<Group />
Extends YStack. Use only when grouping together items, alongside a Label as the first child.
<Label />
Extends ListItem. Used to label Groups.
<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.
<ItemText />
Extends Paragraph. Used inside Item to provide unselectable text that will show above once selected in the parent 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.SheetContents
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="maxMd" platform="touch">{/* or <Select.Sheet> */}<Sheet><Sheet.Frame><SheetContents /></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>)
