Combobox

A combobox chooses values from a list of items, one or, with multiple, several: the tags of a post, the members of a channel, the languages of a document. Its trigger is an input: typing opens the list and filters it, as shadcn/ui’s combobox does. It is Select’s sibling and shares its list, presented as each device expects:

// Two comboboxes in a card: labels for an issue, several picked in one go
// from a searchable list with sections, a clear button and a footer; and
// an assignee, one person replacing the last. The trigger is the
// field: the input typing filters the list with, and a chevron that
// turns while the list is open; the list is a popup at the trigger with a pointer, a sheet
// on a touch screen. Selected rows show a check in its own lane.

On the desktops and in desktop browsers, a popup under the field, as wide as the field (the app’s popupStyle / popupClass width sets another) and as tall as its rows up to the room beside it.
On phones and tablets, a sheet at the bottom of the screen over a backdrop.

The combobox owns the behavior: the value (the app’s, or its own), the open state, the keyboard, search, sections, the highlighted row and what screen readers hear. With multiple, a choice toggles the item in the value and the list stays open, so several are picked in one go. The look is the app’s: it styles the field, the popup, the list, the rows, the sections’ headers, the input and the footer, or draws the rows itself.

Combobox comes from nsh/base, the nsh-base crate in Rust. In Rust, combobox() makes one with a setter per prop (.items(..), .value(..), .multiple(..)) and a listener per event (.on_change(..)). Its items are Select’s: SelectItem::new(value, title), with .disabled(..) and .group(..), in sections as a select’s are (see Items).

#Value

The value is an array of the selected items’ values. With value, the app owns it: the combobox shows those items as selected and reports each change with onChange({ value }); the app sets value to follow it, or keeps its own. Left out, the combobox keeps its own value, from defaultValue at first.

With multiple, a press, Return or Space toggles the highlighted item: in the value if it was out, out if it was in. The list stays open.
Without it, a choice replaces the value with that item’s and closes the list; choosing the selected item again only closes it.

onConfirm({ value }) tells the value as the list closes: once per opening, however it closes (a choice, Escape, a press outside, the trigger button), with the value as the user left it. Cmd+Return on a Mac (Ctrl+Return elsewhere) closes the list and confirms.

cleanable adds a clear button while an item is selected: a press empties the value (onChange({ value: [] })). The button comes after the input, before the trigger button; a press on it never opens the list. The app fills it, as a select’s clear button.

#Input

The trigger is a text input in the combobox’s row (its class and style: the field’s border and fill), with the app’s prefix before it (the chosen items as chips, an icon) and, after it, the clear button, the app’s triggerButton (a chevron) and suffix.

Typing opens the list and filters the items by title, ignoring case; empty shows while nothing matches. Down and Up open it too, a press on the trigger button opens and closes it, and on touch screens a tap on the input opens it.
With one value, the input shows the chosen item’s title (placeholder while there is none). It is selected when the input gets the focus, so what is typed replaces it.
With multiple, the input shows the query; the app shows the chosen items, in prefix or beside the combobox.

The query is the combobox’s own, starting each opening from defaultQuery (else empty), or the app’s with query: onQueryChange({ query }) reports what is typed, and the app sets query to follow it, to filter its own way or to suggest a starting point.

footer is content below the rows, in a part of its own (footerClass, footerStyle): an action (“Manage tags”), a count, a hint. It stays in place while the rows scroll.

