Installation

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Combobox, ComboboxInput } from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/combobox";<Combobox>  <ComboboxInput placeholder="Select trick..." /></Combobox>
  • When users need to choose one item from a searchable list.
  • When basic substring filtering is insufficient and results should match multiple fields with fuzzy ranking.
  • When option labels and internal values should both be searchable.
  • When a combobox needs a clear no-results state.

Examples

Custom-filtered trick selector

The complete demo with label, trigger, option list, controlled value, and fuzzy filtering.

custom-filtered-trick-selector.tsx
"use client";import { ChevronDown } from "lucide-react";import { matchSorter } from "match-sorter";import * as React from "react";import {  Combobox,  ComboboxAnchor,  ComboboxContent,  ComboboxEmpty,  ComboboxInput,  ComboboxItem,  ComboboxLabel,  ComboboxTrigger,} from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/combobox";const tricks = [  { label: "Kickflip", value: "kickflip" },  { label: "Heelflip", value: "heelflip" },  { label: "Tre Flip", value: "tre-flip" },];export default function TrickCombobox() {  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("");  function onFilter(options: string[], inputValue: string) {    const trickOptions = tricks.filter((trick) => options.includes(trick.value));    return matchSorter(trickOptions, inputValue, {      keys: ["label", "value"],      threshold: matchSorter.rankings.MATCHES,    }).map((trick) => trick.value);  }  return (    <Combobox value={value} onValueChange={setValue} onFilter={onFilter}>      <ComboboxLabel>Trick</ComboboxLabel>      <ComboboxAnchor>        <ComboboxInput placeholder="Select trick..." />        <ComboboxTrigger>          <ChevronDown className="h-4 w-4" />        </ComboboxTrigger>      </ComboboxAnchor>      <ComboboxContent>        <ComboboxEmpty>No tricks found.</ComboboxEmpty>        {tricks.map((trick) => (          <ComboboxItem key={trick.value} value={trick.value}>            {trick.label}          </ComboboxItem>        ))}      </ComboboxContent>    </Combobox>  );}

Controlled combobox wiring

A minimal controlled setup using the combobox value and change callback.

controlled-combobox-wiring.tsx
import * as React from "react";import {  Combobox,  ComboboxInput,} from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/combobox";export function ControlledTrickCombobox() {  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("");  return (    <Combobox value={value} onValueChange={setValue}>      <ComboboxInput placeholder="Select trick..." />    </Combobox>  );}

Custom empty state

A combobox content area with an explicit message for unmatched searches.

custom-empty-state.tsx
import {  Combobox,  ComboboxContent,  ComboboxEmpty,  ComboboxInput,} from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/combobox";export function EmptyStateCombobox() {  return (    <Combobox>      <ComboboxInput placeholder="Search tricks..." />      <ComboboxContent>        <ComboboxEmpty>No tricks found.</ComboboxEmpty>      </ComboboxContent>    </Combobox>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
propsnull—The `ComboboxCustomFilterDemo` example component accepts no props. Its internal selected value is controlled with React state.

Accessibility

  • Keep the visible `ComboboxLabel` so the input has an associated human-readable label; the placeholder should not be the only label.
  • Use descriptive visible text for every `ComboboxItem`; the demo pairs each stable value with a readable trick name.
  • Retain the explicit `ComboboxEmpty` message so users receive feedback when filtering returns no options.
  • The chevron is decorative in this example because it has no accessible text; the combobox input and trigger behavior are provided by the installed combobox component.
