Usage
usage.tsx
import { Combobox, ComboboxAnchor, ComboboxContent, ComboboxInput, ComboboxItem, ComboboxTrigger,} from "@/components/ui/combobox";export function Example() { return ( <Combobox> <ComboboxAnchor> <ComboboxInput placeholder="Select a framework" /> <ComboboxTrigger /> </ComboboxAnchor> <ComboboxContent> <ComboboxItem value="react">React</ComboboxItem> <ComboboxItem value="vue">Vue</ComboboxItem> <ComboboxItem value="svelte">Svelte</ComboboxItem> </ComboboxContent> </Combobox> );}- Use for searchable selection from a list of known options.
- Use when options need grouping, loading, empty-result feedback, or custom popover content.
- Use the badge components when the combobox supports multiple selected values.
- Use for forms where a native select is insufficient but the interaction should remain keyboard accessible.
Examples
Grouped options
Organize related options with group labels and separators.
grouped-options.tsx
import { Combobox, ComboboxAnchor, ComboboxContent, ComboboxGroup, ComboboxGroupLabel, ComboboxInput, ComboboxItem, ComboboxSeparator, ComboboxTrigger,} from "@/components/ui/combobox";export function GroupedCombobox() { return ( <Combobox> <ComboboxAnchor> <ComboboxInput placeholder="Choose a city" /> <ComboboxTrigger /> </ComboboxAnchor> <ComboboxContent> <ComboboxGroup> <ComboboxGroupLabel>United States</ComboboxGroupLabel> <ComboboxItem value="new-york">New York</ComboboxItem> <ComboboxItem value="seattle">Seattle</ComboboxItem> </ComboboxGroup> <ComboboxSeparator /> <ComboboxGroup> <ComboboxGroupLabel>Canada</ComboboxGroupLabel> <ComboboxItem value="toronto">Toronto</ComboboxItem> <ComboboxItem value="vancouver">Vancouver</ComboboxItem> </ComboboxGroup> </ComboboxContent> </Combobox> );}Loading and empty states
Show asynchronous loading feedback and a no-results state.
loading-and-empty-states.tsx
import { Combobox, ComboboxAnchor, ComboboxContent, ComboboxEmpty, ComboboxInput, ComboboxLoading, ComboboxTrigger,} from "@/components/ui/combobox";export function AsyncCombobox({ loading }: { loading: boolean }) { return ( <Combobox> <ComboboxAnchor> <ComboboxInput placeholder="Search users" /> <ComboboxTrigger /> </ComboboxAnchor> <ComboboxContent> {loading ? <ComboboxLoading /> : <ComboboxEmpty>No users found.</ComboboxEmpty>} </ComboboxContent> </Combobox> );}Multiple selected values
Render selected values as removable badges inside the combobox.

Accessibility
- The component is built from `@diceui/combobox` primitives, so preserve the primitive composition and required relationships between the root, anchor, input, trigger, content, and items.
- Use `ComboboxLabel` for an accessible visible label rather than relying only on a placeholder.
- Keep meaningful `value` props on every `ComboboxItem` so selected and highlighted states can be communicated correctly.
- Do not remove the primitive trigger, input, item indicators, or focus styles when customizing the component.
- Ensure loading and empty states communicate asynchronous and no-result conditions without relying only on visual styling.
- The trigger, cancel control, badge delete controls, and option items receive their interaction and keyboard behavior from the underlying primitives.
