Select

Info alert:Beta feature

This beta component is currently under review and is still open for further evolution. It is available for use in product. Beta components are considered for promotion on a quarterly basis. Please join in and give us your feedback or submit any questions on the PatternFly forum or via Slack. To learn more about the process, visit our about page or our Beta components page on GitHub.

Info alert:Templates

This page showcases templates for the select component. A template combines a component with logic that supports a specific use case, with a streamlined API that offers additional, limited customization.

Note: Templates live in their own package at @patternfly/react-templates!

For custom use cases, please see the select component suite from @patternfly/react-core.
