Combobox provides a set of components and hooks to custom select, multiselect or autocomplete components.
The component is very flexible – you have full control of the rendering and logic.
useCombobox hook
useCombobox hook provides combobox store. The store contains the current state of the component
and handlers to update it. Created store must be passed to the store prop of Combobox:
useCombobox options

useCombobox handlers
Combobox store handlers can be used to control Combobox state.
For example, to open the dropdown, call openDropdown handler:
You can use store handlers in useCombobox options. For example, you can
call selectFirstOption when the dropdown is opened and resetSelectedOption
when it is closed:
Combobox.Target
Combobox.Target should be used as a wrapper for the target element or component.
Combobox.Target marks its child as a target for dropdown and sets aria-* attributes
and adds keyboard event listeners to it.
Combobox.Target requires a single child element or component. The child component
must accept ref and ...others props. You can use any Mantine component as a target without
any additional configuration, for example, Button, TextInput
or InputBase.
Example of using Combobox.Target with TextInput component:
Example of using Combobox.Target with Button component:
Split events and dropdown targets
In some cases, you might need to use different elements as an events target and as a dropdown.
Use Combobox.EventsTarget to add aria-* attributes and keyboard event handlers, and
Combobox.DropdownTarget to position the dropdown relative to the target.
You can have as many Combobox.EventsTarget as you need, but only one Combobox.DropdownTarget
per Combobox.
Example of using Combobox.EventsTarget and Combobox.DropdownTarget with PillsInput component
to create a searchable multiselect component:
Update selected option index
updateSelectedOptionIndex handler is required to be called when options list changes.
Usually, the options list changes when options are filtered based on the search query. In this case,
you need to call updateSelectedOptionIndex in onChange handler of the search input.
Example of using updateSelectedOptionIndex handler in searchable select component:
Search input
If you prefer search input inside the dropdown, use Combobox.Search component.
To focus the search input, call combobox.focusSearchInput, usually it is done
when the dropdown is opened. To prevent focus loss after the dropdown is closed,
call combobox.focusTarget:
Select first option
Use combobox.selectFirstOption function to select the first option. It is useful
if you want to select the first option when user searching for options in the list.
If there are no options available, it will do nothing.
Active option
Set active prop on Combobox.Option component to mark it as active.
By default, an active option does not have any styles, you can use data-combobox-active
data attribute to style it.
combobox.selectActiveOption function selects active option. Usually, it is called
when the dropdown is opened:
Options groups
Render Combobox.Option components inside Combobox.Group to create options group.
Combobox.Group label will be automatically hidden if the group does not have any
children.
Scrollable list
Set max-height style on either Combobox.Dropdown or Combobox.Options to make the
options list scrollable. You can use mah style prop to set
max-height.
Scrollable list with ScrollArea
You can also use ScrollArea or ScrollArea.Autosize components instead of native scrollbars:
Hide dropdown
Set hidden prop on Combobox.Dropdown to hide the dropdown. For example,
it can be useful when you want to show the dropdown only when there is at least
one option available:
Control dropdown opened state
To control the dropdown opened state, pass opened to useCombobox hook:
Dropdown is opened/closed when button is clicked
Popover props
Combobox supports most of Popover props. For example,
you can control dropdown position with position prop and disable Floating UI
middlewares with middlewares prop:
Without dropdown
You can use Combobox without dropdown. To do so, use Combobox.EventsTarget instead
of Combobox.Target:
