Combobox
Section Then Value
A “section then value” picker: sections on the left, their contents on the right, and the moment you type, both panes collapse into one cross-section list of matches.
React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.
What you can change
- label — the field caption above the list
- placeholder — the hint text in the search field
- sections — the catalogue itself: an array of sections with their items
A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ
- How do I add Section Then Value with Cursor or Claude Code?
- Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
- What does Section Then Value depend on?
- No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
- What can I change in Section Then Value?
- Adapt: label — the field caption above the list; placeholder — the hint text in the search field; sections — the catalogue itself: an array of sections with their items. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-combobox-013-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens (bg-popover, text-muted-foreground and the like); the two modes switched by a non-empty query: hierarchy for browsing, a flat list for searching — that is the core of this variant; the section caption on a match: without it two identical names from different sections are indistinguishable.
- Is Section Then Value free?
- Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.

Technical notes
The component is self-contained: one file, zero dependencies, its own palette in the local --vibeui-combobox-013-* variables. Client component: the query, the active section and the value live in useState. The layout is a two-column grid, and the left column scrolls separately from the right. The key mechanism is in useMemo: while the query is empty the right column shows the items of the active section, and once the query is non-empty the list is assembled with a flatMap over every section and each row gains a section caption [data-part="where"] — so the search does not break the hierarchy but temporarily flattens it. The left column is hidden with the hidden attribute rather than by unmounting, so the width does not twitch. ARIA: an input with role="combobox", the right column a role="listbox", the rows buttons with role="option" inside li role="none", so the keyboard works without managing activedescendant by hand.
