Tailwind CSS Select

Use responsive select dropdown component with helper examples for select input, multi select, select box, search with select, select options, styling& more.

Basic example

The Select component is most useful for gathering information provided by the user from a list of options. Basic select component allows you to choose from a number of options.

  <select data-twe-select-init> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> <option value="6">Six</option> <option value="7">Seven</option> <option value="8">Eight</option> </select>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Hey there 👋 we're excited about TW elements and want to see it grow! If you enjoy it, help the project grow by sharing it with your peers. Every share counts, thank you!

Multiselect

Add multiple attribute to the select element to activate multiple mode.

Example label

  <select data-twe-select-init multiple> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> <option value="6">Six</option> <option value="7">Seven</option> <option value="8">Eight</option> </select> <label data-twe-select-label-ref>Example label</label>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Select with label

You can add select label by adding data-twe-select-label-ref attribute to the label element. Select and label should be wrapped in a container.

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Select with placeholder

Use data-twe-select-placeholder attribute to set placeholder for select input. The placeholder will be displayed when input is focused and no option is selected.

  <select data-twe-select-init data-twe-select-placeholder="Example placeholder" multiple> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> </select>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Due to a focus trap in modals, it is not possible to focus the outer elements (like select dropdown). You can use select data-twe-select-container option to resolve this problem.

The data-twe-select-container accepts selector of the element inside of wich select dropdown will be rendered. In this case, the selector should point to the modal container (the element with attribute data-twe-modal-init). It is important to use a unique selector to assign select to a specific modal.

  <!-- Button trigger modal --> <button type="button" class="inline-block rounded bg-primary px-6 pb-2 pt-2.5 text-xs font-medium uppercase leading-normal text-white shadow-primary-3 transition duration-150 ease-in-out hover:bg-primary-accent-300 hover:shadow-primary-2 focus:bg-primary-accent-300 focus:shadow-primary-2 focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-primary-600 active:shadow-primary-2 dark:shadow-black/30 dark:hover:shadow-dark-strong dark:focus:shadow-dark-strong dark:active:shadow-dark-strong" data-twe-toggle="modal" data-twe-target="#exampleModal" data-twe-ripple-init data-twe-ripple-color="light"> Launch demo modal </button> <!-- Modal --> <div data-twe-modal-init class="fixed left-0 top-0 z-[1055] hidden h-full w-full overflow-y-auto overflow-x-hidden outline-none" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div data-twe-modal-dialog-ref class="pointer-events-none relative w-auto translate-y-[-50px] opacity-0 transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out min-[576px]:mx-auto min-[576px]:mt-7 min-[576px]:max-w-[500px]"> <div class="pointer-events-auto relative flex w-full flex-col rounded-md border-none bg-white bg-clip-padding text-current shadow-4 outline-none dark:bg-surface-dark"> <div class="flex flex-shrink-0 items-center justify-between rounded-t-md border-b-2 border-neutral-100 p-4 dark:border-white/10"> <h5 class="text-xl font-medium leading-normal text-surface dark:text-white"> Modal title </h5> <button type="button" class="box-content rounded-none border-none text-neutral-500 hover:text-neutral-800 hover:no-underline focus:text-neutral-800 focus:opacity-100 focus:shadow-none focus:outline-none dark:text-neutral-400 dark:hover:text-neutral-300 dark:focus:text-neutral-300" data-twe-modal-dismiss aria-label="Close"> <span class="[&>svg]:h-6 [&>svg]:w-6"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="currentColor"> <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12" /> </svg> </span> </button> </div> <div class="relative flex-auto p-4" data-twe-modal-body-ref> <select data-twe-select-init data-twe-select-container="#exampleModal" data-twe-select-filter="true"> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> <option value="6">Six</option> <option value="7">Seven</option> <option value="8">Eight</option> <option value="9">Nine</option> <option value="10">Ten</option> </select> </div> <div class="flex flex-shrink-0 flex-wrap items-center justify-end rounded-b-md border-t-2 border-neutral-100 p-4 dark:border-white/10"> <button type="button" class="inline-block rounded bg-primary-100 px-6 pb-2 pt-2.5 text-xs font-medium uppercase leading-normal text-primary-700 transition duration-150 ease-in-out hover:bg-primary-accent-200 focus:bg-primary-accent-200 focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-primary-accent-200 dark:bg-primary-300 dark:hover:bg-primary-400 dark:focus:bg-primary-400 dark:active:bg-primary-400" data-twe-modal-dismiss data-twe-ripple-init data-twe-ripple-color="light"> Close </button> <button type="button" class="ms-1 inline-block rounded bg-primary px-6 pb-2 pt-2.5 text-xs font-medium uppercase leading-normal text-white shadow-primary-3 transition duration-150 ease-in-out hover:bg-primary-accent-300 hover:shadow-primary-2 focus:bg-primary-accent-300 focus:shadow-primary-2 focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-primary-600 active:shadow-primary-2 dark:shadow-black/30 dark:hover:shadow-dark-strong dark:focus:shadow-dark-strong dark:active:shadow-dark-strong" data-twe-ripple-init data-twe-ripple-color="light"> Save changes </button> </div> </div> </div> </div>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, Ripple, Modal, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select, Ripple, Modal });

Option groups

It is possible to group options by using optgroup element.

