<wa-combobox> can pull options from your server now!

Set a dataSource callback, get debounced fetch + loading/error/empty slots, and improve performance by not shipping thousands of options in your DOM.

Here comes the hot stepper! 🪜 WA 3.14 is out.

The experimental breaks checkout and signup into stages. We also taught (Pro) to load from your server, rewrote our AI design skill, and fixed a stack of a11y bugs.

The combobox is the most-failed "simple" widget in Angular.

Real one: input role=combobox + aria-expanded/controls, aria-activedescendant on the focused option (focus stays in the input), ↑↓ move, Enter select, Esc close. A div with a filtered list under it isn't one.

✅ Font substitute name should appear in the font name combobox and in its tooltip

Pinemix is back baby with a brand new component!

Combobox just landed with type to search, keyboard nav, multi select chips, and custom values if nothing matches.

Alpine + Tailwind CSS, no plugins, just copy paste.

The input itself I would just call a rich input (doesn’t need to be search to use this kind of plain text + tokens/pills visual & functional separation), the dropdown area is a suggest [listbox] popup.

The whole thing could be called something like a query composer or a search query combobox

Stoked with how this combobox for Kit's design system came together. Lots of design engineering in a single component.

It offers both single and multiple selection variants, with fuzzy match, search highlighting, and convenient clearing options, all with full keyboard support.

A ⌘K palette is a combobox in a dialog — a11y is the whole job: role=dialog, focus trap, Esc returns focus, input=combobox, results=listbox, aria-activedescendant, live result count. @ngbracket/command, today: https://ngbracket.com?utm_source=bsky&utm_campaign=w5-command

Angular ships headless a11y primitives now: @angular/aria. Unstyled behaviour-only blocks (combobox, listbox…) with ARIA roles, keyboard model and focus already correct. You bring CSS; they bring the part nobody hand-rolls right. #Angular #a11y

Not to even mention how long I spent specifying precisely what the bug is at an intersection of the three state machines and one simple decision branch fighting for control over the language of the voice combobox for tts

Combobox from alternate universe:
<input type="text">
<option></option>
...
</input>

The combobox got a hardening pass too - proper accessible names, form validation that actually shows an error instead of silently blocking submit, and chips that remove in the order you see them.

Accessible typeahead in Angular is all in the ARIA: input role=combobox + aria-activedescendant, list role=listbox, ↑/↓ move the *active* option (focus stays in the input), Esc closes, live region announces "N results". Details: https://ngbracket.com?utm_source=bsky&utm_campaign=wave4 #a11y

I'm not interested in dunking on "frameworks" without clear examples of before and after native web technologies. Otherwise it's just old man yelling at cloud.

I tried doing an accessible vanilla JS combobox search, turns out it's really hard. Managing DOM in JS is still a major error prone PITA.

Autocomplete is where teams quietly give up on a11y — a floating div of results is a screen-reader dead end. ARIA combobox pattern: role=combobox + aria-expanded, role=option/listbox, aria-activedescendant (focus stays in input), an aria-live result count, Esc/Enter. #a11y

We've made so many improvements to @ariakit.com components over the past 3 months.

I'm especially excited about the performance gains.

In the next version, the new ComboboxSelect component will be twice as fast as the current Combobox + Select combination used to build selects with search fields.
