Accessible, keyboard navigable, full-featured.
Installation
Select is already installed in tamagui
, or you can install it independently:
yarn add @tamagui/select
Anatomy
import { Select } from 'tamagui' // or '@tamagui/select'export default () => (<Select defaultValue=""><Select.Trigger><Select.Value placeholder="Search..." /></Select.Trigger><Select.Content><Select.ScrollUpButton /><Select.Viewport><Select.Group><Select.Label /><Select.Item><Select.ItemText /></Select.Item></Select.Group></Select.Viewport><Select.ScrollDownButton /></Select.Content></Select>)
Note that Select only works on Native using the Adapt component to adapt it to a Sheet. See below for docs.

Select.Trigger
Extends ListItem to give sizing, icons, and more.
Select.Value
Extends Paragraph, adding:
Props
placeholder
string
Optional placeholder to show when no value selected
SelectContent
Main container for Select content, used to contain the up/down arrows, no API beyond children.
Select.ScrollUpButton
Inside Content first, displays when you can scroll up, stuck to the top.
Extends YStack.
Select.ScrollDownButton
Inside Content last, displays when you can scroll down, stuck to the bottom.
Extends YStack.
Select.Viewport
Extends ThemeableStack. Contains scrollable content items as children.
Props
disableScroll
boolean
Removes ability to scroll and all style and functionality related to scrolling
unstyled
boolean
Removes all default styles
Make sure to not pass height
prop as that is managed internally because of
UX reasons and having a fixed height will break that behaviour
Select.Group
Extends YStack. Use only when grouping together items, alongside a Label as the first child.
Select.Label
Extends ListItem. Used to label Groups.
Select.Item
Extends ListItem. Used to add selectable values ot the list. Must provide an index as React Native doesn't give any escape hatch for us to configure that automatically.
Props
index (required)
number
Incrementally starting from 0, matching its appearance in the list.
value
string
Provide a value that will be passed on selection.
Select.ItemText
Extends Paragraph. Used inside Item to provide unselectable text that will show above once selected in the parent Select.
Select.Sheet
When used alongside <Adapt />
, Select will render as a sheet when that breakpoint is active.
This is the only way to render a Select on Native for now, as mobile apps tend to show Select very differently from web and Tamagui wants to present the right abstractions for each platform.
See Sheet for more props.
Must use Select.Adapt.Contents
inside the Select.Sheet.Frame
to insert the contents given to Select.Content
import { Select } from 'tamagui' // or '@tamagui/select'export default () => (<Select defaultValue=""><Select.Trigger><Select.Value placeholder="Search..." /></Select.Trigger><Adapt when="sm" platform="touch">{/* or <Select.Sheet> */}<Sheet><Sheet.Frame><Adapt.Contents /></Sheet.Frame><Sheet.Overlay /></Sheet></Adapt><Select.Content><Select.ScrollUpButton /><Select.Viewport><Select.Group><Select.Label /><Select.Item><Select.ItemText /></Select.Item></Select.Group></Select.Viewport><Select.ScrollDownButton /></Select.Content></Select>)
