Events
Event Name | Callback | Description |
---|---|---|
change | { detail } | fires when the user selects an option |
input | { detail } | fires when the value has been changed |

loaded | { options } | fires when loadOptions resolves |
error | { type, details } | fires when error is caught |
filter | { detail } | fires when listOpen: true and items are filtered |
hoverItem | { detail } | fires when hoverItemIndex changes |
Items
items
can be simple arrays or collections.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
let simple = ['one', 'two', 'three'];
let collection = [
{ value: 1, label: 'one' },
{ value: 2, label: 'two' },
{ value: 3, label: 'three' },
];
</script>
<Select items={simple} />
<Select items={collection} />
They can also be grouped and include non-selectable items.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
const items = [
{value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate', group: 'Sweet'},
{value: 'pizza', label: 'Pizza', group: 'Savory'},
{value: 'cake', label: 'Cake', group: 'Sweet', selectable: false},
{value: 'chips', label: 'Chips', group: 'Savory'},
{value: 'ice-cream', label: 'Ice Cream', group: 'Sweet'}
];
const groupBy = (item) => item.group;
</script>
<Select {items} {groupBy} />
You can also use custom collections.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
const itemId = 'id';
const label = 'title';
const items = [
{id: 0, title: 'Foo'},
{id: 1, title: 'Bar'},
];
</script>
<Select {itemId} {label} {items} />
Async Items
To load items asynchronously then loadOptions
is the simplest solution. Supply a function that returns a Promise
that resolves with a list of items. loadOptions
has debounce baked in and fires each time filterText
is updated.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
import { someApiCall } from './services';
async function examplePromise(filterText) {
// Put your async code here...
// For example call an API using filterText as your search params
// When your API responds resolve your Promise
let res = await someApiCall(filterText);
return res;
}
</script>
<Select loadOptions={examplePromise} />
Advanced List Positioning / Floating
svelte-select
uses floating-ui to control the list floating. See their docs and pass in your config via the floatingConfig
prop.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
let floatingConfig = {
strategy: 'fixed'
}
</script>
<Select {floatingConfig} />
Exposed methods
These internal functions are exposed to override if needed. Look through the test file (test/src/index.js) for examples.
export let itemFilter = (label, filterText, option) => label.toLowerCase().includes(filterText.toLowerCase());
export let groupBy = undefined;
export let groupFilter = groups => groups;
export let createGroupHeaderItem = groupValue => {
return {
value: groupValue,
label: groupValue
};
};
export function handleClear() {
value = undefined;
listOpen = false;
dispatch("clear", value);
handleFocus();
}
export let loadOptions = undefined; // if used must return a Promise that updates 'items'
/* Return an object with { cancelled: true } to keep the loading state as active. */
export const getFilteredItems = () => {
return filteredItems;
};
export let debounce = (fn, wait = 1) => {
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(fn, wait);
};
Override core functionality at your own risk! See (get-items.js & filter.js)
// core replaceable methods...
<Select
filter={...}
getItems={...}
/>
A11y (Accessibility)
Override these methods to change the aria-context
and aria-selection
text.
export let ariaValues = (values) => {
return `Option ${values}, selected.`;
}
export let ariaListOpen = (label, count) => {
return `You are currently focused on option ${label}. There are ${count} results available.`;
}
export let ariaFocused = () => {
return `Select is focused, type to refine list, press down to open the menu.`;
}
CSS custom properties (variables)
You can style a component by overriding the available CSS custom properties.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
</script>
<Select --border-radius= "10px" --placeholder-color="blue" />
You can also use the inputStyles
prop to write in any override styles needed for the input.
<script>
import Select from 'svelte-select';
const items = ['One', 'Two', 'Three'];
</script>
<Select {items} inputStyles="box-sizing: border-box;"></Select>
🧪 Experimental: Replace styles (Tailwind, Bootstrap, Bulma etc)
If you'd like to supply your own styles use: import Select from 'svelte-select/no-styles/Select.svelte'
. Then somewhere in your code or build pipeline add your own. There is a tailwind stylesheet via import 'svelte-select/tailwind.css'
. It uses @extend
so PostCSS is required.
