​
Native Select vs Select

  • Use NativeSelect when you need native browser behavior, better performance, or mobile-optimized dropdowns.
  • Use Select when you need custom styling, animations, or complex interactions.
The NativeSelect component provides native HTML select functionality with consistent styling that matches your design system.

​
Accessibility

  • The component maintains all native HTML select accessibility features.
  • Screen readers can navigate through options using arrow keys.
  • The chevron icon is marked as aria-hidden="true" to avoid duplication.
  • Use aria-label or aria-labelledby for additional context when needed.
