Measured entry

hextaui-native-select

selectminimal-flat

A thin React wrapper around the browser's native select, option, and optgroup elements, with a custom chevron and forwarded ref. It ships as shadcn registry source rather than a standalone package and relies on Tailwind theme classes, a local cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, plus lucide-react.

Verdict

A sensible native control for forms already aligned with HextaUI or shadcn conventions, with clean semantics and no observed accessibility findings. It needs a shadcn-style setup to mount, and narrow layouts should constrain its width deliberately.

Use it if

  • You want native keyboard, form, and mobile picker behavior with styling that matches a shadcn-based interface.
  • You need ordinary single-choice fields with grouped options, disabled states, or validation styling.
  • You prefer a small source component that can be edited locally instead of adopting a headless select system.

Skip it if

  • You need search, multiple selection, async options, or rich content inside the menu.
  • You require identical menu rendering across browsers, since the opened list remains platform-native.
  • Your narrow layout cannot tolerate intrinsic select width or long option labels without local responsive overrides.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to recreate its theme tokens and utility wiring.

For a non-shadcn project, add lucide-react, clsx, and tailwind-merge; provide the cn helper and its import alias; configure Tailwind; and define the border, input, foreground, ring, primary, muted, and destructive theme tokens used by the classes.
