What it is and when to use
Select is a dropdown input built on Radix UI's Select primitive for choosing a single value from a list. Click the trigger to open a portal-rendered menu with keyboard navigation, typeahead, grouped options, labels, separators, and scroll buttons for long lists. Use it in forms when the option set is known and you want a styled, accessible alternative to the native select element. It is composed from Select, SelectTrigger, SelectContent, and SelectItem parts.
