Measured entry

shadcn-native-select

selectunclassified

A React and TypeScript wrapper around the browser's native select, plus pass-through option and optgroup components. It ships as shadcn registry source and uses Tailwind theme classes, the shared cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, and a decorative Lucide chevron.

BARE BUILD

Verdict

A sensible choice for straightforward forms because it preserves native select behavior and mounts without special context. The supplied demo has a critical accessible-name failure, so do not copy it unchanged: connect a label to the control or provide an explicit accessible name.

Use it if

  • You want native keyboard, touch, and platform menu behavior with styling that matches a shadcn interface.
  • You need simple option groups or standard form submission without a custom popover state model.
  • You can provide a real label or an explicit accessible name wherever the control is used.

Skip it if

  • You need searchable options, multiselect, rich option content, or fully custom menu interactions.
  • You require identical open-menu styling across browsers and operating systems.
  • Your team cannot guarantee accessible labeling at each call site, since the supplied demo leaves the select unnamed.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add React, Lucide React, Tailwind CSS, clsx, and tailwind-merge; create the cn class-merging helper; configure the referenced theme tokens and dark-mode styles; and replace the alias import if your project does not map it. Add an associated label or accessible-name attribute at every usage site.
