Selects
Select components are used for collecting user provided information from a list of options.
Simple Select
Menus are positioned over their emitting elements such that the currently selected menu item appears on top of the emitting element.
Native Select
As the user experience can be improved on mobile using the native select of the platform, we allow such pattern.

Customized selects
Here are some examples of customizing the component. You can learn more about this in the overrides documentation page.
The first step is to style the InputBase component.
Once it's styled, you can either use it directly as a text field or provide it to the select input property to have a select field.
Multiple Select
The Select component can handle multiple selections.
It's enabled with the multiple property.
Like with the single selection, you can pull out the new value by accessing event.target.value in the onChange callback. It's always an array.
With a Dialog
While it's discouraged by the Material Design specification, you can use a select inside a dialog.
Text Fields
The TextField wrapper component is a complete form control including a label, input and help text. You can find an example with the select mode in this section.
