How the Global Custom Select JS Works

The global script components.js monitors specific class names to run the premium custom select elements. Ensure your markup uses these selectors to integrate selection, triggers, and keyboard arrow controls:

Selector / Class Type Behavior & Purpose
.custom-select Class Outer wrapper for the entire select component. Scopes and isolates input values and popovers.
.select-value Class Applied to the <input type="hidden"> that stores the raw value submitted to forms.
.select-trigger Class The visible button that user clicks. Toggles popover visibility and chevron rotation on click.
.select-text Class Inner text element inside trigger button that dynamically changes its text content to match the selected option.
.select-chevron Class Arrow SVG icon. Rotates 180 degrees (adds rotate-180) when the menu opens.
.select-popover Class Floating list container. Starts with the class hidden. Positioned absolutely.
.select-item Class Applied to choices inside popover (usually buttons). Must have data-value="..." containing the raw option value.
💡 What is customizable?

You can customize the button trigger layout (paddings, chevrons, fonts, sizing), borders, shadows, options listing alignment, and checkmark icons. Ensure you preserve the classes .custom-select, .select-value, .select-trigger, .select-popover, and .select-item with its data-value attribute so that mouse selections and keyboard arrows function correctly.
