Animation Configurations
Bring your interface to life with smooth, performant animations
Badge Animation Showcase
Creates a gentle pulsing effect that draws attention
Elegant fade-in/fade-out for subtle interactions
Fun shake animation for interactive feedback
Spring-like animation for dynamic interactions
Best Practices
Use animations purposefully to enhance user experience, not distract from it. Consider your application's context and user needs when choosing animation styles.
- • Use subtle animations for feedback
- • Maintain consistent timing
- • Test on slower devices
- • Excessive or distracting effects
- • Long animation durations
- • Ignoring accessibility settings
Responsive Behavior
Seamlessly adapts to any screen size with intelligent layout optimization
Live Responsive Demo
Try resizing your browser window to see how the component adapts its maxCount and layout behavior:
maxCount: 1, Compact mode enabled
maxCount: 2, Standard layout
maxCount: 4, Full layout
Current Selection: engineering, design
Mobile-First Approach
Our responsive system follows mobile-first principles, starting with optimized mobile experience and progressively enhancing for larger screens. This ensures excellent performance across all devices.
Grouped Options
Organize complex option sets into logical categories with visual separators
Technology Stack Selector
Choose from categorized technology options to build your stack:
Selected Stack: react, nodejs
Implementation Strategy
Groups are defined in the options data structure using separators or category labels. The component automatically renders visual dividers and maintains group integrity during search operations.
Search and UI Configuration
Powerful search capabilities with customizable UI controls and empty states
Search Configuration Comparison
Compare different search and UI configurations side by side:
Search Performance
Our search implementation is optimized for performance with debounced input handling, efficient filtering algorithms, and smooth animations that don't block user interactions.
Layout and Sizing Options
Adaptable layout modes for different space constraints and design requirements
Layout Demonstrations
Horizontal scrolling when content exceeds container width
Uses full container width
Adapts to content size
Layout Best Practices
Choose the right layout mode based on your design constraints. Use single-line mode for toolbars and compact interfaces, auto-sizing for flexible content areas, and fixed width for consistent layouts.
Custom Styling and Colors
Express your brand identity with custom badge colors and gradient backgrounds
Styled Project Types
Each project type has its own unique color scheme and styling:
Style Categories
Current Selection
Design System Integration
Custom styling seamlessly integrates with your existing design system. Define colors that match your brand, use consistent spacing, and maintain visual hierarchy across your application.
Disabled States
Control user access with component-level and option-level disabled states
Disabled State Demonstrations
Some skills are disabled based on availability or access level
Complete component disabled for maintenance or restricted access
Accessibility & UX
Disabled states maintain excellent accessibility with proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation support, and clear visual indicators that help users understand why certain options are unavailable.
Advanced Features
Sophisticated behaviors for complex interaction patterns and edge cases
Advanced Behavior Showcase
Automatically closes popover after each selection
Renders popover as modal overlay for focus control
Allows similar labels with different values
Enterprise-Ready Features
These advanced features are designed for enterprise applications where user experience consistency, accessibility compliance, and edge case handling are critical requirements.
Imperative Methods (useRef)
Programmatic control with ref methods for complex interaction patterns
Interactive Control Panel
Try the buttons below to programmatically control the MultiSelect component:
react, next.js
Implementation Pattern
Imperative methods bridge the gap between declarative React patterns and imperative interactions. They're particularly useful for complex user flows, integrations with third-party libraries, and advanced accessibility features.

Building Your Tech Stack
A comprehensive guide to selecting the right technologies for your next project
Choosing the right technology stack is crucial for any successful project. Whether you're building a web application, mobile app, or enterprise solution, the technologies you select will impact your development speed, scalability, and long-term maintenance.
Select Your Preferred Technologies
Try our interactive multi-select component to choose technologies for your project:
Modern development teams often prefer TypeScript for its type safety, React for component-based architecture, and Node.js for full-stack JavaScript development.
Project Categories
What type of project are you planning to build?
The choice of technology stack should align with your project requirements, team expertise, and long-term goals. Consider factors such as performance, scalability, maintainability, and community supportwhen making your decisions.
Team Skills Assessment
Before finalizing your tech stack, assess your team's current skills and expertise. This will help determine whether you need additional training or if you should consider alternative technologies.
Current Skills
Select the technologies your team is already proficient in:
Remember, the best technology stack is the one that your team can effectively use to deliver value to your users. Don't choose technologies just because they're trendy – choose them because they solve real problems and fit your specific use case.

Implementation Best Practices
Essential Tips
- • Always provide onValueChange callback
- • Use meaningful option labels
- • Set appropriate maxCount for UI
- • Test with different data sizes
Performance
- • Enable deduplicateOptions for large datasets
- • Use responsive props for mobile
- • Optimize search with custom filtering
- • Memoize option arrays when possible
Quick Start: Most use cases only need options, onValueChange, and optionally defaultValue. All other props enhance the experience but have sensible defaults.
