## Installation

```bash
npm install svelte-select
```

## Svelte 5
I'm not currently using Svelte 5 in my day job or personal projects so might be a while before I tackle porting / upgrading to Svelte 5. Looking forward to it though, just need to find the time!

## Upgrading Svelte Select
See [migration guide](/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md) if upgrading

## Rollup and low/no-build setups

List position and floating is powered by `floating-ui`, see their [package-entry-points](https://github.com/floating-ui/floating-ui#package-entry-points) docs if you encounter build errors.

## Props

## Named slots

```svelte














```

## Events

| Event Name | Callback | Description |
| ---------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| change | { detail } | fires when the user selects an option |
| input | { detail } | fires when the value has been changed |
| focus | { detail } | fires when select > input on:focus |
| blur | { detail } | fires when select > input on:blur |
| clear | { detail } | fires when clear is invoked or item is removed (by user) from multi select |
| loaded | { options } | fires when `loadOptions` resolves |
| error | { type, details } | fires when error is caught |
| filter | { detail } | fires when `listOpen: true` and items are filtered |
| hoverItem | { detail } | fires when hoverItemIndex changes |

### Items

`items` can be simple arrays or collections.

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

let simple = ['one', 'two', 'three'];

let collection = [
{ value: 1, label: 'one' },
{ value: 2, label: 'two' },
{ value: 3, label: 'three' },
];

```

They can also be grouped and include non-selectable items.

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

const items = [
{value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate', group: 'Sweet'},
{value: 'pizza', label: 'Pizza', group: 'Savory'},
{value: 'cake', label: 'Cake', group: 'Sweet', selectable: false},
{value: 'chips', label: 'Chips', group: 'Savory'},
{value: 'ice-cream', label: 'Ice Cream', group: 'Sweet'}
];

const groupBy = (item) => item.group;

```

You can also use custom collections.

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

const itemId = 'id';
const label = 'title';

const items = [
{id: 0, title: 'Foo'},
{id: 1, title: 'Bar'},
];

```

### Async Items

To load items asynchronously then `loadOptions` is the simplest solution. Supply a function that returns a `Promise` that resolves with a list of items. `loadOptions` has debounce baked in and fires each time `filterText` is updated.

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

import { someApiCall } from './services';

async function examplePromise(filterText) {
// Put your async code here...
// For example call an API using filterText as your search params
// When your API responds resolve your Promise
let res = await someApiCall(filterText);
return res;
}

```

### Advanced List Positioning / Floating

`svelte-select` uses [floating-ui](https://floating-ui.com/) to control the list floating. See their docs and pass in your config via the `floatingConfig` prop.

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

let floatingConfig = {
strategy: 'fixed'
}

```

### Exposed methods
These internal functions are exposed to override if needed. Look through the test file (test/src/index.js) for examples.

```js
export let itemFilter = (label, filterText, option) => label.toLowerCase().includes(filterText.toLowerCase());
```

```js
export let groupBy = undefined;
```

```js
export let groupFilter = groups => groups;
```

```js
export let createGroupHeaderItem = groupValue => {
return {
value: groupValue,
label: groupValue
};
};
```

```js
export function handleClear() {
value = undefined;
listOpen = false;
dispatch("clear", value);
handleFocus();
}
```

```js
export let loadOptions = undefined; // if used must return a Promise that updates 'items'
/* Return an object with { cancelled: true } to keep the loading state as active. */
```

```js
export const getFilteredItems = () => {
return filteredItems;
};
```

```js
export let debounce = (fn, wait = 1) => {
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(fn, wait);
};
```

Override core functionality at your own risk! See ([get-items.js](/src/lib/get-items.js) & [filter.js](/src/lib/filter.js))

```js
// core replaceable methods...

```

## A11y (Accessibility)

Override these methods to change the `aria-context` and `aria-selection` text.

```js
export let ariaValues = (values) => {
return `Option ${values}, selected.`;
}

export let ariaListOpen = (label, count) => {
return `You are currently focused on option ${label}. There are ${count} results available.`;
}

export let ariaFocused = () => {
return `Select is focused, type to refine list, press down to open the menu.`;
}
```

## CSS custom properties (variables)

You can style a component by overriding [the available CSS custom properties](/docs/theming_variables.md).

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

```

You can also use the `inputStyles` prop to write in any override styles needed for the input.

```html

import Select from 'svelte-select';

const items = ['One', 'Two', 'Three'];

```

### ๐Ÿงช Experimental: Replace styles (Tailwind, Bootstrap, Bulma etc)
If you'd like to supply your own styles use: `import Select from 'svelte-select/no-styles/Select.svelte'`. Then somewhere in your code or build pipeline add your own. There is a tailwind stylesheet via `import 'svelte-select/tailwind.css'`. It uses `@extend` so PostCSS is required.