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Select with icons

Add data-twe-select-icon data attribute to the specific options to display the option icon.

  <select data-twe-select-init> <option value="1" data-twe-select-icon="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/Photos/Avatars/avatar-1.webp"> One </option> <option value="2" data-twe-select-icon="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/Photos/Avatars/avatar-2.webp"> Two </option> <option value="3" data-twe-select-icon="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/Photos/Avatars/avatar-3.webp"> Three </option> <option value="4" data-twe-select-icon="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/Photos/Avatars/avatar-4.webp"> Four </option> <option value="5" data-twe-select-icon="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/Photos/Avatars/avatar-5.webp"> Five </option> </select>

Set value

The setValue method allows to programatically set the component selections.

Single selection

Add single value string to the arguments list to correctly select option with corresponding value in single selection mode.

HTML
javascript
umd

ES UMD

  <select id="singleSelection" data-twe-select-init> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> </select>

  import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select }); const singleSelect = document.querySelector("#singleSelection"); const singleSelectInstance = Select.getInstance(singleSelect); singleSelectInstance.setValue("4");

  const singleSelect = document.querySelector("#singleSelection"); const singleSelectInstance = twe.Select.getInstance(singleSelect); singleSelectInstance.setValue("4");

Multi selection

Add array of string values to the arguments list to correctly select option with corresponding value in multi selection mode.

HTML
javascript
umd

ES UMD

  <select id="multiSelection" data-twe-select-init multiple> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> </select>

  import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select }); const multiSelect = document.querySelector("#multiSelection"); const multiSelectInstance = Select.getInstance(multiSelect); multiSelectInstance.setValue(["3", "4", "5"]);

  const multiSelect = document.querySelector("#multiSelection"); const multiSelectInstance = twe.Select.getInstance(multiSelect); multiSelectInstance.setValue(["3", "4", "5"]);

Select with toggle element

If you want to toggle Select via button, you have to add data-twe-select-toggle attribute to this button with ID of the Select element.

HTML
javascript
umd

ES UMD

  <select data-twe-select-init multiple id="mySelect"> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> </select> <button id="toggleMySelect" class="mt-4 inline-block rounded bg-primary px-6 pb-2 pt-2.5 text-xs font-medium uppercase leading-normal text-white shadow-primary-3 transition duration-150 ease-in-out hover:bg-primary-accent-300 hover:shadow-primary-2 focus:bg-primary-accent-300 focus:shadow-primary-2 focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-primary-600 active:shadow-primary-2 dark:shadow-black/30 dark:hover:shadow-dark-strong dark:focus:shadow-dark-strong dark:active:shadow-dark-strong" data-twe-select-toggle="mySelect"> Toggle Select </button>

  import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select }); const selectEl = document.getElementById("mySelect"); const select = Select.getInstance(selectEl); document.getElementById("toggleMySelect").onclick = function () { select.open(); };

  const selectEl = document.getElementById("mySelect"); const select = twe.Select.getInstance(selectEl); document.getElementById("toggleMySelect").onclick = function () { select.open(); };

Auto select

Set autoSelect option to data-twe-select-auto-select to enable selecting on Tab press.

  <select data-twe-select-init data-twe-select-auto-select="true"> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> <option value="6">Six</option> <option value="7">Seven</option> <option value="8">Eight</option> </select>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Hidden selected option

Add the first option with the hidden and selected attributes and an empty value to leave select with no selection.

Example label

  <select data-twe-select-init> <option value="" hidden selected></option> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> <option value="6">Six</option> <option value="7">Seven</option> <option value="8">Eight</option> </select> <label data-twe-select-label-ref>Example label</label>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Select with CSS classes

In order to use select with additional CSS classes you need to place it in the div wrapper and use CSS classes on that div.

Example label

  <div class="mb-3 shadow-xl xl:w-96"> <select data-twe-select-init> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> <option value="6">Six</option> <option value="7">Seven</option> <option value="8">Eight</option> </select> <label data-twe-select-label-ref>Example label</label> </div>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { Select, initTWE } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ Select });

Import

Importing components depends on how your application works. If you intend to use the TW elements ES format, you must first import the component and then initialize it with the initTWE method. If you are going to use the UMD format, just import the tw-elements package.

Usage

Via data attributes

Elements with the data-twe-select-init attribute will be automatically initialized - you can set all available options with data attributes. For ES format, you must first import and call the initTWE method.

HTML

  <select data-twe-select-init> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> <option value="5">Five</option> </select>

Via JavaScript

You can access an instance from your Javascript code, by using the getInstance static method of the Select class - it allows making use of all the public methods listed in the Methods section.

javascript
umd

ES UMD

  const singleSelect = document.querySelector("#singleSelection"); const singleSelectInstance = Select.getInstance(singleSelect); singleSelectInstance.setValue("4");

  const singleSelect = document.querySelector("#singleSelection"); const singleSelectInstance = twe.Select.getInstance(singleSelect); singleSelectInstance.setValue("4");
