@thisbeyond/solid-select

• Built for Solid: leverages fine-grained reactivity primitives for coordination.
• Flexible: built to support a wide range of cases, from single selects to multi-select autocomplete lists.
• Extendable: use the pre-fabricated components or build your own from the core primitives.
• Zero dependencies: Just pair with Solid and good to go.

How do I get started? 🧭

Install it:

npm install @thisbeyond/solid-select

Use it:

import { Select } from "@thisbeyond/solid-select";
import "@thisbeyond/solid-select/style.css";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <Select options={["apple", "banana", "pear", "pineapple", "kiwi"]} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

What's implemented? ✔️

• A high level Select component that can be configured with either a static or dynamic list of options.
• Support for single value selection or multiple value selection.
• createOptions helper for configuring filterable options based on input value (complete with match highlighting). Works with lists of plain strings or can be passed a 'key' to filter against lists of objects. Can also be used to configure creating new options on the fly.
• Opt-in sensible default styling. Customise easily or style from scratch.
• Composable building blocks to create your own control.
• Lower level createSelect primitive if you just want the core logic.

Why did you make it?

I've been part of the SolidJS community for a while now and one of the things I really like is the emphasis on trying things out and sharing them (https://hack.solidjs.com). The ecosystem is small which creates a lot of opportunity and a lower barrier to entry for sharing I find.

I published my first Solid library (https://solid-dnd.com) a short while back as a first dabble in sharing what I had learnt on a personal project. That went well so when I had to create a multi-select autocomplete control for another personal project I knew I'd be sharing that too - and so Solid Select came to be :)

Changelog

[0.7.1] - 2022-03-23

Fixed

• Fix import error (Failed to resolve import "virtual:windi.css") when using 'solid' export source in another SolidJS project that does not use WindiCSS. Strip the relevant import line post build as it is not needed in the distributed package (the styles are already compiled and available via import "@thisbeyond/solid-select/style.css";).
