Usage

usage.tsx
import { Listbox, ListboxItem } from "@/components/ui/listbox";<Listbox aria-label="Choose a plan">  <ListboxItem value="starter">Starter</ListboxItem>  <ListboxItem value="pro">Pro</ListboxItem></Listbox>
  • Use for choosing one or more options from a visible collection of items.
  • Use when options benefit from semantic grouping with group labels.
  • Use for keyboard-accessible menus or selection surfaces that need highlighted and disabled states.
  • Use horizontal orientation when the listbox is arranged as a row of choices.

Examples

Grouped options

Organize related choices with visible group labels.

grouped-options.tsx
import {  Listbox,  ListboxGroup,  ListboxGroupLabel,  ListboxItem,} from "@/components/ui/listbox";<Listbox aria-label="Choose a framework">  <ListboxGroup>    <ListboxGroupLabel>Frontend</ListboxGroupLabel>    <ListboxItem value="react">React</ListboxItem>    <ListboxItem value="vue">Vue</ListboxItem>  </ListboxGroup>  <ListboxGroup>    <ListboxGroupLabel>Backend</ListboxGroupLabel>    <ListboxItem value="node">Node.js</ListboxItem>  </ListboxGroup></Listbox>

Custom selection indicator

Render the provided indicator inside an item to show the selected state.

custom-selection-indicator.tsx
import {  Listbox,  ListboxItem,  ListboxItemIndicator,} from "@/components/ui/listbox";<Listbox aria-label="Choose a notification level">  <ListboxItem value="all">    <span>All notifications</span>    <ListboxItemIndicator />  </ListboxItem>  <ListboxItem value="mentions">    <span>Mentions only</span>    <ListboxItemIndicator />  </ListboxItem></Listbox>

Disabled option

Disable an option while preserving the listbox structure and styling.

disabled-option.tsx
import { Listbox, ListboxItem } from "@/components/ui/listbox";<Listbox aria-label="Choose a workspace">  <ListboxItem value="personal">Personal</ListboxItem>  <ListboxItem value="team" disabled>    Team workspace  </ListboxItem></Listbox>

Horizontal listbox

Arrange listbox items in a horizontal row.

horizontal-listbox.tsx
import { Listbox, ListboxItem } from "@/components/ui/listbox";<Listbox orientation="horizontal" aria-label="Choose a view">  <ListboxItem value="grid">Grid</ListboxItem>  <ListboxItem value="list">List</ListboxItem></Listbox>

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
ListboxReact.ComponentProps<typeof ListboxPrimitive.Root>—All props supported by `@diceui/listbox`'s `Root`, plus the wrapper's `className` styling override. The wrapper defaults `orientation` to `"vertical"` and passes it to the primitive.
Listbox.classNamestring—Additional classes merged with the root listbox classes using `cn`.
Listbox.orientationReact.ComponentProps<typeof ListboxPrimitive.Root>["orientation"]"vertical"Controls the listbox orientation. The wrapper applies column layout and group column layout when the value is `"vertical"`.
ListboxGroupReact.ComponentProps<typeof ListboxPrimitive.Group>—All props supported by `@diceui/listbox`'s `Group`, plus the wrapper's `className` styling override.
ListboxGroup.classNamestring—Additional classes merged with the group classes.
ListboxGroupLabelReact.ComponentProps<typeof ListboxPrimitive.GroupLabel>—All props supported by `@diceui/listbox`'s `GroupLabel`, plus the wrapper's `className` styling override.
ListboxGroupLabel.classNamestring—Additional classes merged with the group-label classes.
ListboxItemReact.ComponentProps<typeof ListboxPrimitive.Item>—All props supported by `@diceui/listbox`'s `Item`, plus the wrapper's `className` styling override.
ListboxItem.classNamestring—Additional classes merged with the item classes.
ListboxItemIndicatorReact.ComponentProps<typeof ListboxPrimitive.ItemIndicator>—All props supported by `@diceui/listbox`'s `ItemIndicator`. The component renders the primitive indicator with a check icon using `IconPlaceholder`.

Accessibility

  • Provide an accessible name for the root with `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` when no visible label is available.
  • Use the primitive's item props and selection behavior rather than replacing the item with non-semantic clickable elements.
  • Keep visible group labels meaningful; use `ListboxGroupLabel` for grouped options.
  • Do not rely only on the check icon to communicate selection; ensure the primitive's selection semantics and accessible state are preserved.
  • Disabled items receive `pointer-events: none` and reduced opacity from the wrapper styling; confirm that disabled options are also exposed correctly by the underlying primitive.
