Svelte Select - Flowbite

Get started with the select component to allow the user to choose from one or more options from a dropdown list based on multiple styles, sizes, and variants

The select input component can be used to gather information from users based on multiple options in the form of a dropdown list and by browsing this page you will find multiple options, styles, sizes, and variants built with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS also available in dark mode.

Setup #

  ];
</script>

<Label for="select-disabled" class="mb-2">Disabled select</Label>

<Label for="countries">Select an option</Label>
<Select id="countries" class="mt-2" bind:value={selected} placeholder="">