#Props

`value`	`.value(..)`	`string[]`	none	The selected items’ values, owned by the app.
`defaultValue`	`.default_value(..)`	`string[]`	`[]`	The value at first, without `value`.
`open`, `defaultOpen`	`.open(..)`, `.default_open(..)`	`boolean`	`false`	The open state, the app’s or the combobox’s own.
`placeholder`	`.placeholder(..)`	`string`	none	The input’s placeholder, while it is empty.
`query`	`.query(..)`	`string`	none	The query, owned by the app.
`defaultQuery`	`.default_query(..)`	`string`	none	The query each opening starts with, without `query`.
`cleanable`	`.cleanable(..)`	`boolean`	`false`	A clear button while an item is selected; a press empties the value.
`disabled`	`.disabled(..)`	`boolean`	`false`	It stays closed and takes no presses or keyboard focus.
`accessibilityLabel`	`.accessibility_label(..)`	`string`	none	What the choice is about, for screen readers.
`placement`, `align`, `offset`, `margin`	`.placement(..)`, …	as `Select`’s	`"bottom"`, `"start"`, 0, 0	Desktops: where the popup goes against the field.
`popupClass`, `popupStyle`	`.popup_class(..)`, `.popup_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	The popup (desktops) or the sheet (touch screens).
`backdropClass`, `backdropStyle`	`.backdrop_class(..)`, `.backdrop_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	The backdrop behind the sheet.
`listClass`, `listStyle`	`.list_class(..)`, `.list_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	The list, the scroll view of the rows.
`itemClass`, `itemStyle`	`.item_class(..)`, `.item_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<TextStyle>`	none	Each item’s row: `focus:` while highlighted, `selected:` while selected, `disabled:` while it cannot be.
`groupClass`, `groupStyle`	`.group_class(..)`, `.group_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	Each section’s header.
`inputClass`, `inputStyle`	`.input_class(..)`, `.input_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<InputStyle>`	none	The input: `focus:` while it edits, `disabled:` with the combobox.
`footerClass`, `footerStyle`	`.footer_class(..)`, `.footer_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	The footer, below the rows.
`clearButtonClass`, `clearButtonStyle`	`.clear_button_class(..)`, `.clear_button_style(..)`	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	The clear button (`cleanable`).
`clearButton`	`.clear_button(..)`	`JSX.Element`	none	The content of the clear button.
`clearButtonAccessibilityLabel`	`.clear_button_accessibility_label(..)`	`string`	none	What screen readers call the clear button.
`triggerButton`	`.trigger_button(..)`	`JSX.Element`	none	A button after the input (a chevron): a press opens and closes the list.
`prefix`	`.prefix(..)`	`JSX.Element`	none	Content before the input: chips, an icon.
`suffix`	`.suffix(..)`	`JSX.Element`	none	Content after the trigger button.
`empty`	`.empty(..)`	`JSX.Element`	none	What the list shows while no item does.
`footer`	`.footer(..)`	`JSX.Element`	none	What shows below the rows.
`renderItem`	`.render_item(..)`	`(item: SelectEntry) => JSX.Element`	none	An item’s row, drawn by the app from what the item is, never its state: the content follows the row’s `group-focus:`, `group-selected:` and `group-disabled:` (`group` in `itemClass`), so a move of the highlight or a toggle draws nothing again; the item’s title otherwise.
`renderGroup`	`.render_group(..)`	`(group: SelectGroup) => JSX.Element`	none	A section’s header, drawn by the app; its title otherwise.
`class`, `style`	style methods	`string`, `StyleProp<ViewStyle>`	none	The field: the row of the prefix, the input, the buttons and the suffix; the list is as wide as it.

#Events

Event	Rust	Description
`onChange`	`.on_change(\|value\| ..)`	The value changed (a choice, a toggle, the clear button): `{ value }`, the selected items’ values. Set `value` to follow it.
`onConfirm`	`.on_confirm(\|value\| ..)`	The list closed: `{ value }` as it is then, once per opening.
`onQueryChange`	`.on_query_change(\|query\| ..)`	The user typed in the input: `{ query }`. Set `query` to follow it.
`onOpenChange`	`.on_open_change(\|e\| ..)`	The list opened or closed, with why (`{ open, reason }`). Set `open` to follow it.
`onOpen`, `onClose`	`.on_open(..)`, `.on_close(..)`	The list is shown, or gone.
`onCancel`	`.on_cancel(..)`	The user closed the list without a choice that closes it (Escape or back, a press outside or on the backdrop).

They come in this order: onChange for a choice, or onCancel for a close without one, then onOpenChange, then onConfirm as the list closes, then onOpen or onClose once the list is shown or gone.

#Parts

Part	Where	Styled with
The field	the combobox’s view, a row	`class`, `style`
The prefix	the field, first	the app’s own element (`prefix`)
The input	the field, after the prefix	`inputClass`, `inputStyle`, `placeholder`
The clear button	the field, after the input (`cleanable`, while an item is selected)	`clearButtonClass`, `clearButtonStyle`; its content `clearButton`
The trigger button	the field, after the clear button	the app’s own element (`triggerButton`)
The suffix	the field, last	the app’s own element (`suffix`)
The popup or sheet	over everything, under the field (desktops) or at the bottom (touch screens)	`popupClass`, `popupStyle`
The backdrop	behind the sheet (touch screens)	`backdropClass`, `backdropStyle`
The list	the popup	`listClass`, `listStyle`
A section’s header	the list, before its items	`groupClass`, `groupStyle`, `renderGroup`
An item’s row	the list	`itemClass`, `itemStyle`, `renderItem` (`group-focus:`, `group-selected:`, `group-disabled:` inside, under `group` in `itemClass`)
The empty state	the popup, while no item shows	its own element (`empty`)
The footer	the popup, last	`footerClass`, `footerStyle`; its content `footer`

#Keyboard

The keys are a select’s (see Keyboard) while the input keeps the focus, with these differences: letters and digits are typed into the input, which filters the list, rather than typeahead; Down and Up open the closed list; Return toggles the highlighted item with multiple and keeps the list open; Cmd+Return on a Mac (Ctrl+Return elsewhere) closes it and confirms. When the list closes on the desktops, the input keeps the focus.
