A live, theme-aware example rendered with the published component.

Import

Import from the focused entry point below, or use the same named export from @tavojs/ui. Both are public APIs; measure the built application when comparing their bundle cost.

TSX

tsximport { Combobox } from "@tavojs/ui/combobox";

The component import loads compiled component CSS. Enable tavoUi() for your project theme variables, or import @tavojs/ui/theme.css once for the package default theme. The equivalent CSS-safe component alias is @tavojs/ui/css/combobox.

When to use

Use it when

Use `Combobox` for datalist-backed suggestions

Choose something else when

Avoid Combobox when wrapping controls without labels or accessible names.

Examples

These examples include imports and local state where interaction requires it. Render the exported component in a page after completing UI installation. Demo state stays in the mounted component; connect file handling, persistence, and data loading to your application as needed.

Combobox example

TSXCreate: src/components/examples/ComboboxExample1.tsx

tsximport { Combobox } from "@tavojs/ui/combobox";
import { Field } from "@tavojs/ui";

export function ComboboxExample1() {
  return (
    <>
      <Field id="framework-choice" label="Framework">
        <Combobox name="framework" listId="framework-options" options={[{ label: "Tavo.js", value: "tavo" }]} />
      </Field>
    </>
  );
}

State ownership and DOM target

Concern	Contract
State	No component state contract is exposed; the application owns the rendered content and surrounding behavior.
DOM target	Native input attributes target the owned form control; wrapper-specific props stay on the documented component root.

Anatomy and related components

This component exposes one public component root rather than a compound member API.

Limitations

Avoid Combobox when wrapping controls without labels or accessible names.

Use only the documented props, entry points, and compound members. Internal DOM nesting and CSS class names can change without becoming part of the public component contract.

Accessibility

Uses native `input` plus `datalist`.

Uses native `input` plus `datalist`.
