Controls appear only where the component exposes the corresponding prop. Theme and glow apply to every component.
Controlled and uncontrolled state
State contract: value / defaultValue / onChange (native event). Omit the controlled prop to let the component own its initial state; supply a value and callback when your application owns it. Native uncontrolled fields and state-backed form controls participate in form reset. Controlled state must be reset by the application.
import { useState } from "react";
import { Select } from "luminescent";
export function ControlledExample() {
const [value, setValue] = useState("personal");
return (
<Select
label="Workspace"
value={value}
onChange={(event) => setValue(event.currentTarget.value)}
>
<option value="personal">Personal</option>
<option value="team">Team</option>
</Select>
);
}
API reference
Generated from the source TypeScript interfaces. Native attributes, className, style, aria-* and data-* also pass through to the documented element. Import SelectProps from the package for the full inherited contract.
| Prop | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
label | string | Optional unless marked required. |
description | string | Optional unless marked required. |
error | string | Optional unless marked required. |
size | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | Optional unless marked required. |
glowColor | GlowColor | Optional unless marked required. |
containerClassName | string | Optional unless marked required. |
Accessibility and keyboard
Native select retains platform keyboard interactions and form validation. Labels, description and error are linked. Size chooses visual dimensions; multiple selection is not supported.
Keep labels meaningful and test application-level contrast, focus order and screen-reader output. See the accessibility guide for composition requirements.
Theme customization
import { LuminescentProvider, Select } from "luminescent";
import "luminescent/style.css";
export function Example() {
return (
<LuminescentProvider theme="light" accent="violet" glow="subtle">
<Select label="Workspace" defaultValue="personal" name="workspace">
<option value="personal">Personal</option>
<option value="team">Team</option>
</Select>
</LuminescentProvider>
);
}
Switch between light and dark in the preview, or open the playground for a larger workspace. Custom CSS variables can override spacing, color, typography and effects.
