      text: 'Tacos',

      />
    </div>
  )
}

Select Multiple

The multiple prop enables multiple selections; however, for a better user experience, we recommend our Typeahead kit.

import Select from 'playbook-ui'

const SelectMultiple = (props) => {
  const options = [
    {
      value: '1',
      text: 'Burgers',
    },
    {
      value: '2',
      text: 'Pizza',
    },
    {
      value: '3',
      text: 'Tacos',
    },
    {
      value: '3',
      text: 'BBQ',
    },
    {
      value: '3',
      text: 'Sushi',
    },
    {
      value: '3',
      text: 'Chinese',
    },
    {
      value: '3',
      text: 'Hot Dogs',
    },
  ]

  return (
    <div>
      <Select
          label="Favorite Food"
          multiple
          name="food"
          options={options}
      />
    </div>
  )
}

export default SelectMultiple

Things to Avoid

Try to avoid using select when there are limited options to choose from (ie either or questions, yes/no questions, etc).
