Disabled

Add the disabled prop to the NativeSelect component to disable the select.

import { NativeSelect, NativeSelectOption } from "@/components/ui/native-select"

export function NativeSelectDisabled() {
  return (
    <NativeSelect disabled>
      <NativeSelectOption value="">Disabled</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="apple">Apple</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="banana">Banana</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="blueberry">Blueberry</NativeSelectOption>
    </NativeSelect>
  )
}

Invalid

Use aria-invalid to show validation errors and the data-invalid attribute to the Field component for styling.

import { NativeSelect, NativeSelectOption } from "@/components/ui/native-select"

export function NativeSelectInvalid() {
  return (
    <NativeSelect aria-invalid="true">
      <NativeSelectOption value="">Error state</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="apple">Apple</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="banana">Banana</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="blueberry">Blueberry</NativeSelectOption>
    </NativeSelect>
  )
}

Native Select vs Select

  • Use NativeSelect for native browser behavior, better performance, or mobile-optimized dropdowns.
  • Use Select for custom styling, animations, or complex interactions.

RTL

To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the RTL configuration guide.

// This example sets dir and uses useTranslation because this site is not RTL.

// In an RTL app you won't need them; see the RTL guide.

import {
  type Translations,
  useTranslation,
} from "@/components/language-selector"
import { NativeSelect, NativeSelectOption } from "@/components/ui/native-select"

const translations: Translations = {
  en: {
    dir: "ltr",
    values: {
      placeholder: "Select status",
      todo: "Todo",
      inProgress: "In Progress",
      done: "Done",
      cancelled: "Cancelled",
    },
  },
  ar: {
    dir: "rtl",
    values: {
      placeholder: "اختر الحالة",
      todo: "مهام",
      inProgress: "قيد التنفيذ",
      done: "منجز",
      cancelled: "ملغي",
    },
  },
  he: {
    dir: "rtl",
    values: {
      placeholder: "בחר סטטוס",
      todo: "לעשות",
      inProgress: "בתהליך",
      done: "הושלם",
      cancelled: "בוטל",
    },
  },
}

export function NativeSelectRtl() {
  const { dir, t } = useTranslation(translations, "ar")

  return (
    <NativeSelect dir={dir}>
      <NativeSelectOption value="">{t.placeholder}</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="todo">{t.todo}</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="in-progress">
        {t.inProgress}
      </NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="done">{t.done}</NativeSelectOption>
      <NativeSelectOption value="cancelled">{t.cancelled}</NativeSelectOption>
