+# SelectField
+
+SelectField allows users to select one option from a set.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+To implement the SelectField component, you need to import it first:
+
+```js
+import { SelectField } from '@react-ui-org/react-ui';
+```
+
+And use it:
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  return (
+    <SelectField
+      label="Your favourite fruit"
+      onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+      options={[
+        {
+          label: 'Apple',
+          value: 'apple',
+        },
+        {
+          label: 'Banana',
+          value: 'banana',
+        },
+        {
+          label: 'Grapefruit',
+          value: 'grapefruit',
+        },
+      ]}
+      value={fruit}
+    />
+  );
+});
+```
+
+See [API](#api) for all available options.
+
+## General Guidelines
+
+- Use SelectField for **many options**. For sets of just a few options
+  (say 3 at maximum) consider using the [Radio](/components/Radio) component.
+  This will help keep your UI clean and uncluttered and prevent your users from
+  being overwhelmed by too many options.
+
+- **Don't use for boolean** (true/false) selection or to toggle things on and
+  off. [CheckboxField](/components/CheckboxField) and
+  [Toggle](/components/Toggle) are more suitable for such cases.
+
+- Use **short and descriptive labels**, ideally nouns rather than seemingly
+  polite phrases like _Please select your favourite fruit_. Short labels will
+  help your users accomplish their task faster.
+
+- Only make the SelectField's label invisible when there is **another visual
+  clue** to guide users through filling the input. Using the first option as
+  label is not recommended either — it disappears once user makes their choice.
+
+- When a short label is not enough, use **help texts to guide users** before
+  they enter anything.
+
+- Use **clear, calm error messages** when there's a problem with what they
+  entered.
+
+- In case of a large amount of options, consider **grouping related items
+  together** by nesting them.
+
+👉 We use the **native `select`** HTML element to improve user experience on
+mobile devices by using the native select of the platform.
+
+## Design Variants
+
+To satisfy the design requirements of your project, all input fields in React UI
+come in two design variants to choose from: outline and filled. Both can be
+further [customized](#theming) with CSS custom properties.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        variant="filled"
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+## Sizes
+
+Aside from the default (medium) size, two additional sizes are available: small
+and large.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        size="small"
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        size="large"
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        size="small"
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        size="large"
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+Full-width fields span the full width of a parent:
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+## Grouping Related Options
+
+For a large amount of options you can group related items together by nesting
+them (implements the `optgroup` HTML element).
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [crop, setCrop] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Fruits',
+      options: [
+        {
+          label: 'Apple',
+          value: 'apple',
+        },
+        {
+          label: 'Banana',
+          value: 'banana',
+        },
+        {
+          label: 'Grapefruit',
+          value: 'grapefruit',
+        },
+      ],
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Vegetables',
+      options: [
+        {
+          label: 'Beetroot',
+          value: 'beetroot',
+        },
+        {
+          label: 'Carrot',
+          value: 'carrot',
+        },
+        {
+          label: 'Tomato',
+          value: 'tomato',
+        },
+      ],
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite crop"
+        onChange={(e) => setCrop(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={crop}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite crop"
+        onChange={(e) => setCrop(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={crop}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+## Invisible Label
+
+While it may be acceptable for login screens with just a few fields or for other
+simple forms, it's dangerous to hide labels from users in most cases. Keep in
+mind you should **provide another visual clue** so users know what to fill into
+the input.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        isLabelVisible={false}
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        isLabelVisible={false}
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+## Horizontal Layout
+
+The default vertical layout is very easy to use and work with. However, there
+are situations where horizontal layout suits better — and that's why React UI
+supports this kind of layout as well.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        isLabelVisible={false}
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        isLabelVisible={false}
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+## Help Text
+
+You may provide an additional help text to clarify how the input should be
+filled.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        helpText="Choose one or more kinds of fruit to feel happy."
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        helpText="Choose one or more kinds of fruit to feel happy."
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        helpText="Choose one or more kinds of fruit to feel happy."
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        helpText="Choose one or more kinds of fruit to feel happy."
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        helpText="Choose one or more kinds of fruit to feel happy."
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        fullWidth
+        helpText="Choose one or more kinds of fruit to feel happy."
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        layout="horizontal"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+});
+```
+
+## States
+
+### Validation States
+
+Validation states visually present the result of validation of the input. You
+should always **provide a validation message for states other than valid** so
+users know what happened and what action they should take or what options they
+have.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        required
+        validationState="valid"
+        validationText="Great, they're in stock!"
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        required
+        validationState="warning"
+        validationText="Oh, really?"
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        required
+        validationState="invalid"
+        validationText="You must select at least one kind of fruit."
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        required
+        validationState="valid"
+        validationText="Great, they're in stock!"
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        required
+        validationState="warning"
+        validationText="Oh, really?"
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        required
+        value={fruit}
+        validationState="invalid"
+        validationText="You must select at least one kind of fruit."
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+})
+```
+
+### Disabled State
+
+It's possible to disable just some options or the whole input.
+
+```docoff-react-preview
+React.createElement(() => {
+  const [fruit, setFruit] = React.useState('apple');
+  const options = [
+    {
+      label: 'Apple',
+      value: 'apple',
+    },
+    {
+      disabled: true,
+      label: 'Banana',
+      value: 'banana',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Grapefruit',
+      value: 'grapefruit',
+    },
+  ];
+  return (
+    <>
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value={fruit}
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        disabled
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value="apple"
+      />
+      <SelectField
+        disabled
+        label="Your favourite fruit"
+        onChange={(e) => setFruit(e.target.value)}
+        options={options}
+        value="apple"
+        variant="filled"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+})
+```
+
+## Forwarding HTML Attributes
+
+In addition to the options below in the [component's API](#api) section, you
+can specify [React synthetic events] or you can **add whatever HTML attribute
+you like.** All attributes that don't interfere with the API are forwarded to
+the native HTML `<select>`. This enables making the component interactive and helps
+to improve its accessibility.
+
+👉 Refer to the MDN reference for the full list of supported attributes of the
+[select] element.
+
+## Forwarding ref
+
+If you provide [ref], it is forwarded to the native HTML `<select>` element.
+
+## API

+
+## Theming
+
+Head to [Forms Theming](/docs/customize/theming/forms) to see shared form theming
+options. On top of that, the following options are available for SelectField.
+
+| Custom Property                                      | Description                                                  |
+|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
