Overview

The Listbox component provides users with a selectable list of options. It's designed to offer an enhanced selection experience with features like typeahead search, keyboard navigation, and customizable grouping. This component is particularly useful for scenarios where users need to choose from a predefined set of options, offering more functionality than a standard select element.

Key Features

  • Typeahead Search: Users can quickly find options by typing
  • Keyboard Navigation: Full support for keyboard interactions, allowing users to navigate through options using arrow keys, enter to select, and more.
  • Grouped Options: Ability to organize options into logical groups, enhancing readability and organization of large option sets.
  • Scroll Management: Includes scroll up/down buttons for easy navigation in long lists.
  • Accessibility: Built-in ARIA attributes and keyboard support ensure compatibility with screen readers and adherence to accessibility standards.
  • Portal Support: Option to render the listbox content in a portal, preventing layout issues in complex UI structures.

Architecture

The Listbox component is composed of several subcomponents, each with a specific role:

  • Root: The main container component that manages the state and context for the combobox.
  • Trigger: The button or element that opens the dropdown list.
  • Portal: Responsible for portaling the dropdown content to the body or a custom target.
  • Group: A container for grouped items, used to group related items.
  • GroupHeading: A heading for a group of items, providing a descriptive label for the group.
  • Item: An individual item within the list.
  • Separator: A visual separator between items.
  • Content: The dropdown container that displays the items. It uses Floating UI to position the content relative to the trigger.
  • ContentStatic (Optional): An alternative to the Content component, that enables you to opt-out of Floating UI and position the content yourself.
  • Arrow: An arrow element that points to the trigger when using the Combobox.Content component.

Structure

Here's an overview of how the Listbox component is structured in code:

	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
</script>
 
<Listbox.Root>
	<Listbox.Trigger />
	<Listbox.Portal>
		<Listbox.Content>
			<Listbox.ScrollUpButton />
			<Listbox.Viewport>
				<Listbox.Item />
				<Listbox.Group>
					<Listbox.GroupHeading />
					<Listbox.Item />
				</Listbox.Group>
				<Listbox.ScrollDownButton />
			</Listbox.Viewport>
		</Listbox.Content>
	</Listbox.Portal>
</Listbox.Root>

Reusable Components

As you can see from the structure above, there are a number of pieces that make up the Listbox component. These pieces are provided to give you maximum flexibility and customization options, but can be a burden to write out everywhere you need to use a listbox in your application.

To ease this burden, it's recommended to create your own reusable listbox component that wraps the primitives and provides a more convenient API for your use cases.

Here's an example of how you might create a reusable MyListbox component that receives a list of options and renders each of them as an item.

MyListbox.svelte
	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox, type WithoutChildren } from "bits-ui";
 
	type Props = WithoutChildren<Listbox.RootProps> & {
		placeholder?: string;
		items: { value: string; label: string; disabled?: boolean }[];
		contentProps?: WithoutChildren<Listbox.ContentProps>;
		// any other specific component props if needed
	};
 
	let { value = $bindable(""), items, contentProps, placeholder, ...restProps }: Props = $props();
 
	const selectedLabel = $derived(items.find((item) => item.value === value)?.label);
</script>
 
<Listbox.Root bind:value {...restProps}>
	<Listbox.Trigger>
		{#if selectedLabel}
			<Listbox.Value>
				{selectedLabel}
			</Listbox.Value>
		{:else}
			<Listbox.Value {placeholder} />
		{/if}
	</Listbox.Trigger>
	<Listbox.Portal>
		<Listbox.Content {...contentProps}>
			<Listbox.ScrollUpButton>up</Listbox.ScrollUpButton>
			<Listbox.Viewport>
				{#each items as { value, label, disabled } (value)}
					<Listbox.Item {value} textValue={label} {disabled}>
						{#snippet children({ selected })}
							{selected ? "✅" : ""}
							<Listbox.ItemText>
								{item.label}
							</Listbox.ItemText>
						{/snippet}
					</Listbox.Item>
				{/each}
			</Listbox.Viewport>
			<Listbox.ScrollDownButton>down</Listbox.ScrollDownButton>
		</Listbox.Content>
	</Listbox.Portal>
</Listbox.Root>

You can then use the MyListbox component throughout your application like so:

	<script lang="ts">
	import MyListbox from "$lib/components/MyListbox.svelte";
 
	const items = [
		{ value: "apple", label: "Apple" },
		{ value: "banana", label: "Banana" },
		{ value: "cherry", label: "Cherry" },
	];
 
	let fruit = $state("apple");
</script>
 
<MyListbox {items} bind:value={fruit} />

Managing Value State

Bits UI offers several approaches to manage and synchronize the Listbox's value state, catering to different levels of control and integration needs.

1. Two-Way Binding

For seamless state synchronization, use Svelte's bind:value directive. This method automatically keeps your local state in sync with the component's internal state.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
	let myValue = $state("");
</script>
 
<button onclick={() => (myValue = "A")}> Select A </button>
 
<Listbox.Root bind:value={myValue}>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Root>

Key Benefits

  • Simplifies state management
  • Automatically updates myValue when the internal state changes (e.g., via clicking on an item)
  • Allows external control (e.g., selecting an item via a separate button)

2. Change Handler

For more granular control or to perform additional logic on state changes, use the onValueChange prop. This approach is useful when you need to execute custom logic alongside state updates.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
	let myValue = $state("");
</script>
 
<Listbox.Root
	value={myValue}
	onValueChange={(value) => {
		myValue = value;
		// additional logic here.
	}}
>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Root>

Use Cases

  • Implementing custom behaviors on value change
  • Integrating with external state management solutions
  • Triggering side effects (e.g., logging, data fetching)

3. Fully Controlled

For complete control over the component's value state, use the controlledValue prop. This approach requires you to manually manage the value state, giving you full control over when and how the component responds to value change events.

