- Use for searchable categorical selections such as techniques, products, commands, or tags.
- Use when a standard select menu would become difficult to scan or navigate.
Examples
Skateboarding trick picker
The complete example’s intended use case, with a searchable list of tricks and a visible selected-item checkmark.
skateboarding-trick-picker.tsx
"use client";import * as Combobox from "@diceui/combobox";const tricks = [ { label: "Kickflip", value: "kickflip" }, { label: "Heelflip", value: "heelflip" }, { label: "Tre Flip", value: "tre-flip" },];export function TrickPicker() { return ( <Combobox.ComboboxRoot> <Combobox.ComboboxLabel>Trick</Combobox.ComboboxLabel> <Combobox.ComboboxAnchor> <Combobox.ComboboxInput placeholder="Search trick..." /> <Combobox.ComboboxTrigger>⌄</Combobox.ComboboxTrigger> </Combobox.ComboboxAnchor> <Combobox.ComboboxPortal> <Combobox.ComboboxContent> <Combobox.ComboboxEmpty>No tricks found.</Combobox.ComboboxEmpty> {tricks.map((trick) => ( <Combobox.ComboboxItem key={trick.value} value={trick.value}> <Combobox.ComboboxItemIndicator>✓</Combobox.ComboboxItemIndicator> <Combobox.ComboboxItemText>{trick.label}</Combobox.ComboboxItemText> </Combobox.ComboboxItem> ))} </Combobox.ComboboxContent> </Combobox.ComboboxPortal> </Combobox.ComboboxRoot> );}Product search combobox
A searchable product selector using the same primitive composition and empty state.
product-search-combobox.tsx
"use client";import * as Combobox from "@diceui/combobox";const products = [ { label: "Skateboard deck", value: "skateboard-deck" }, { label: "Street wheels", value: "street-wheels" }, { label: "Truck set", value: "truck-set" },];export function ProductPicker() { return ( <Combobox.ComboboxRoot> <Combobox.ComboboxLabel>Product</Combobox.ComboboxLabel> <Combobox.ComboboxAnchor> <Combobox.ComboboxInput placeholder="Search product..." /> <Combobox.ComboboxTrigger>⌄</Combobox.ComboboxTrigger> </Combobox.ComboboxAnchor> <Combobox.ComboboxPortal> <Combobox.ComboboxContent> <Combobox.ComboboxEmpty>No products found.</Combobox.ComboboxEmpty> {products.map((product) => ( <Combobox.ComboboxItem key={product.value} value={product.value}> <Combobox.ComboboxItemIndicator>✓</Combobox.ComboboxItemIndicator> <Combobox.ComboboxItemText>{product.label}</Combobox.ComboboxItemText> </Combobox.ComboboxItem> ))} </Combobox.ComboboxContent> </Combobox.ComboboxPortal> </Combobox.ComboboxRoot> );}Accessibility
- The example renders a dedicated ComboboxLabel with the visible label “Trick”.
- The ComboboxInput provides a native text-entry target for searching and filtering options.
- ComboboxItem values are distinct and stable, allowing the combobox primitive to identify selections.
- The trigger is a separate interactive control for opening the option list; retain the provided focus and disabled styles when customizing it.
- The empty state communicates when no option matches the current search.
- Keep option labels meaningful and preserve visible focus/highlight styles for keyboard and assistive-technology users.
