Use the following composition to build a Select:

Select
├── SelectTrigger

└── SelectContent
    ├── SelectGroup
    │   ├── SelectLabel

    │   └── SelectItem

Examples

Align Item With Trigger

Use alignItemWithTrigger on SelectContent to control whether the selected item aligns with the trigger. When true (default), the popup positions so the selected item appears over the trigger. When false, the popup aligns to the trigger edge.

Toggle to align the item with the trigger.