To implement controlled state:

  1. Set the controlledValue prop to true on the Listbox.Root component.
  2. Provide a value prop to Listbox.Root, which should be a variable holding the current state.
  3. Implement an onValueChange handler to update the state when the internal state changes.
	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
	let myValue = $state("");
</script>
 
<Listbox.Root controlledValue value={myValue} onValueChange={(v) => (myValue = v)}>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Root>

When to Use

  • Implementing complex open/close logic
  • Coordinating multiple UI elements
  • Debugging state-related issues

Managing Open State

Bits UI offers several approaches to manage and synchronize the Listbox's open state, catering to different levels of control and integration needs.

1. Two-Way Binding

For seamless state synchronization, use Svelte's bind:open directive. This method automatically keeps your local state in sync with the component's internal state.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
	let myOpen = $state(false);
</script>
 
<button onclick={() => (myOpen = true)}> Open </button>
 
<Listbox.Root bind:open={myOpen}>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Root>

Key Benefits

  • Simplifies state management
  • Automatically updates myOpen when the internal state changes (e.g., via clicking on the trigger/input)
  • Allows external control (e.g., opening via a separate button)

2. Change Handler

For more granular control or to perform additional logic on state changes, use the onOpenChange prop. This approach is useful when you need to execute custom logic alongside state updates.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
	let myOpen = $state(false);
</script>
 
<Listbox.Root
	open={myOpen}
	onOpenchange={(o) => {
		myOpen = o;
		// additional logic here.
	}}
>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Root>

Use Cases

  • Implementing custom behaviors on open change
  • Integrating with external state management solutions
  • Triggering side effects (e.g., logging, data fetching)

3. Fully Controlled

For complete control over the component's value state, use the controlledOpen prop. This approach requires you to manually manage the value state, giving you full control over when and how the component responds to value change events.

To implement controlled state:

  1. Set the controlledOpen prop to true on the Listbox.Root component.
  2. Provide an open prop to Listbox.Root, which should be a variable holding the current state.
  3. Implement an onOpenChange handler to update the state when the internal state changes.
	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
	let myOpen = $state(false);
</script>
 
<Listbox.Root controlledOpen open={myOpen} onOpenChange={(v) => (myOpen = v)}>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Root>

When to Use

  • Implementing complex open/close logic
  • Coordinating multiple UI elements
  • Debugging state-related issues

Opt-out of Floating UI

When you use the Listbox.Content component, Bits UI uses Floating UI to position the content relative to the trigger, similar to other popover-like components.

You can opt-out of this behavior by instead using the Listbox.ContentStatic component.

	<Listbox.Root>
	<Listbox.Trigger />
	<Listbox.Portal>
		<Listbox.ContentStatic>
			<Listbox.ScrollUpButton />
			<Listbox.Viewport>
				<Listbox.Item />
				<Listbox.Group>
					<Listbox.GroupHeading />
					<Listbox.Item />
				</Listbox.Group>
				<Listbox.ScrollDownButton />
			</Listbox.Viewport>
		</Listbox.ContentStatic>
	</Listbox.Portal>
</Listbox.Root>

When using this component, you'll need to handle the positioning of the content yourself. Keep in mind that using Listbox.Portal alongside Listbox.ContentStatic may result in some unexpected positioning behavior, feel free to not use the portal or work around it.

Custom Anchor

By default, the Listbox.Content is anchored to the Listbox.Trigger component, which determines where the content is positioned.

If you wish to instead anchor the content to a different element, you can pass either a selector string or an HTMLElement to the customAnchor prop of the Listbox.Content component.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { Listbox } from "bits-ui";
 
	let customAnchor = $state<HTMLElement>(null!);
</script>
 
<div bind:this={customAnchor}></div>
 
<Listbox.Root>
	<Listbox.Trigger />
	<Listbox.Content {customAnchor}>
		<!-- ... -->
	</Listbox.Content>
</Listbox.Root>
Custom Anchor

What is the Viewport?

The Listbox.Viewport component is used to determine the size of the content in order to determine whether or not the scroll up and down buttons should be rendered.

If you wish to set a minimum/maximum height for the select content, you should apply it to the Listbox.Viewport component.

Scroll Up/Down Buttons

The Listbox.ScrollUpButton and Listbox.ScrollDownButton components are used to render the scroll up and down buttons when the select content is larger than the viewport.

You must use the Listbox.Viewport component when using the scroll buttons.

Native Scrolling/Overflow

If you don't want to use the scroll buttons and prefer to use the standard scrollbar/overflow behavior, you can omit the Listbox.Scroll[Up|Down]Button components and the Listbox.Viewport component.

You'll need to set a height on the Listbox.Content component and appropriate overflow styles to enable scrolling.

Scroll Lock

By default, when a user opens the listbox, scrolling outside the content will be disabled. You can override this behavior by setting the preventScroll prop to false.

	<Listbox.Content preventScroll={false}>
	<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Content>

Highlighted Items

The Listbox component follows the WAI-ARIA descendant pattern for highlighting items. This means that the Listbox.Trigger retains focus the entire time, even when navigating with the keyboard, and items are highlighted as the user navigates them.

Styling Highlighted Items

You can use the data-highlighted attribute on the Listbox.Item component to style the item differently when it is highlighted.

onHighlight / onUnhighlight

To trigger side effects when an item is highlighted or unhighlighted, you can use the onHighlight and onUnhighlight props.

	<Listbox.Item onHighlight={() => console.log('I am highlighted!')} onUnhighlight={() => console.log('I am unhighlighted!')} />
<!-- ... -->
</Listbox.Item>
