Select Rich: Overview

This web component is a 'rich' version of the native <select> element. It allows providing fully customized options and a fully customized invoker button and is meant to be used whenever the native <select> doesn't provide enough styling, theming or user interaction opportunities.

Its implementation is based on the following Design pattern: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/listbox/listbox-collapsible.html

<lion-select-rich name="favoriteColor" label="Favorite color">
  <lion-option .choiceValue="${'red'}">Red</lion-option>
  <lion-option .choiceValue="${'hotpink'}">Hotpink</lion-option>
  <lion-option .choiceValue="${'blue'}">Blue</lion-option>
</lion-select-rich>
