Select Menus
MDC Select provides Material Design single-option select menus, using the MDC menu. The Select component is fully accessible, and supports RTL rendering.
Important Changes
Select is currently being updated to use the new List implementation. For now,
please continue to use the old implementation (mdc-deprecated-list
and
associated DOM/classes) instead of the new one (mdc-list
).
See the List documentation for more information.
Design & API Documentation
Installation
npm install @material/select
Basic Usage
The select uses an MDCMenu
component instance to contain the list of options, but uses the
data-value
attribute instead of value
to represent the options' values.
NOTE: The
data-value
attribute must be present on each option.
The select requires that you set the width
of the mdc-select
element. This is best done through the use of another class (e.g. demo-width-class
in the example HTML and CSS below).
HTML
The HTML for the select component follows the WAI-ARIA recommendations for Collapsible Dropdown Listboxes in order to meet WCAG and ARIA accessibility standards, and to be compatible with assistive technology like screen readers.
The following example applies ARIA attributes that provide the semantic structure required for assistive technology:
<div class="mdc-select mdc-select--filled demo-width-class">
<div class="mdc-select__anchor"
role="button"
aria-haspopup="listbox"
aria-expanded="false"
aria-labelledby="demo-label demo-selected-text">
<span class="mdc-select__ripple"></span>
<span id="demo-label" class="mdc-floating-label">Pick a Food Group</span>
<span class="mdc-select__selected-text-container">
<span id="demo-selected-text" class="mdc-select__selected-text"></span>
</span>
<span class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon">
<svg
class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon-graphic"
viewBox="7 10 10 5" focusable="false">
<polygon
class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon-inactive"

fill-rule="evenodd"
points="7 10 12 15 17 10">
</polygon>
<polygon
class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon-active"
stroke="none"
fill-rule="evenodd"
points="7 15 12 10 17 15">
</polygon>
</svg>
</span>
<span class="mdc-line-ripple"></span>
</div>
<div class="mdc-select__menu mdc-menu mdc-menu-surface mdc-menu-surface--fullwidth">
<ul class="mdc-deprecated-list" role="listbox" aria-label="Food picker listbox">
<li class="mdc-deprecated-list-item mdc-deprecated-list-item--selected" aria-selected="true" data-value="" role="option">
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__ripple"></span>
</li>
<li class="mdc-deprecated-list-item" aria-selected="false" data-value="grains" role="option">
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__ripple"></span>
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__text">
Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta
</span>
</li>
<li class="mdc-deprecated-list-item mdc-deprecated-list-item--disabled" aria-selected="false" data-value="vegetables" aria-disabled="true" role="option">
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__ripple"></span>
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__text">
Vegetables
</span>
</li>
<li class="mdc-deprecated-list-item" aria-selected="false" data-value="fruit" role="option">
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__ripple"></span>
<span class="mdc-deprecated-list-item__text">
Fruit
</span>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
NOTE: The menu width matches the width of the select by default. To set menu to its natural width, remove
mdc-menu-surface--fullwidth
from the menu surface.
Styles
When using the select, you will also need to load the Menu and List components' styles.
@use "@material/list/mdc-list";
@use "@material/menu-surface/mdc-menu-surface";
@use "@material/menu/mdc-menu";
@use "@material/select/styles";
.demo-width-class {
width: 400px;
}
Theming
@use '@material/select';
.my-demo-select {
@include select.filled-density(-2);
}
JavaScript Instantiation
import {MDCSelect} from '@material/select';
const select = new MDCSelect(document.querySelector('.mdc-select'));
select.listen('MDCSelect:change', () => {
alert(`Selected option at index ${select.selectedIndex} with value "${select.value}"`);
});
See Importing the JS component for more information on how to import JavaScript.
Variants
Outlined Select
The Select Outlined variant uses the mdc-notched-outline
in place of the mdc-line-ripple
element and adds the
mdc-select--outlined
modifier class on the root element. All other elements for each type of select remain the
same.
<div class="mdc-select mdc-select--outlined">
<div class="mdc-select__anchor" aria-labelledby="outlined-select-label">
<span class="mdc-notched-outline">
<span class="mdc-notched-outline__leading"></span>
<span class="mdc-notched-outline__notch">
<span id="outlined-select-label" class="mdc-floating-label">Pick a Food Group</span>
</span>
<span class="mdc-notched-outline__trailing"></span>
</span>
<span class="mdc-select__selected-text-container">
<span id="demo-selected-text" class="mdc-select__selected-text"></span>
</span>
<span class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon">
<svg
class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon-graphic"
viewBox="7 10 10 5" focusable="false">
<polygon
class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon-inactive"
stroke="none"
fill-rule="evenodd"
points="7 10 12 15 17 10">
</polygon>
<polygon
class="mdc-select__dropdown-icon-active"
stroke="none"
fill-rule="evenodd"
points="7 15 12 10 17 15">
</polygon>
</svg>
</span>
</div>
<!-- Other elements from the select remain. -->
<div class="mdc-select__menu mdc-menu mdc-menu-surface mdc-menu-surface--fullwidth">...</div>
</div>
Additional Information
Select with hidden input (for HTML forms)
For convenient submission of Select's value in HTML forms, a hidden input element may be added under the root element. The component will synchronize its value with that of the hidden input.
<div class="mdc-select mdc-select--filled demo-width-class">
<input type="hidden" name="demo-input">
<div class="mdc-select__anchor">
<!-- Rest of component omitted for brevity -->
</div>
</div>
Select with pre-selected option
To indicate a select component that has a pre-selected value, use the mdc-deprecated-list-item--selected
class
to set the selected item. The select also needs the text from the selected element copied to the
mdc-select__selected-text
element.
<div class="mdc-select mdc-select--filled demo-width-class">
<div class="mdc-select__anchor">
<span class="mdc-select__ripple"></span>

</div>
</div>
Using the floating label as the placeholder
Leave the mdc-select__selected-text
element empty and don't specify an element as selected.
If leaving the field empty should be a valid option, include an mdc-deprecated-list-item
element at the beginning of
the list with an empty data-value
attribute.
<li class="mdc-deprecated-list-item mdc-deprecated-list-item--selected" aria-selected="true" role="option" data-value=""></li>
Required select
To style a select menu as required and enable validation, add the mdc-select--required
class to the mdc-select
element
and set the aria-required
attribute on the mdc-select__anchor
element to be "true"
.
<div class="mdc-select mdc-select--filled mdc-select--required">
<div class="mdc-select__anchor" aria-required="true">
<span class="mdc-select__ripple"></span>

Select with Helper Text
The helper text provides supplemental information and/or validation messages to users. It appears when the select element is focused and disappears on blur by default, or it can be persistent. See here for more information on using helper text.
Select with Leading Icons
Leading icons can be added within the default or outlined variant of MDC Select as visual indicators as well as interaction targets. See here for more information on using icons.
Select with No Label
A label is not required if a separate, adjacent label is provided elsewhere. To correctly style
MDC Select without a label, add the class mdc-select--no-label
and remove the label from the
structure.
