NativeSelect API

API documentation for the React NativeSelect component. Learn about the available props, and the CSS API.

Import

import NativeSelect from '@material-ui/core/NativeSelect';
// or
import { NativeSelect } from '@material-ui/core';

You can learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

An alternative to <Select native /> with a much smaller bundle size footprint.

Component name

The name MuiNativeSelect can be used when providing default props or style overrides in the theme.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The option elements to populate the select with. Can be some `<option>` elements.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
IconComponent	elementType	ArrowDropDownIcon	The icon that displays the arrow.
input	element	<Input />	An `Input` element; does not have to be a material-ui specific `Input`.
inputProps	object		<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#Attributes">Attributes</a> applied to the `select` element.
onChange	func		Callback fired when a menu item is selected. Signature: `function(event: object) => void` event: The event source of the callback. You can pull out the new value by accessing `event.target.value` (string).
value	any		The `input` value. The DOM API casts this to a string.
variant	'filled' \| 'outlined' \| 'standard'		The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (Input).

Inheritance

While not explicitly documented above, the props of the Input component are also available on NativeSelect. You can take advantage of this to target nested components.
