@# HTML select

Styling HTML `<select>` tags requires a wrapper element to customize the dropdown caret, so Blueprint provides
a __HTMLSelect__ component to streamline this process.

<div class="@ns-callout @ns-intent-success @ns-icon-info-sign @ns-callout-has-body-content">

The [__Select__](#select/select-component) component in the [**@blueprintjs/select**](#select)
package provides a more full-features alternative to the native HTML `<select>` tag. Notably, it
supports custom filtering logic and item rendering.

</div>

@## Usage

Use __HTMLSelect__ exactly like you would use a native `<select>` with `value` (or `defaultValue`) and `onChange`.
Options can be passed as `<option>` children for full flexibility or via the `options` prop for simple shorthand.

Deprecated API: use [`<HTMLSelect>`](#core/components/html-select)

</h5>

CSS APIs for Blueprint components are considered deprecated, as they are verbose, error-prone, and they
often fall out of sync as the design system is updated. You should use the React component APIs instead.

Put class modifiers on the wrapper and attribute modifiers and event handlers directly on the `<select>`.
