Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal

php artisan ui:add select-advanced

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/select-advanced.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './select-advanced.js';

Guidance

Bounded compact selection

Choose from a bounded option set in limited space.

Use when

Use when users choose among a bounded set and space efficiency matters more than always-visible comparison. Do not use for tiny lists or when users benefit from seeing all options at once.

Avoid when

Avoid using select-advanced as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.

Task length: micro
Interaction cost: low
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: constrained
Mobile / touch risk: low
Accessibility risk: medium
Needs background context: No
Comparison needed: No

Preferred alternatives

Radio or checkbox for visible comparison

Anti-patterns

Hiding tiny or high-frequency option sets

    </x-ui.select-advanced>
</div>

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
