Measured entry

shadcn-select

selectunclassified

A client-side React select assembled from Radix UI primitives and shipped as copied TypeScript source rather than a packaged widget. It uses Lucide icons, a local cn helper, Tailwind utility classes, and shadcn theme tokens for the trigger, portal menu, items, labels, separators, and scroll controls.

Verdict

A solid fit for an existing shadcn codebase, with useful composition and stable mounting across the tested layouts. It needs a shadcn-style setup and should not ship until the trigger has an explicit accessible name.

Use it if

  • You already use the shadcn styling conventions and want an editable Radix-based select.
  • You need grouped options, labels, separators, or scroll controls in a consistent menu.
  • You want keyboard and portal behavior supplied by Radix while retaining control of the source.

Skip it if

  • You need a drop-in package that works without Tailwind theme tokens and a local utility helper.
  • You want a native select for simple forms, browser autofill, or minimal client-side code.
  • You cannot remediate the unnamed trigger reported by the accessibility check before release.

In a non-shadcn project, add Radix UI and Lucide React, provide the cn class-merging helper, configure Tailwind with the referenced theme tokens and state animations, preserve client-component support, and give each trigger an accessible label.
