## When To Use

- A dropdown menu for displaying choices - an elegant alternative to the native `<select>` element.
- Utilizing [Radio](/components/radio/) is recommended when there are fewer total options (less than 5).
- You probably need [AutoComplete](/components/auto-complete/) if you're looking for an input box that can be typed or selected.

### Usage upgrade after 5.11.0

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
:::info{title="Upgrade Tip"}
After version 5.11.0, we provide a simpler usage `<Select options={[...]} />` with better performance and potential of writing simpler code style in your applications.
Meanwhile, we deprecated the old usage in browser console, we will remove it in antd 6.0.
:::

```jsx
// works when >=5.11.0, recommended ✅
return <Select options={[{ value: 'sample', label: <span>sample</span> }]} />;

// works when <5.11.0, deprecated when >=5.11.0 🙅🏻‍♀️
return (
  <Select onChange={onChange}>
    <Select.Option value="sample">Sample</Select.Option>
  </Select>
);
```

## FAQ

### Why sometime search will show 2 same option when in `tags` mode?

It's caused by option with different `label` and `value`. You can use `optionFilterProp="label"` to change filter logic instead.

### When I click elements in dropdownRender, the select dropdown will not be closed?

You can control it by `open` prop: [codesandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/ji-ben-shi-yong-antd-4-21-7-forked-gnp4cy?file=/demo.js).

### I don't want dropdown close when click inside `dropdownRender`?

Select will close when it lose focus. You can prevent event to handle this:

```tsx
<Select
  dropdownRender={() => (
    <div
      onMouseDown={(e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();
      }}
    >
      Some Content
    </div>
  )}
/>
```

### Why sometime customize Option cause scroll break?

Virtual scroll internal set item height as `24px`. You need to adjust `listItemHeight` when your option height is less and `listHeight` config list container height:

```tsx
<Select listItemHeight={10} listHeight={250} />
```

Note: `listItemHeight` and `listHeight` are internal props. Please only modify when necessary.

### Why a11y test report missing `aria-` props?

Select only create a11y auxiliary node when operating on. Please open Select and retry. For `aria-label` & `aria-labelledby` miss warning, please add related prop to Select with your own requirement.

Default virtual scrolling will create a mock element to simulate an accessible binding. If a screen reader needs to fully access the entire list, you can set `virtual={false}` to disable virtual scrolling and the accessibility option will be bound to the actual element.
